10And he wroteH3789 in the kingH4428 Ahasuerus’H325 nameH8034, and sealedH2856 it with the king’sH4428 ringH2885, and sentH7971 lettersH5612 byH3027 postsH7323 on horsebackH5483, and ridersH7392 on mulesH7409, camelsH327, and youngH1121 dromedariesH7424:

11Wherein the kingH4428 grantedH5414 the JewsH3064 which were in every cityH5892 to gather themselves togetherH6950, and to standH5975 for their lifeH5315, to destroyH8045, to slayH2026, and to cause to perishH6, all the powerH2428 of the peopleH5971 and provinceH4082 that would assaultH6696 them, both little onesH2945 and womenH802, and to take the spoilH7998 of them for a preyH962,

12Upon oneH259 dayH3117 in all the provincesH4082 of kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, namely, upon the thirteenthH6240H7969 day of the twelfthH6240H8147 monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 AdarH143.

13The copyH6572 of the writingH3791 for a commandmentH1881 to be givenH5414 in every provinceH4082 was publishedH1540 unto all peopleH5971, and that the JewsH3064 should be readyH6259H6264 against that dayH3117 to avengeH5358 themselves on their enemiesH341.1

14So the postsH7323 that rodeH7392 upon mulesH7409 and camelsH327 went outH3318, being hastenedH926 and pressed onH1765 by the king’sH4428 commandmentH1697. And the decreeH1881 was givenH5414 at ShushanH7800 the palaceH1002.
