As the wife of Haman, the king's vizier, she held a position of influence and was involved in the plot against the Jewish people. Her role in the narrative of Esther highlights the cultural and societal dynamics of the Persian court, where women could exert significant influence behind the scenes.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>wife of Haman<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Zeresh (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">זֶ֫רֶשׁ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>wife of Haman</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/esther/5-10.htm">Esther 5:10,14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/esther/6-13.htm">Esther 6:13</a> (twice in verse) (according to Opp<sup>Esth. 25</sup> = Persian <i><em>zaris</em></i>, Zend <i><em>zairis</em></i>, <em>la dorée</em>, compare <img src="/bdbgif/bdb028408.gif"> <em>aurum ductile</em>, Vull<sup>ii. 128 b</sup>; Jen<sup>VOJ, 1892, 64</sup> compare Elamite goddess <em>Kiriša</em>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Zeresh <p>Of Persian origin; Zeresh, Haman's wife -- Zeresh. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וְזֶ֣רֶשׁ וזרש זֶ֥רֶשׁ זֶ֨רֶשׁ זרש לְזֶ֤רֶשׁ לזרש lə·ze·reš ləzereš leZeresh veZeresh wə·ze·reš wəzereš ze·reš zereš Zeresh<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/esther/5-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Esther 5:10</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/esther/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">אֹהֲבָ֖יו וְאֶת־ <b> זֶ֥רֶשׁ </b> אִשְׁתּֽוֹ׃ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/esther/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> for his friends and his wife <span class="itali">Zeresh.</span><br><a href="/kjvs/esther/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> for his friends, <span class="itali">and Zeresh</span> his wife.<br><a href="/interlinear/esther/5-10.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> went his friends <span class="itali">Zeresh</span> and his wife<p><b><a href="/text/esther/5-14.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Esther 5:14</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/esther/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וַתֹּ֣אמֶר לוֹ֩ <b> זֶ֨רֶשׁ </b> אִשְׁתּ֜וֹ וְכָל־</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/esther/5.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> <span class="itali">Then Zeresh</span> his wife and all<br><a href="/kjvs/esther/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> Then said <span class="itali">Zeresh</span> his wife<br><a href="/interlinear/esther/5-14.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> said <span class="itali">Zeresh</span> his wife and all<p><b><a href="/text/esther/6-13.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Esther 6:13</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/esther/6.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וַיְסַפֵּ֨ר הָמָ֜ן <b> לְזֶ֤רֶשׁ </b> אִשְׁתּוֹ֙ וּלְכָל־</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/esther/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> recounted <span class="itali">to Zeresh</span> his wife<br><a href="/kjvs/esther/6.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> told <span class="itali">Zeresh</span> his wife<br><a href="/interlinear/esther/6-13.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> recounted Haman <span class="itali">to Zeresh</span> his wife and all<p><b><a href="/text/esther/6-13.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Esther 6:13</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/esther/6.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">ל֨וֹ חֲכָמָ֜יו <b> וְזֶ֣רֶשׁ </b> אִשְׁתּ֗וֹ אִ֣ם</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/esther/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> to him.
