On that day
did
the king
Ahasuerus
give
the house
of Haman
the Jews'
enemy
unto Esther
the queen
.
And Mordecai
came
before
the king
;
for Esther
had told
what
he
was
unto her.
2
And the king
took off
his ring
,
which
he had taken
from Haman
,
and gave
it unto
Mordecai
.
And Esther
set
Mordecai
over
the house
of Haman
.
3
And Esther
spake
yet again
before
the king
,
and fell down
at
his feet
,
and besought
him with tears
to put away
the mischief
of Haman
the Agagite
,
and his device
that he had devised
against
the Jews
.
4
Then
the king
held out
the golden
sceptre
toward Esther
.
So Esther
arose
,
and stood
before
the king
,
5
And said
,
If
it please
the king
,
and
if
I have found
favour
in his sight
,
and
the thing
seem
right
before
the king
,
and
I
be
pleasing
in his eyes
,
let it be written
to reverse
the letters
devised
by Haman
the son
of Hammedatha
the Agagite
,
which
he wrote
to destroy
the Jews
which
are
in
all
the king
's
provinces
:
6
For how
can I endure
to see
the evil
that shall come
unto
my people
? or how
can I endure
to see
the destruction of my kindred?
7
Then the king
Ahasuerus
said
unto
Esther
the queen
and to Mordecai
the Jew
,
Behold
, I have given
Esther
the house
of Haman
,
and him they have hanged
upon the gallows
,
because he laid
his hand
upon the Jews.
8
Write
ye also for the Jews
,
as it liketh
you
,
in the king's
name
,
and seal
it
with the king's
ring
:
for the writing
which
is written
in the king's
name
,
and seal
ed
with the king's
ring
,
may no man reverse
.
9
Then were the king's
scribes
called
at that time
in the third
month
, that
is
, the
month
Sivan
, on the three
and twentieth
day
thereof; and it was written
according to all that Mordecai
commanded
unto the Jews
,
and to the lieutenants
,
and the deputies
and rulers
of the
provinces
which
are
from India
unto Ethiopia
, an hundred twenty
and seven
provinces
,
unto every province
according to the writing thereof, and unto every
people
after
their language
,
and to the Jews
according to their writing,
and according to their language
.
10
And he wrote
in the king
Ahasuerus'
name
,
and sealed
it
with the king's
ring
,
and sent
letters
by
posts
on horseback
,
and
riders
on mules
, camels,
and
young
dromedaries
:
11
Wherein the king
granted
the Jews
which
were
in every
city
to gather themselves together
,
and to stand
for their life
,
to destroy
,
to slay
,
and to cause to perish
, all the power
of the people
and province
that would assault
them,
both
little ones
and women
,
and
to take
the spoil
of them for a prey
,
12
Upon one
day
in
all
the provinces
of king
Ahasuerus
,
namely
, upon the thirteenth
day
of the twelfth
month
,
which
is
the
month
Adar
.
13
The copy
of the writing
for a commandment
to be given
in every
province
was
published
un
to all
people
, and that the Jews should be ready
against that day
to avenge
themselves on their enemies.
14
So
the posts
that rode
upon mules
and
camels
went out
,
being hastened
and pressed on
by the king's
commandment
.
And the decree
was given
at Shushan
the palace
.
15
And Mordecai
went out
from the presence
of the king
in royal
apparel
of blue
and white
,
and with a great
crown
of gold
,
and with a garment
of fine linen
and purple
:
and the city
of Shushan
rejoiced
and was glad.
16
The Jews
had light
,
and gladness
,
and joy
,
and honour
.
17
And in every
province
,
and in every
city
,
whithersoever
the king's
commandment
and his decree
came
,
the Jews
had joy
and gladness
,
a feast
and a good
day.
And many
of the people
of the land
be
came
Jews
;
for the fear
of
the Jews
fell
upon them.
