Esther 3:8-9
8Then HamanH2001 informedH559 KingH4428 XerxesH325, “ThereH3426 is a certainH259 peopleH5971 scatteredH6340 and dispersedH6504 amongH996 the peoplesH5971 of everyH3605 provinceH4082 of your kingdomH4438. Their lawsH1881 are differentH8138 from everyoneH3605 else’sH5971, and they do notH369 obeyH6213 the king’sH4428 lawsH1881. So it is notH369 in the king’sH4428 best interestH7737 to tolerate themH5117. 9IfH518 it pleasesH2896 the kingH4428, let a decree be issuedH3789 to destroy themH6, and I will depositH935 tenH6235 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH37011 intoH413 the royalH4428 treasuryH1595 to payH8254H5921H3027 those who carry it outH6213H4399.”
