Esther 8:2-10

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

3And EstherH635 spokeH1696 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 which he had devised against the JewsH3064.

4And the kingH4428 held out the golden sceptre toward EstherH635. And EstherH635 aroseH6965 and stoodH5975 before the kingH4428,

5and saidH559, If it please the kingH4428 and if I have foundH4672 graceH2580 before him, and the thingH1697 seem right to the kingH4428, and I be pleasing in his sight, 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's provincesH4082.

6For howH349 shall I endure to seeH7200 the evilH7451 that shall befall my peopleH5971? and howH349 shall I endure to seeH7200 the destruction of my kindredH4138?

7And kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 saidH559 to queenH4436 EstherH635 and to MordecaiH4782 the JewH3064, Behold, I have givenH5414 EstherH635 the houseH1004 of HamanH2001, and him they have hangedH8518 upon the gallowsH6086, because he stretchedH7971 forthH7971 his handH3027 against the JewsH3064.

8WriteH3789 ye then for the JewsH3064 as seems goodH2896 to you, in the king's nameH8034, and sealH2856 [it] with the king's ringH2885. For a writingH3789 that is writtenH3789 in the king's nameH8034, and sealedH2856 with the king's ringH2885, cannot be reversed.

9Then were the king's scribesH5608 calledH7121 at that timeH6256, in the thirdH7992 monthH2320, that is, the monthH2320 Sivan, on the threeH7969 and twentieth [day] thereof; and it was writtenH3789 according to all that MordecaiH4782 commandedH6680, to the JewsH3064, and to the satrapsH323, and the governorsH6346, and the princesH8269 of the provincesH4082 which are from IndiaH1912 even to Ethiopia, a hundredH3967 and twenty-seven provincesH4082, to every provinceH4082 according to the writingH3789 thereof, and to every peopleH5971 according to 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's ringH2885, and sentH7971 lettersH5612 by couriersH7323 on horseback ridingH7392 on coursers, horsesH5483 of blood reared in the breeding studs:
