New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁵⁸ Now then, let us come to terms with these people, and make peace with them and with all their nation. ⁵⁹ Let us agree to let them live by their laws as they did before; for it was on account of their laws that we abolished that they became angry and did all these things.’

⁶⁰ The speech pleased the king and the commanders, and he sent to the Jews^[a] an offer of peace, and they accepted it.
