On that day [3117] did the king [4428] Ahasuerus [0325] give [5414] the house [1004] of Haman [2001] the Jews' [3064] enemy [6887] unto Esther [0635] the queen. [4436] And Mordecai [4782] came [0935] before [6440] the king; [4428] for Esther [0635] had told [5046] what he [was] unto her.

2

And the king [4428] took off [5493] his ring, [2885] which he had taken [5674] from Haman, [2001] and gave [5414] it unto Mordecai. [4782] And Esther [0635] set [7760] Mordecai [4782] over the house [1004] of Haman. [2001]

3

And Esther [0635] spake [1696] yet again [3254] before [6440] the king, [4428] and fell down [5307] at [6440] his feet, [7272] and besought [2603] him with tears [1058] to put away [5674] the mischief [7451] of Haman [2001] the Agagite, [0091] and his device [4284] that he had devised [2803] against the Jews. [3064]

4

Then the king [4428] held out [3447] the golden [2091] sceptre [8275] toward Esther. [0635] So Esther [0635] arose, [6965] and stood [5975] before [6440] the king, [4428]

5

And said, [0559] If it please [2896] the king, [4428] and if I have found [4672] favour [2580] in his sight, [6440] and the thing [1697] [seem] right [3787] before [6440] the king, [4428] and I [be] pleasing [2896] in his eyes, [5869] let it be written [3789] to reverse [7725] the letters [5612] devised [4284] by Haman [2001] the son [1121] of Hammedatha [4099] the Agagite, [0091] which he wrote [3789] to destroy [0006] the Jews [3064] which [are] in all the king's [4428] provinces: [4082]

6

For how [0349] can I endure [3201] to see [7200] the evil [7451] that shall come unto [4672] my people? [5971] or how [0349] can I endure [3201] to see [7200] the destruction [0013] of my kindred? [4138]

7

Then the king [4428] Ahasuerus [0325] said [0559] unto Esther [0635] the queen [4436] and to Mordecai [4782] the Jew, [3064] Behold, I have given [5414] Esther [0635] the house [1004] of Haman, [2001] and him they have hanged [8518] upon the gallows, [6086] because he laid [7971] his hand [3027] upon the Jews. [3064]

8

Write [3789] ye also for the Jews, [3064] as it liketh [2896] you, [5869] in the king's [4428] name, [8034] and seal [2856] [it] with the king's [4428] ring: [2885] for the writing [3791] which is written [3789] in the king's [4428] name, [8034] and sealed [2856] with the king's [4428] ring, [2885] may no man reverse. [7725]

9

Then were the king's [4428] scribes [5608] called [7121] at that time [6256] in the third [7992] month, [2320] that [is], the month [2320] Sivan, [5510] on the three [7969] and twentieth [6242] [day] thereof; and it was written [3789] according to all that Mordecai [4782] commanded [6680] unto the Jews, [3064] and to the lieutenants, [0323] and the deputies [6346] and rulers [8269] of the provinces [4082] which [are] from India [1912] unto Ethiopia, [3568] an hundred [3967] twenty [6242] and seven [7651] provinces, [4082] unto every province [4082] [4082] according to the writing [3791] thereof, and unto every people [5971] [5971] after their language, [3956] and to the Jews [3064] according to their writing, [3791] and according to their language. [3956]

10

And he wrote [3789] in the king [4428] Ahasuerus' [0325] name, [8034] and sealed [2856] [it] with the king's [4428] ring, [2885] and sent [7971] letters [5612] by [3027] posts [7323] on horseback, [5483] [and] riders [7392] on mules, [7409] camels, [0327] [and] young [1121] dromedaries: [7424]

11

Wherein the king [4428] granted [5414] the Jews [3064] which [were] in every city [5892] [5892] to gather themselves together, [6950] and to stand [5975] for their life, [5315] to destroy, [8045] to slay, [2026] and to cause to perish, [0006] all the power [2428] of the people [5971] and province [4082] that would assault [6696] them, [both] little ones [2945] and women, [0802] and [to take] the spoil [7998] of them for a prey, [0962]

12

Upon one [0259] day [3117] in all the provinces [4082] of king [4428] Ahasuerus, [0325] [namely], upon the thirteenth [7969] [6240] [day] of the twelfth [8147] [6240] month, [2320] which [is] the month [2320] Adar. [0143]

13

The copy [6572] of the writing [3791] for a commandment [1881] to be given [5414] in every province [4082] [4082] [was] published [1540] unto all people, [5971] and that the Jews [3064] should be ready [6264] [6259] against that day [3117] to avenge [5358] themselves on their enemies. [0341]

14

[So] the posts [7323] that rode [7392] upon mules [7409] [and] camels [0327] went out, [3318] being hastened [0926] and pressed on [1765] by the king's [4428] commandment. [1697] And the decree [1881] was given [5414] at Shushan [7800] the palace. [1002]

15

And Mordecai [4782] went out [3318] from the presence [6440] of the king [4428] in royal [4438] apparel [3830] of blue [8504] and white, [2353] and with a great [1419] crown [5850] of gold, [2091] and with a garment [8509] of fine linen [0948] and purple: [0713] and the city [5892] of Shushan [7800] rejoiced [6670] and was glad. [8056]

16

The Jews [3064] had light, [0219] and gladness, [8057] and joy, [8342] and honour. [3366]

17

And in every province, [4082] [4082] and in every city, [5892] [5892] whithersoever [4725] the king's [4428] commandment [1697] and his decree [1881] came, [5060] the Jews [3064] had joy [8057] and gladness, [8342] a feast [4960] and a good [2896] day. [3117] And many [7227] of the people [5971] of the land [0776] became Jews; [3054] for the fear [6343] of the Jews [3064] fell [5307] upon them.
