menu_book Verse in Context

11 The king said to Haman, “Keep the silver, and treat the nation as you will.”

12 So the king’s recorders were called in the first month, on the thirteenth day, and they wrote as Haman commanded to the captains and governors in every province, from India even to Ethiopia, to one hundred twenty-seven provinces; and to the rulers of the nations according to their languages, in the name of King Ahasuerus.

13 The message was sent by couriers throughout the kingdom of Ahasuerus, to utterly destroy the race of the Jews on the first day of the twelfth month, which is Adar, and to plunder their goods.

14 Copies of the letters were published in every province; and an order was given to all the nations to be ready for that day.

15 This business was hastened also in Susa. The king and Haman began to drink, but the city was confused.
