Contextual Overview
3Then Esther spoke again to the king, fell at his feet, wept, and implored him to repeal the evil scheme of Haman the Agagite and his scheme which he had devised against the Jews. 4And the king extended the golden scepter to Esther. So Esther arose and stood before the king. 5Then she said, "If it seems good to the king, and if I have found favor before him and the matter seems proper to the king and I am good in his eyes, let it be written to turn back the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to cause the Jews who are in all the king's provinces to perish. 6For how can I endure to see the calamity which will befall my people, and how can I endure to see the perishing of my kinsmen?" 7So King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, "Behold, I have given the house of Haman to Esther, and him they have hanged on the gallows because he had sent forth his hand against the Jews. 8Now you write to the Jews, according to what is good in your eyes, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet ring; for a written decree which is written in the name of the king and sealed with the king's signet ring may not be turned back." 9So the king's scribes were called at that time in the third month (that is, the month Sivan), on the twenty-third day; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, the satraps, the governors, and the princes of the provinces which extended from India to Ethiopia, 127 provinces, to every province according to its script, and to every people according to their tongue as well as to the Jews according to their script and their tongue. 10And he wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed it with the king's signet ring and sent letters by the hand of couriers on horses, riding on steeds sired by the royal stud. 11In them the king gave the Jews who were in each and every city the right to assemble and to make a stand for their lives, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish the entire military force of any people or province which would act as their adversaries, including little ones and women, and to plunder their spoil, 12on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar).
