Standard)  View In My Bible 10 The king removed his signet ringa
from his finger and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha the
Agagite, the enemy of the Jewish people. 11 Then the king told
Haman, "The money and people are given to you to do with as you
see fit." 12 The royal scribes were summonedb on the thirteenth
day of the first month, and the order was written exactly as
Haman commanded. [It was intended for] the royal satraps, the
governors of each of the provinces, and the officials of each
ethnic group and written for each province in its own script and
to each ethnic group in its own language. It was written in the
name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with the royal signet ring. 13
Letters were sent by couriers to each of the royal provinces
[telling the officials] to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the
Jewish people-young and old, women and children-and plunder
their possessionsc on a single day, the thirteenth day of Adar,
the twelfth month.
