Esther 8:2-10

2And the kingH4428 took off his ringH2885, which he had taken from HamanH2001, and gaveH5414 it unto MordecaiH4782. And EstherH635 setH7760 MordecaiH4782 over the houseH1004 of HamanH2001.

3And EstherH635 spake yet again before the kingH4428, and fellH5307 downH5307 at his feetH7272, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of HamanH2001 the AgagiteH91, and his device that he had devised against the JewsH3064. 4Then the kingH4428 held out to EstherH635 the golden sceptre. So EstherH635 aroseH6965, and stoodH5975 before the kingH4428. 5And she saidH559, If it please the kingH4428, and if I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in his sight, and the thingH1697 seem right before the kingH4428, and I be pleasing in his eyesH5869, let it be writtenH3789 to reverse the lettersH5612 devised by HamanH2001, the sonH1121 of Hammedatha the AgagiteH91, which he wroteH3789 to destroyH6 the JewsH3064 that are in all the king’sH4428 provincesH4082: 6for howH349 can I endure to seeH7200 the evilH7451 that shall comeH4672 unto my peopleH5971? or howH349 can I endure to seeH7200 the destruction of my kindredH4138? 7Then the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 saidH559 unto EstherH635 the queenH4436 and to MordecaiH4782 the JewH3064, Behold, I have givenH5414 EstherH635 the houseH1004 of HamanH2001, and him they have hangedH8518 upon the gallowsH6086, because he laid his handH3027 upon the JewsH3064. 8WriteH3789 ye also to the JewsH3064, as it pleaseth you, in the king’sH4428 nameH8034, and sealH2856 it with the king’sH4428 ringH2885; for the writingH3789 which is writtenH3789 in the king’sH4428 nameH8034, and sealedH2856 with the king’sH4428 ringH2885, may no man reverse.

9Then were the king’sH4428 scribesH5608 calledH7121 at that timeH6256, in the thirdH7992 monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 Sivan, on the threeH7969 and twentiethday thereof; and it was writtenH3789 according to all that MordecaiH4782 commandedH6680 unto the JewsH3064, and to the satrapsH323, and the governorsH6346 and princesH8269 of the provincesH4082 which are from IndiaH1912 unto Ethiopia, a hundredH3967 twentyH6242 and sevenH7651 provincesH4082, unto every provinceH4082 according to the writingH3789 thereof, and unto every peopleH5971 after their languageH3956, and to the JewsH3064 according to their writingH3789, and according to their languageH3956. 10And he wroteH3789 in the nameH8034 of kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, and sealedH2856 it with the king’sH4428 ringH2885, and sentH7971 lettersH5612 by posts on horseback, ridingH7392 on swift steedsH7409 that were used in the king’sH4428 service, bred of the stud:
