Esther 8:13

8:13 A copy of the edict was to be presented as law throughout each and every province and made known to all peoples, so that the Jews might be prepared on that ¹  day to avenge themselves from their enemies.

Esther 9:16

[8:13]  ¹ tn Heb “this” (so NASB); most English versions read “that” here for stylistic reasons.

[9:16]  ² tc For this number much of the Greek MS tradition reads “fifteen thousand.” The Lucianic Greek recension reads “70,100.”
