16And the other JewsH3064 that were in the king's provincesH4082 gathered themselves together, and stoodH5975 for their lifeH5315, and had restH7605 from their enemiesH341; and they slewH2026 of them that hatedH8130 them seventy-fiveH7657 thousandH505 (but they laid not their handH3027 on the prey),

17on the thirteenth dayH3117 of the monthH2320 AdarH143; and on the fourteenth of the same they restedH5117, and madeH6213 it a dayH3117 of feastingH4960 and joyH8057.

18But the JewsH3064 that were at Shushan gathered themselves togetherH6950 on the thirteenth [dayH3117] thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth of the same they restedH5117, and madeH6213 it a dayH3117 of feastingH4960 and joyH8057.
