Greek Esther 8:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷ The king said to Esther, “Now that I^[a] have granted all of Haman’s property to you and have hung him on a pole because he laid hands on the Jews, what else do you request?^{(A) 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.”^(B)

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