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.

And the king
took off

which he had taken
from Haman,
and gave
it unto Mordecai.
And Esther

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.

Then the king
held out
the golden
sceptre
toward Esther.
So Esther
arose,
and stood
before
the king,
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:
say

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?
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.

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 sealed
with the king's
ring,
may no man reverse.
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.

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:
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

that would assault
them, both little ones

Upon one
day
in all the provinces
of king
Ahasuerus,
namely, upon the thirteenth
day of the twelfth
month,
which is the month
Adar.

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.
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.

The Jews
had light,
and gladness,
and joy,
and honour.
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
became Jews;
for the fear
of the Jews
fell
upon them.
