Abstrakt: The hapax legomenon , מתיהדים , in Esth 8:17 has typically been interpreted as "becoming Jews" or "pretending to become Jews." Based on contextual factors, we argue that neither of those interpretations is satisfactory. Instead, we argue for the meaning , "siding with the Jews" or "joining with the Jews."
