Then the king&#8217;s scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and an edict, according to all that Haman commanded, was written to the king&#8217;s satraps and to the governors over all the provinces and to the officials of all the peoples, to every province in its own script and every people in its own language. It was written in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with the king&#8217;s signet ring.
