Then Esther H635 spoke H1696 again H3254 [fn]to the king H4428, fell H5307 at his feet H7272, wept H1058, and pleaded H2603 for H2603 his compassion H2603 to avert H5674 the evil H7451 scheme of Haman H2001 the Agagite H91 and his plot H4284 which H834 he had devised H2803 against H5921 the Jews H3064.
So the king’s H4428 scribes H5608 were summoned H7121 at that time H6256 in the third H7992 month H2320 (that is, the month H2320 Sivan H5510), on the twenty-third H6242 H7969 [fn]day; and it was written H3789 in accordance with everything H3605 that Mordecai H4782 commanded H6680 the Jews H3064, the satraps H323, the governors H6346, and the officials H8269 of the provinces H4082 which H834 extended from India H1912 to [fn]Cush H3568, 127 H7651 H6242 H3967 provinces H4082, to every H4082 province H4082 according to its script H3791, and to every H5971 people H5971 according to their language H3956, as well as to the Jews H3064 according to their script H3791 and their language H3956.
Then Mordecai H4782 went H3318 out H3318 from the presence H6440 of the king H4428 in a royal H4438 robe H3830 of violet H8504 and white H2353, with a large H1419 crown H5850 of gold H2091 and a garment H8509 of fine H948 linen H948 and purple H713; and the city H5892 of Susa H7800 shouted H6670 and rejoiced H8055.
