Esther 8:11-13

Legacy Standard Bible

^11 [a]In them the king gave the Jews who were in each and every city the right ^(A)to assemble and to make a stand for their lives, ^(B)to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish the entire military force of any people or province which would act as their adversaries, including little ones and women, and ^(C)to plunder their spoil, ¹² on ^(D)one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar). ^13 (E)A copy of that which was written down to be given as law in each and every province was revealed to all the peoples, so that the Jews would be ready for this day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
