and she said, If it is good to the king, and if I have found favor before him, and the thing is pleasing before the king, and I am good in his eyes, let it be written to cause to bring back the documents (a sly plot by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite) which he wrote to cause to perish the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.
And the king’s scribes were called at that time, in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the twenty-third of it. And it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors, and the rulers of the provinces which were from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews; according to their writing and according to their language.
