Commentary 28:6 The compound designation “Ha-Amon” was given to every high priest of the Egyptian god Amon. Hâmân هَامَانَ, as used in the Holy Qur’ân in verses 28:38,…
وَنُمَكِّنَ لَهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَنُرِيَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَامَانَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا مِنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَحْذَرُونَ
28:6 The compound designation “Ha-Amon” was given to every high priest of the Egyptian god Amon. Hâmân هَامَانَ, as used in the Holy Qur’ân in verses 28:38, 29:39,and 40:24,36, is not a proper name but the Arabic form of Ha-Amon, the high priest of Amon, the sun-god of Egypt. Similarly, Pharaoh is not a proper name but a title assumed by Egyptian rulers at the time of Moses. Hâmân هَامَانَ is a caretaker charged with construction work. At the time in question, the cult of Amon was dominant in Egypt; his high priest Ha-Amon or Hâmân held a rank second only to that of the king—similar to the role of popes in the Middle Ages. The point is strengthened by the fact that Pharaoh demanded that Hâmânهَامَانَ erect for him a lofty tower from which he could have a look at the God of Moses (28:38; 40:36) which may be an allusion to the function of the high priest as his chief architect. The name of this high priest was Nebunnef, who held this position under Ramses II and his son Menfatiah (or Merneftah). This Hâmân is not to be confused with the Persian “Haman” of the Old Testament (Esther 3.1).
