Esther 8:7-8
given <05414> [Behold.]
hanged <08518> [him they have hanged.]
king's name ................ king's ........... king's name ...... king's <04428 08034> [in the king's name.]
rescinded <07725> [may no man reverse.]
No, not the king himself; and this was the reason that the king was forced not to reverse, but to give a contradictory decree; that if the Jews, pursuant to the first decree, were assaulted, they might legitimately, by virtue of the second, defend themselves, slay their enemies, and even take the spoil.
