MLV(i)
6 But he disdained to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
7 In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day and from month to month, to the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
8 And Haman said to king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom and their laws are diverse from those of every people, nor do they keep the king's laws. Therefore it is not for the king's profit to endure them. 9 If it please the king, let it be written that they are destroyed. And I will pay ten thousand talants of silver into the hands of those who have the charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.
