Esther 3:6
3:6 But the thought of striking out against
Mordecai alone was repugnant to him, for he had been informed
of the identity of Mordecai’s people.
So Haman sought to destroy all the Jews (that is, the people of Mordecai)
who were in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
Esther 3:12-13
3:12 So the royal scribes were summoned in the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month. Everything Haman commanded was written to the king’s satraps and governors who were in every province and to the officials of every people, province by province according to its script and people by people according to its language. In the name of King Ahasuerus it was written and sealed with the king’s signet ring.
3:13 Letters were sent by the runners to all the king’s provinces stating that they should destroy, kill, and annihilate all the Jews, from youth to elderly, both women and children, on a particular day, namely the thirteenth day of the twelfth month (that is, the month of Adar), and to loot and plunder their possessions.
