Usage: Aridai is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Aridai is mentioned in the Book of Esther as one of the ten sons of Haman, the Agagite, who was an enemy of the Jews during the reign of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) of Persia. In Esther 9:9, Aridai is listed among the sons of Haman who were killed by the Jews in the citadel of Susa as part of their defense against Haman's plot to annihilate them. The narrative describes how the Jews, having been granted permission by the king to defend themselves, successfully thwarted their enemies, leading to the downfall of Haman's family. The name Aridai, along with his brothers, is mentioned in the context of the Jews' victory and the subsequent celebration of Purim, a festival commemorating their deliverance. The name itself, of Persian origin, reflects the cultural and historical context of the Persian Empire during this period.
