The King Acts to Protect the Jews

NETBible

The king’s scribes were quickly¹ summoned – in the third month (that is, the month of Sivan), on the twenty-third day.² They wrote out³ everything that Mordecai instructed to the Jews and to the satraps and the governors and the officials of the provinces all the way from India to Ethiopia⁴ – a hundred and twenty-seven provinces in all – to each province in its own script and to each people in their own language, and to the Jews according to their own script and their own language.
