Usage: Vayzatha is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to one of the ten sons of Haman, the antagonist in the Book of Esther. The name itself does not have a specific meaning in Hebrew, as it is of Persian origin.

Cultural and Historical Background: Vayzatha is mentioned in the context of the Persian Empire during the reign of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I). Haman, Vayzatha's father, was a high-ranking official who plotted to annihilate the Jewish people. The account unfolds in the Book of Esther, which is set in the Persian capital of Susa. The narrative highlights the providence of God in protecting His people through Esther and Mordecai. The downfall of Haman and his sons, including Vayzatha, is celebrated during the Jewish festival of Purim.
