1. For in the twelfth month, on the thirteenth day of the month which is Adar, the letters written by the king arrived.
1. Now in the twelfth H8147 H6240 month H2320 , that H1931 is , the month H2320 Adar H143 , on the thirteenth H7969 H6240 day H3117 of the same, when H834 the king H4428 's commandment H1697 and his decree H1881 drew near H5060 to be put in execution H6213 , in the day H3117 that H834 the enemies H341 of the Jews H3064 hoped H7663 to have power H7980 over them, (though it H1931 was turned to the contrary H2015 , that H834 the Jews H3064 had rule over H7980 them H1992 that hated H8130 them;)
2. In that day the adversaries of the Jews perished: for no one resisted, through fear of them.
2. The Jews H3064 gathered themselves together H6950 in their cities H5892 throughout all H3605 the provinces H4082 of the king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 , to lay H7971 hand H3027 on such as sought H1245 their hurt H7451 : and no H3808 man H376 could withstand H5975 them; for H3588 the fear H6343 of them fell H5307 upon H5921 all H3605 people H5971 .
3. For the chiefs of the satraps, and the princes and the royal scribes, honoured the Jews; for the fear of Mardochaeus lay upon them.
3. And all H3605 the rulers H8269 of the provinces H4082 , and the lieutenants H323 , and the deputies H6346 , and officers H6213 H4399 of H834 the king H4428 , helped H5375 H853 the Jews H3064 ; because H3588 the fear H6343 of Mordecai H4782 fell H5307 upon H5921 them.
4. For the order of the king was in force, that he should be celebrated in all the kingdom.
4. For H3588 Mordecai H4782 was great H1419 in the king H4428 's house H1004 , and his fame H8089 went out H1980 throughout all H3605 the provinces H4082 : for H3588 this man H376 Mordecai H4782 waxed H1980 greater and greater H1419 .

11. and the number of them that perished in Susa was rendered to the king.
11. On that H1931 day H3117 the number H4557 of those that were slain H2026 in Shushan H7800 the palace H1002 was brought H935 before H6440 the king H4428 .
12. And the king said to Esther, The Jews have slain five hundred men in the city Susa; and how, thinkest thou, have they used them in the rest of the country? What then dost thou yet ask, that it may be done for thee?
12. And the king H4428 said H559 unto Esther H635 the queen H4436 , The Jews H3064 have slain H2026 and destroyed H6 five H2568 hundred H3967 men H376 in Shushan H7800 the palace H1002 , and the ten H6235 sons H1121 of Haman H2001 ; what H4100 have they done H6213 in the rest H7605 of the king H4428 's provinces H4082 ? now what H4100 is thy petition H7596 ? and it shall be granted H5414 thee : or what H4100 is thy request H1246 further H5750 ? and it shall be done H6213 .
13. And Esther said to the king, let it be granted to the Jews so to treat them tomorrow as to hang the ten sons of Aman.
13. Then said H559 Esther H635 , If H518 it please H2895 H5921 the king H4428 , let it be granted H5414 to the Jews H3064 which H834 are in Shushan H7800 to do H6213 tomorrow H4279 also H1571 according unto this day H3117 's decree H1881 , and let Haman H2001 's ten H6235 sons H1121 be hanged H8518 upon H5921 the gallows H6086 .
14. And he permitted it to be so done; and he gave up to the Jews of the city the bodies of the sons of Aman to hang.
14. And the king H4428 commanded H559 it so H3651 to be done H6213 : and the decree H1881 was given H5414 at Shushan H7800 ; and they hanged H8518 Haman H2001 's ten H6235 sons H1121 .
15. And the Jews assembled in Susa on the fourteenth day of Adar, and slew three hundred men, but plundered no property.
15. For the Jews H3064 that H834 were in Shushan H7800 gathered themselves together H6950 on the fourteenth H702 H6240 day H3117 also H1571 of the month H2320 Adar H143 , and slew H2026 three H7969 hundred H3967 men H376 at Shushan H7800 ; but on the prey H961 they laid H7971 not H3808 H853 their hand H3027 .
16. And the rest of the Jews who were in the kingdom assembled, and helped one another, and obtained rest from their enemies: for they destroyed fifteen thousand of them on the thirteenth day of Adar, but took no spoil.
16. But the other H7605 Jews H3064 that H834 were in the king H4428 's provinces H4082 gathered themselves together H6950 , and stood H5975 for H5921 their lives H5315 , and had rest H5117 from their enemies H4480 H341 , and slew H2026 of their foes H8130 seventy H7657 and five H2568 thousand H505 , but they laid H7971 not H3808 H853 their hands H3027 on the prey H961 ,
17. And they rested on the fourteenth of the same month, and kept it as a day of rest with joy and gladness.
17. On the thirteenth H7969 H6240 day H3117 of the month H2320 Adar H143 ; and on the fourteenth H702 H6240 day of the same rested H5117 they , and made H6213 it a day H3117 of feasting H4960 and gladness H8057 .
18. And the Jews in the city Susa assembled also on the fourteenth day and rested; and they kept also the fifteenth with joy and gladness.
18. But the Jews H3064 that H834 were at Shushan H7800 assembled together H6950 on the thirteenth H7969 H6240 day thereof , and on the fourteenth H702 H6240 thereof ; and on the fifteenth H2568 H6240 day of the same they rested H5117 , and made H6213 it a day H3117 of feasting H4960 and gladness H8057 .
19. On this account then it is that the Jews dispersed in every foreign land keep the fourteenth of Adar as a Gr. good day holy day with joy, sending portions each to his neighbour.
19. Therefore H5921 H3651 the Jews H3064 of the villages H6521 , that dwelt H3427 in the unwalled H6519 towns H5892 , made H6213 H853 the fourteenth H702 H6240 day H3117 of the month H2320 Adar H143 a day of gladness H8057 and feasting H4960 , and a good H2896 day H3117 , and of sending H4916 portions H4490 one H376 to another H7453 .
20. And Mardochaeus wrote these things in a book, and sent them to the Jews, as many as were in the kingdom of Artaxerxes, both them that were near and them that were afar off,
20. And Mordecai H4782 wrote H3789 H853 these H428 things H1697 , and sent H7971 letters H5612 unto H413 all H3605 the Jews H3064 that H834 were in all H3605 the provinces H4082 of the king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 , both nigh H7138 and far H7350 ,
21. to establish these as joyful days, and to keep the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar;
21. To establish H6965 this among H5921 them , that they should H1961 keep H6213 H853 the fourteenth H702 H6240 day H3117 of the month H2320 Adar H143 , and the fifteenth H2568 H6240 day H3117 of the same, yearly H3605 H8141 H8141 ,
22. for on these days the Jews obtained rest from their enemies; and as to the month, which was Adar, in which a change was made for them, from mourning to joy, and from sorrow to a good day, to spend the whole of it in good days of Gr. weddings feasting and gladness, sending portions to their friends, and to the poor.
22. As the days H3117 wherein H834 the Jews H3064 rested H5117 from their enemies H4480 H341 , and the month H2320 which H834 was turned H2015 unto them from sorrow H4480 H3015 to joy H8057 , and from mourning H4480 H60 into a good H2896 day H3117 : that they should make H6213 them days H3117 of feasting H4960 and joy H8057 , and of sending H4916 portions H4490 one H376 to another H7453 , and gifts H4979 to the poor H34 .
23. And the Jews consented to this accordingly as Mardochaeus wrote to them,
23. And the Jews H3064 undertook H6901 to do H6213 H853 as H834 they had begun H2490 , and as H834 Mordecai H4782 had written H3789 unto H413 them;
24. shewing how Aman the son of Amadathes the Macedonian fought against them, how he made a decree and cast Gr. lot lots to destroy them utterly;
24. Because H3588 Haman H2001 the son H1121 of Hammedatha H4099 , the Agagite H91 , the enemy H6887 of all H3605 the Jews H3064 , had devised H2803 against H5921 the Jews H3064 to destroy H6 them , and had cast H5307 Pur H6332 , that H1931 is , the lot H1486 , to consume H2000 them , and to destroy H6 them;
25. also how he went in to the king, telling him to hang Mardochaeus: but all the calamities he tried to bring upon the Jews came upon himself, and he was hanged, and his children.
25. But when Esther came H935 before H6440 the king H4428 , he commanded H559 by H5973 letters H5612 that his wicked H7451 device H4284 , which H834 he devised H2803 against H5921 the Jews H3064 , should return H7725 upon H5921 his own head H7218 , and that he and his sons H1121 should be hanged H8518 on H5921 the gallows H6086 .
26. Therefore these days were called Phrurae, because of the lots; (for in their language they are called Phrurae;) because of the words of this letter, and because of all they suffered on this account, and all that happened to them.
26. Wherefore H5921 H3651 they called H7121 these H428 days H3117 Purim H6332 after H5921 the name H8034 of Pur H6332 . Therefore H5921 H3651 for H5921 all H3605 the words H1697 of this H2063 letter H107 , and of that which H4100 they had seen H7200 concerning H5921 this matter H3602 , and which H4100 had come H5060 unto H413 them,
27. And Mardochaeus established it, and the Jews took upon themselves, and upon their seed, and upon those that were joined to them to observe it, neither would they on any account behave differently: but these days were to be a memorial kept in every generation, and city, and family, and province.
27. The Jews H3064 ordained H6965 , and took H6901 upon H5921 them , and upon H5921 their seed H2233 , and upon H5921 all H3605 such as joined themselves H3867 unto H5921 them , so as it should not H3808 fail H5674 , that they would keep H6213 H853 these H428 two H8147 days H3117 according to their writing H3791 , and according to their appointed H2165 every H3605 year H8141 H8141 ;
28. And these days of the Phrurae, said they, shall be kept for ever, and their memorial shall not fail in any generation.
28. And that these H428 days H3117 should be remembered H2142 and kept H6213 throughout every H3605 generation H1755 H1755 , every family H4940 H4940 , every province H4082 H4082 , and every city H5892 H5892 ; and that these H428 days H3117 of Purim H6332 should not H3808 fail H5674 from among H4480 H8432 the Jews H3064 , nor H3808 the memorial H2143 of them perish H5486 from their seed H4480 H2233 .
29. And queen Esther, the daughter of Aminadab, and Mardochaeus the Jew, wrote all that they had done, and the confirmation of the letter of Phrurae.
29. Then Esther H635 the queen H4436 , the daughter H1323 of Abihail H32 , and Mordecai H4782 the Jew H3064 , wrote H3789 with H854 all H3605 authority H8633 , to confirm H6965 H853 this H2063 second H8145 letter H107 of Purim H6332 .

30. And he sent H7971 the letters H5612 unto H413 all H3605 the Jews H3064 , to H413 the hundred H3967 twenty H6242 and seven H7651 provinces H4082 of the kingdom H4438 of Ahasuerus H325 , with words H1697 of peace H7965 and truth H571 ,
31. And Mardochaeus and Esther the queen appointed a fast for themselves privately, even at that time also having formed their plan against their own health.
31. To confirm H6965 H853 these H428 days H3117 of Purim H6332 in their times H2165 appointed , according as H834 Mordecai H4782 the Jew H3064 and Esther H635 the queen H4436 had enjoined H6965 H5921 them , and as H834 they had decreed H6965 for H5921 themselves H5315 and for H5921 their seed H2233 , the matters H1697 of the fastings H6685 and their cry H2201 .
32. And Esther established it by a command for ever, and it was written for a memorial.
32. And the decree H3982 of Esther H635 confirmed H6965 these H428 matters H1697 of Purim H6332 ; and it was written H3789 in the book H5612 .
