NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ The king took his ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of the Jews. ¹¹ The king said to Haman: »The money is yours, and the people, to do with them whatever seems right to you.« ¹² Then on the thirteenth day of the first month, the king's scribes were summoned. They put in writing Haman's orders to all the king's captains and the rulers of every division of his kingdom and the chiefs of every people. It was to be for every division of the kingdom in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in the language which was theirs. It was signed in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with the king's ring. ¹³ Runners delivered letters to every division of the kingdom. They ordered the death and destruction of all Jews, young and old, little children and women, on the same day, even the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar, and the taking of all their goods by force.
