Esther 9:23

9:23 So the Jews committed themselves to continue what they had begun to do and to what Mordecai had written to them.

[5:10]  ¹ tn Heb “sent and brought.” The expression is probably a hendiadys (a figure of speech in which a single idea is expressed through two words or phrases), in which case the two verbs could be translated simply as “summoned” (so NAB) or “sent for” (NASB).
