11 that the king gave to the Jews who were in every city and city, to gather together and to stand for their soul, to destroy, and to kill, and to exterminate all of the strength of the people and province that would assault them, little children and women, and to plunder their spoil, 12 on a single day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the three and tenth day of the two and tenth month, it is, the month of Adar. 13 A copy of the writing, to be given as law in every province and province, was revealed to all the peoples, and for the Jews to be ready for this day to avenge themselves from their enemies. 14 The runners, riding the royal steeds, went forth, being hurried and driven by the word of the king, and the law was given in Susa the citadel. 15 And Mordecai went forth from before the face of the king in a garment of royalty of blue and white, and a great crown of gold, and a robe of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced. 16 For the Jews there was light and joy and gladness and honor. 17 And in every province and province, and in every city and city, the place to which the word of the king and his law reached, there was joy and gladness for the Jews, a feast and a good day, and many from the people of the land were making themselves Jews, for the fear of the Jews had fallen upon them.
