´õ 3:1 After these events, King Xerxes honored Haman son of Hammedatha,
the Agagite, elevating him and giving him a sea t of honor higher than
that of all the other nobles.
´õ 3:2 All the royal officials at the king's gate knelt down and paid
honor to Haman, for the king had commanded this c oncerning him. But Mordecai
would not kneel down or pay him honor.
´õ 3:3 Then the royal officials at the king's gate asked Mordecai,
"Why do you disobey the king's command?"
´õ 3:4 Day after day they spoke to him but he refused to comply. Therefore
they told Haman about it to see whether Mord ecai's behavior would be tolerated,
for he had told them he was a Jew.
´õ 3:5 When Haman saw that Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him
honor, he was enraged.
´õ 3:6 Yet having learned who Mordecai's people were, he scorned the
idea of killing only Mordecai. Instead Haman looke d for a way to destroy
all Mordecai's people, the Jews, throughout the whole kingdom of Xerxes.

´õ 3:7 In the twelfth year of King Xerxes, in the first month, the
month of Nisan, they cast the pur (that is, the lot) in the presence of
Haman to select a day and month. And the lot fell on the twelfth month,
the month of Adar.
´õ 3:8 Then Haman said to King Xerxes, "There is a certain people dispersed
and scattered among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom whose
customs are different from those of all other people and who do not obey
the king's laws; it is not in the king's best interest to tolerate them.
´õ 3:9 If it pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy them,
and I will put ten thousand talents of silver in to the royal treasury
for the men who carry out this business."
´õ 3:10 So the king took his signet ring from his finger and gave it
to Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.
´õ 3:11 "Keep the money," the king said to Haman, "and do with the
people as you please."

´õ 3:12 Then on the thirteenth day of the first month the royal secretaries
were summoned. They wrote out in the script of each province and in the
language of each people all Haman's orders to the king's satraps, the governors
of the vari ous provinces and the nobles of the various peoples. These
were written in the name of King Xerxes himself and sealed wi th his own
ring.
´õ 3:13 Dispatches were sent by couriers to all the king's provinces
with the order to destroy, kill and annihilate all the Jews--young and
old, women and little children--on a single day, the thirteenth day of
the twelfth month, the month of Adar, and to plunder their goods.
´õ 3:14 A copy of the text of the edict was to be issued as law in
every province and made known to the people of every nationality so they
would be ready for that day.
´õ 3:15 Spurred on by the king's command, the couriers went out, and
the edict was issued in the citadel of Susa. The k ing and Haman sat down
to drink, but the city of Susa was bewildered. |
