Esther 3:7-11

7In the firstH7223 monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 NisanH5212, in the twelfth yearH8141 of kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, they castH5307 PurH6332, that is, the lotH1486, before HamanH2001 from dayH3117 to dayH3117, and from monthH2320 to monthH2320, to the twelfth monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 AdarH143. 8And HamanH2001 saidH559 unto kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, There is a certain peopleH5971 scatteredH6340 abroad and dispersed among the peoplesH5971 in all the provincesH4082 of thy kingdomH4438; and their lawsH1881 are diverse from those of every peopleH5971; neither keep they the king’sH4428 lawsH1881: therefore it is not for the king’sH4428 profit to suffer them. 9If it please the kingH4428, let it be writtenH3789 that they be destroyedH6: and I will pay tenH6235 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 into the handsH3027 of those that have the charge of the king’sH4428 businessH4399, to bringH935 it into the king’sH4428 treasuriesH1595. 10And the kingH4428 took his ringH2885 from his handH3027, and gaveH5414 it unto HamanH2001 the sonH1121 of Hammedatha the AgagiteH91, the Jews’H3064 enemy. 11And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto HamanH2001, The silverH3701 is givenH5414 to thee, the peopleH5971 also, to do with them as it seemeth goodH2896 to thee.
