King James Version
And
in the twelfth month --
it
`
is '
the month of
Adar --
on the thirteenth day of it,
in
which
the word
of
the
king
, even
his law,
hath
come
to be done
, in the day that the enemies of the Jews had
hoped to rule
over them, and
it is
turned that the Jews rule over those
hating
them --
Now
in the twelfth month ,
that
is ,
the month Adar ,
on the thirteenth day of the same
, when
the
king's
commandment
and
his decree
drew
near
to be put
in
execution
, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have
power
over them, (though
it was
turned to
the
contrary,
that the Jews had
rule over them that
hated
them;)
the Jews have
been
assembled
in their cities ,
in
all provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to put
forth
a
hand on those
seeking
their evil,
and no man hath
stood
in
their
presence,
for their
fear hath
fallen
on
all the
peoples
.
The Jews gathered
themselves
together
in their cities throughout
all the
provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay
hand on such
as
sought
their hurt:
and no man could
withstand
them;
for the
fear of
them
fell
upon
all people
.
And all heads
of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the governors
, and those
doing
the
work
that
the king hath
, are
lifting
up
the Jews ,
for
a
fear of Mordecai hath
fallen
upon them ;
And all the
rulers
of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies
, and officers
of
the king, helped
the Jews ;
because
the
fear of Mordecai fell
upon them .
for great
`is'
Mordecai in the house of
the
king
, and his fame is
going
into
all the provinces ,
for the
man Mordecai is
going
on
and becoming
great
.
For Mordecai was
great
in the king's
house, and his fame went
out
throughout
all the provinces :
for this
man Mordecai waxed
greater
and greater
.
And
the Jews smite
among
all their enemies --
a
smiting
of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction --
and do
with
those hating
them according
to
their
pleasure,
Thus
the Jews smote
all their enemies with
the
stroke
of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction ,
and did
what
they
would
unto
those that
hated
them .
and in Shushan the palace have
the Jews slain
and destroyed five hundred men ;
And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew
and destroyed five hundred men .
and Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, adversary
of the Jews, they have
slain,
and
on the prey
they have
not put
forth
their hand.
The
ten sons of Haman the
son of Hammedatha, the
enemy
of the Jews, slew
they ;
but
on the spoil
laid
they not their hand.
On that day hath
come
the number of the
slain in Shushan the palace before the king ,
On that day the number of those
that
were
slain in Shushan the palace was
brought
before the king .
and the king saith
to
Esther the queen, `In
Shushan
the palace
have
the
Jews slain and destroyed five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman; in the rest of the provinces of
the
king
what
have
they
done
? and
what `
is '
thy petition? and it is
given
to
thee ;
and
what thy request again
? and it is
done. '
And the king said
unto
Esther the queen, The Jews have
slain and destroyed five hundred men in
Shushan
the
palace
, and the ten sons of Haman; what
have
they
done
in the rest of the king's
provinces? now
what is thy petition? and it shall
be
granted
thee :
or
what is
thy request further
? and it shall
be
done.
And
Esther saith
, `
If to
the king `it
be'
good
, let it be given
also
to-morrow,
to the Jews who
`
are '
in Shushan ,
to do according
to the
law
of
to-day;
and the
ten sons of
Haman
they
hang
on
the tree
. '
Then
said
Esther, If it
please
the king, let it be granted
to the Jews which
are in Shushan to do to morrow
also
according
unto
this
day's
decree,
and let
Haman's
ten sons be
hanged
upon
the gallows
.
And the king saith
--
`
to be done so;'
and a
law
is
given in
Shushan ,
and the
ten
sons
of
Haman
they have
hanged.
And the king commanded
it
so
to be done :
and the
decree
was
given at
Shushan ;
and they hanged Haman's
ten
sons
.
And
the Jews who
`are'
in Shushan are
assembled
also
on the fourteenth day of the month of
Adar, and they
slay
in
Shushan
three hundred men ,
and
on the prey they have
not put
forth
their hand.
For
the Jews that
were
in Shushan gathered
themselves
together
on the fourteenth day also
of the month Adar, and slew
three hundred men at
Shushan;
but
on the prey they laid
not their hand.
And
the
rest
of
the Jews ,
who
`are'
in the provinces of
the
king,
have
been
assembled
, even
to
stand
for their life
, and to
rest from their enemies, and to
slay
among
those
hating
them
five
and
seventy thousand, and
on
the
prey
they have
not put
forth
their hand;
But
the other
Jews that
were
in the king's
provinces gathered
themselves
together
, and
stood
for their lives
, and had
rest from their enemies, and slew
of
their
foes
seventy and
five
thousand, but
they laid
not their hands
on
the
prey,
on the thirteenth day of the month of
Adar ,
even
to
rest
on the fourteenth of it
, and to
make
it a day of banquet
and of
joy
.
On the thirteenth day of the month Adar ;
and
on the fourteenth day
of the
same
rested
they
, and made
it a day of feasting
and gladness
.
And
the Jews who
`are'
in
Shushan have
been
assembled ,
on the thirteenth day of
it
, and on the fourteenth of
it,
even
to
rest
on the fifteenth of it
, and to
make
it a day of banquet
and of
joy
.
But
the Jews that
were
at
Shushan assembled together
on the thirteenth day thereof
, and on the fourteenth thereof;
and
on the fifteenth day
of the
same
they
rested
, and made
it a day of feasting
and gladness
.
Therefore the Jews of the villages, who
are
dwelling
in cities
of
the villages
, are
making
the fourteenth day of the month of
Adar --
joy
and banquet
, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
Therefore the Jews of the villages, that
dwelt
in the unwalled
towns
, made
the fourteenth day of the month Adar a
day
of
gladness
and feasting
, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
And Mordecai writeth
these things, and sendeth
letters unto all the Jews who
`are'
in all provinces of the king Ahasuerus, who
are
near
and who
are
far off
,
And Mordecai wrote
these things, and sent
letters unto all the Jews that
were
in all the
provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both
nigh
and far,
to establish
on
them, to
be
keeping
the fourteenth day of the month of
Adar, and the fifteenth day of it
, in
every
year
and
year
,
To stablish
this
among
them, that
they
should
keep
the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the
same
, yearly
,
as days on
which
the Jews have
rested from their enemies, and the month that
hath
been
turned to
them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning to
a good day ,
to
make them days of banquet
and of
joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the needy
.
As the
days wherein
the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which
was
turned unto
them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into
a good day :
that
they
should
make them days of feasting
and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor
.
And the Jews have
received
that
which
they had begun to
do
, and that
which
Mordecai hath
written unto them ,
And the Jews undertook
to
do
as
they had begun, and as
Mordecai had
written unto them ;
because Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary
of all the Jews, had devised concerning
the Jews to destroy them, and had caused
to
fall
Pur --
that `
is '
the lot --
to crush
them and to destroy them;
Because Haman the
son of Hammedatha ,
the Agagite, the
enemy
of all the Jews, had devised against
the Jews to destroy them, and had cast
Pur ,
that is ,
the lot ,
to consume
them ,
and to destroy them;
and
in
her
coming
in
before the king, he said
with
the
letter,
`Let
his evil
device that
he devised against the Jews turn
back
upon his own head, '
and they
have
hanged
him
and his sons on the tree,
But
when
Esther
came
before the king, he commanded
by
letters
that
his wicked
device ,
which
he devised against the Jews ,
should
return
upon his own head, and that
he
and his sons should
be
hanged
on the gallows.
therefore
they have
called these days Purim --
by
the name of the
lot
--
therefore ,
because
of
all the words of this letter, and what
they have
seen concerning this, and what
hath
come unto them,
Wherefore
they called these days Purim after
the name of Pur.
Therefore for
all the words of this letter, and of
that
which
they had
seen concerning this matter
, and which
had
come unto them,
the Jews have
established
and received
upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all those
joined unto them, and
it doth
not pass
away
, to
be
keeping
these two days according to their writing, and according to their season,
in
every year and
year
;
The Jews ordained,
and took
upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such
as
joined themselves
unto them, so
as
it should
not fail
, that
they
would
keep
these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed
time
every year;
and these days are
remembered and kept in
every generation and
generation
, family
and
family, province
and
province, and city
and
city ,
and these days of Purim do
not pass
away
from the
midst
of
the Jews, and
their
memorial is
not
ended
from their seed.
And that
these days should
be
remembered and kept throughout
every generation, every
family, every
province, and every
city ;
and that
these days of Purim should
not fail
from among
the Jews, nor
the
memorial of
them
perish
from their seed.
And
Esther the queen, daughter of Abihail, writeth,
and Mordecai the Jew, with all might
, to establish
this second letter of Purim ,
Then
Esther the queen, the
daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote

twenty and a
hundred
provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus --
words of peace and truth --

the
letters unto all the Jews, to
the hundred
twenty and seven
provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus ,
with

, as Mordecai the Jew hath
established
on
them,
and Esther the queen, and as they had established
on
themselves ,
and on
their seed --
matters of the fastings ,
and of
their cry.
To confirm
these days of Purim in their times
appointed
, according
as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had
enjoined
them
, and as they had decreed
for
themselves and for
their seed ,
the
matters of the fastings and their cry.
And a
saying
of Esther hath
established
these matters of Purim ,
and it is
written in the Book.
And the
decree
of Esther confirmed
these matters of Purim ;
and it was
written in the book.
