Esther 8:10-14
10And he wroteH3789 in the nameH8034 of kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, and sealedH2856 it with the king’sH4428 ringH2885, and sentH7971 lettersH5612 by posts on horsebackH5483, ridingH7392 on swiftH7409 steedsH7409 that were used in the king’sH4428 serviceH3027, bred of the studH7424:
11whereinH834 the kingH4428 grantedH5414 the JewsH3064 whichH834 were in everyH3605 cityH5892 to gatherH6950 themselvesH5315 togetherH5921, and to standH5975 for their lifeH5315, to destroyH8045, to slayH2026, and to causeH5414 to perishH6, allH3605 the power of the peopleH5971 and provinceH4082 that would assault them, their littleH2945 onesH2945 and womenH802, and to takeH962 the spoilH7998 of them for a preyH962,
12upon one dayH3117 in allH3605 the provincesH4082 of kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, namely, upon the thirteenth dayH3117 of the twelfth monthH2320, whichH1931 is the monthH2320 AdarH143.
13A copyH6572 of the writingH3791, that the decreeH1881 should be givenH5414 outH3605 in everyH3605 provinceH4082, was publishedH1540 unto allH3605 the peoplesH5971, and that the JewsH3064 should be ready againstH3605 that dayH3117 to avengeH5358 themselves on their enemiesH341.
14SoH5414 the posts that rodeH7392 upon swiftH7409 steedsH7409 that were usedH5414 in the king’sH4428 service wentH3318 outH3318, being hastenedH1765 and pressed on by the king’sH4428 commandmentH1697; and the decreeH1881 was givenH5414 outH3318 in Shushan the palace.
