And she said, “If it please the king, ^(C)and if I have found favour in his sight, and if the thing seems right before the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let an order be written to revoke ^(D)the letters devised by Haman ^(E)the Agagite, the son of Hammedatha, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the provinces of the king.
