Greek Esther 8:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁷ The king said to Esther, ‘Now that I^[a] have granted all of Haman’s property to you and have hanged him on a tree because he acted against the Jews, what else do you request? ⁸ Write in my name what you think best and seal it with my ring; for whatever is written at the king’s command and sealed with my ring cannot be contravened.’

⁹ The secretaries were summoned on the twenty-third day of the first month, that is, Nisan, in the same year; and all that he commanded with respect to the Jews was given in writing to the administrators and governors of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, to each province in its own language.
