⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, ^(A)“Take all the leaders of the people and hang the offenders before the Lord, out in the sun, ^(B)that the fierce anger of the Lord may turn away from Israel.”

^17 (A)So none of the accursed things shall remain in your hand, that the Lord may ^(B)turn from the fierceness of His anger and show you mercy, have compassion on you and ^[a]multiply you, just as He swore to your fathers,

³ Your eyes have seen what the Lord did at ^(A)Baal Peor; for the Lord your God has destroyed from among you all the men who followed Baal of Peor.

⁶ let seven men of his descendants be delivered ^(A)to us, and we will hang them before the Lord ^(B)in Gibeah of Saul, ^(C)whom the Lord chose.”

And the king said, “I will give them.”

^23 (A)his body shall not remain overnight on the tree, but you shall surely bury him that day, so that ^(B)you do not defile the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance; for ^(C)he who is hanged is accursed of God.

^11 (A)“Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the children of Israel, because he was zealous with My zeal among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in ^(B)My zeal.

⁹ Now ^(A)Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, “Look! ^(B)The ^[a]gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke ^(C)good on the king’s behalf, is standing at the house of Haman.”

Then the king said, “Hang him on it!”

¹⁰ So ^(D)they ^(E)hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath subsided.
