8:1 On
that
day
hath
the
king
Ahasuerus
given
to
Esther
the
queen
the
house
of
Haman,
adversary
of
the
Jews,
and
Mordecai
hath
come
in
before
the
king,
for
Esther
hath
declared
what
he
[is]
to
her,
8:2 and
the
king
turneth
aside
his
signet,
that
he
hath
caused
to
pass
away
from
Haman,
and
giveth
it
to
Mordecai,
and
Esther
setteth
Mordecai
over
the
house
of
Haman.
8:3 And
Esther
addeth,
and
speaketh
before
the
king,
and
falleth
before
his
feet,
and
weepeth,
and
maketh
supplication
to
him,
to
cause
the
evil
of
Haman
the
Agagite
to
pass
away,
and
his
device
that
he
had
devised
against
the
Jews;
8:4 and
the
king
holdeth
out
to
Esther
the
golden
sceptre,
and
Esther
riseth,
and
standeth
before
the
king,
8:5 and
saith,
`If
to
the
king
[it
be]
good,
and
if
I
have
found
grace
before
him,
and
the
thing
hath
been
right
before
the
king,
and
I
[be]
good
in
his
eyes,
let
it
be
written
to
bring
back
the
letters--a
device
of
Haman
son
of
Hammedatha
the
Agagite--that
he
wrote
to
destroy
the
Jews
who
[are]
in
all
provinces
of
the
king,
8:6 for
how
do
I
endure
when
I
have
looked
on
the
evil
that
doth
find
my
people
and
how
do
I
endure
when
I
have
looked
on
the
destruction
of
my
kindred'
8:7 And
the
king
Ahasuerus
saith
to
Esther
the
queen,
and
to
Mordecai
the
Jew,
`Lo,
the
house
of
Haman
I
have
given
to
Esther,
and
him
they
have
hanged
on
the
tree,
because
that
he
put
forth
his
hand
on
the
Jews,
8:8 and
ye,
write
ye
for
the
Jews,
as
[it
is]
good
in
your
eyes,
in
the
name
of
the
king,
and
seal
with
the
signet
of
the
king--for
the
writing
that
is
written
in
the
name
of
the
king,
and
sealed
with
the
signet
of
the
king,
there
is
none
to
turn
back.'
8:9 And
the
scribes
of
the
king
are
called,
at
that
time,
in
the
third
month--it
[is]
the
month
of
Sivan--in
the
three
and
twentieth
of
it,
and
it
is
written,
according
to
all
that
Mordecai
hath
commanded,
unto
the
Jews,
and
unto
the
lieutenants,
and
the
governors,
and
the
heads
of
the
provinces,
that
[are]
from
Hodu
even
unto
Cush,
seven
and
twenty
and
a
hundred
provinces--province
and
province
according
to
its
writing,
and
people
and
people
according
to
its
tongue,
and
unto
the
Jews
according
to
their
writing,
and
according
to
their
tongue.
8:10 And
he
writeth
in
the
name
of
the
king
Ahasuerus,
and
sealeth
with
the
signet
of
the
king,
and
sendeth
letters
by
the
hand
of
the
runners
with
horses,
riders
of
the
dromedary,
the
mules,
the
young
mares,
8:11 that
the
king
hath
given
to
the
Jews
who
[are]
in
every
city
and
city,
to
be
assembled,
and
to
stand
for
their
life,
to
cut
off,
to
slay,
and
to
destroy
the
whole
force
of
the
people
and
province
who
are
distressing
them,
infants
and
women,
and
their
spoil
to
seize.
8:12 In
one
day,
in
all
the
provinces
of
the
king
Ahasuerus,
on
the
thirteenth
of
the
twelfth
month--it
[is]
the
month
of
Adar--
8:13 a
copy
of
the
writing
to
be
made
law
in
every
province
and
province
is
revealed
to
all
the
peoples,
and
for
the
Jews
being
ready
at
this
day
to
be
avenged
of
their
enemies.
8:14 The
runners,
riding
on
the
dromedary,
[and]
the
mules,
have
gone
out,
hastened
and
pressed
by
the
word
of
the
king,
and
the
law
hath
been
given
in
Shushan
the
palace.
8:15 And
Mordecai
went
out
from
before
the
king,
in
royal
clothing
of
blue
and
white,
and
a
great
crown
of
gold,
and
a
garment
of
fine
linen
and
purple,
and
the
city
of
Shushan
hath
rejoiced
and
been
glad;
8:16 to
the
Jews
hath
been
light,
and
gladness,
and
joy,
and
honour,
8:17 and
in
every
province
and
province,
and
in
every
city
and
city,
the
place
where
the
word
of
the
king,
even
his
law,
is
coming,
gladness
and
joy
[are]
to
the
Jews,
a
banquet,
and
a
good
day;
and
many
of
the
peoples
of
the
land
are
becoming
Jews,
for
a
fear
of
the
Jews
hath
fallen
upon
them.
