I ... hereby issue orders <07761 02942 04481> [I make a decree. Chal. by me a decree is made. the king's.]

Esther 8:8-10
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rescinded 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.
king's <04428> [the king's.]
satraps <0323> [and to the lieutenants.]
India <01912> [India.]
The Hebrew word {Hoddo,} in Syriac, {Hendoo,} and in Arabic, {Hind,} is rendered India by all the versions. India, or Hindostan, is a large country of the south of Asia, extending from north to south about 2,400 miles, and from east to west 1,800, between 8 degrees and 35 degrees N. lat. and 68 degrees and 92 degrees E. long.; being bounded on the west by the Indus, east by the Birman empire and Thibet, north by the Indian Caucasus, and south by the Indian Ocean. It is probable, however, that all the country east of the Indus was anciently called India.

{Rechesh,} in Syriac, {rechesha,} probably denotes a swift horse.

{Achashteranim,} from the Persian {akhash,} large, and {aster,} a mule, probably, as Bochart supposes, denotes a large mule.
<07424 01121> [young dromedaries.]
{Beney harammachim,} "the sons of mares," as the word {ramakat} denotes in Arabic; probably an expletive of the preceeding word.
Esther 9:20-21

That is, as the words imply, the history contained in this book; and not merely the letters afterwards mentioned, as some understand it.

provinces <04082> [in all the provinces.]
Daniel 6:8
