6At the citadelH1002 in SusaH7800 the JewsH3064 killedH2026 and eliminatedH6 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 menH376, 7and they killedH2026 ParshandathaH6577, DalphonH1813, AspathaH630, 8PorathaH6334, AdaliaH118, AridathaH743, 9ParmashtaH6534, ArisaiH747, AridaiH742, and VaizathaH2055, 101the tenH6235 sonsH1121 of HamanH2001 the sonH1121 of HammedathaH1992, the Jews’H3064 enemyH6887; but 2they did not layH7971 their handsH3027 on the plunderH961.

11On that dayH3117 the numberH4557 of those who were killedH2026 at the citadelH1002 in SusaH7800 3was reportedH935 to the kingH4428. 12And the kingH4428 saidH559 to QueenH4436 EstherH635, “The JewsH3064 have killedH2026 and eliminatedH6 fiveH2568 hundredH3967 menH376 and the tenH6235 sonsH1121 of HamanH2001 at the citadelH1002 in SusaH7800. WhatH4100 have they doneH6213 in the restH7605 of the king’sH4428 provincesH4082! 4Now whatH4100 is your requestH7596? It shall also be grantedH5414 you. And whatH4100 is your furtherH5750 wishH1246? It shall also be doneH6213.” 13Then EstherH635 saidH559, “IfH518 it pleasesH5921H2895 the kingH4428, 5let tomorrowH4279 alsoH1571 be grantedH5414 to the JewsH3064 whoH834 are in SusaH7800 to doH6213 according to the edictH1881 of todayH3117; and let Haman’sH2001 tenH6235 sonsH1121 be hangedH8518 on the woodenH6086 gallows.” 14So the kingH4428 commandedH559 that it was to be doneH6213 soH3651; and an edictH1881 was issuedH5414 in SusaH7800, and Haman’sH2001 tenH6235 sonsH1121 were hangedH8518.
