Esther 8:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ King Ahasuerus told Queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, “Look, I’ve given Haman’s property^[a] to Esther, and they have hanged^[b] him on the pole because he tried to harm^[c] the Jewish people. ⁸ Now, in the name of the king, you write what seems good to you concerning the Jewish people, and seal it with the king’s signet ring, for a document written in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s signet ring cannot be revoked.”

⁹ The king’s scribes were summoned at that time, on the twenty-third day of the third month, which is the month Sivan, and everything that Mordecai commanded the Jewish people, the regional authorities,^[d] the governors, and the provincial officials of the 127 provinces from India to Cush^[e] was written down for each province according to its script, for each people according to their language, and for the Jewish people according to their script and language.
