Esther 9:1-10

1On the thirteenthH7969H6240 dayH3117 of the twelfthH8147H6240 monthH2320H1931, the monthH2320 of AdarH143,1 the king’sH4428 commandH1697 and edictH1881 were to be executedH6213. On this dayH3117 the enemiesH341 of the JewsH3064 had hopedH7663 to overpowerH7980 them, but their plan was overturnedH2015H1931H834 and the JewsH3064 overpoweredH7980 thoseH1992 who hated themH8130. 2In eachH3605 of the provincesH4082 of KingH4428 XerxesH325, the JewsH3064 assembledH6950 in their citiesH5892 to attackH7971H3027 those who soughtH1245 to harm themH7451. NoH3808 manH376 could withstandH5975 themH6440, becauseH3588 the fear of themH6343 had fallenH5307 uponH5921 allH3605 peoplesH5971.

3And allH3605 the officialsH8269 of the provincesH4082, the satrapsH323, the governorsH6346, and the king’sH4428 administratorsH6213H4399 helpedH5375 the JewsH3064, becauseH3588 the fearH6343 of MordecaiH4782 had fallenH5307 upon themH5921. 4ForH3588 MordecaiH4782 exercised greatH1419 power in the palaceH1004H4428, and his fameH8089 spreadH1980 throughoutH3605 the provincesH4082 asH3588H376 heH4782 becameH1980 more and more powerfulH1431.

5The JewsH3064 putH5221H4347 allH3605 their enemiesH341 to the swordH2719, killingH2027 and destroying themH12, and they didH6213 as they pleasedH7522 to those who hated themH8130. 6In the citadelH1002 of SusaH7800, the JewsH3064 killedH2026 and destroyedH6 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 menH376, 7including ParshandathaH6577, DalphonH1813, AspathaH630, 8PorathaH6334, AdaliaH118, AridathaH743, 9ParmashtaH6534, ArisaiH747, AridaiH742, and VaizathaH2055. 10They killedH2026 these tenH6235 sonsH1121 of HamanH2001 sonH1121 of HammedathaH4099, the enemyH6887 of the JewsH3064, but they did notH3808 layH7971 a handH3027 on the plunderH961.
