RF EST 3:1 Haman Made Prime Minister.
His Record. After these events King Khushrush promoted Haman-ben-Hammedatha, the Agagite, and ennobled him, and set his chair above all the Princes he had.
RF EST 3:2 So all the ministers of the King who were in the Royal Gate knelt and bowed to Haman, for the King commanded it. But Mordecai would not kneel or bow.
RF EST 3:3 Consequently the ministers of the King, who were at the Royal Gate, said to Mordecai, "Why do you disobey the King's order?"
RF EST 3:4 And they repeated this to him day by day, but he would not listen to them. So they informed Haman to ascertain if Mordecai could retain his position, for he had informed them he was a Jew.
RF EST 3:5 When Haman learned that Mordecai did not kneel or bow to him, Haman was filled with fury.
RF EST 3:6 But it was despicable in his eyes to lay hand on Mordecai alone,—for they had informed him of the race of Mordecai,—so Haman plotted to destroy the whole race of the Jews who were in the whole empire of Khushrush, along with Mordecai.
RF EST 3:7 Haman Conspires to Exterminate the Jews.
In the first month,—which is the month of Nisan,—in the twelfth year of King Khushrush, they threw the arrows (which are their lots,)—before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, until the twelfth, which is the month of Adar.—
RF EST 3:8 Then Haman said to King Khushrush, "There exists a single people dispersed and scattered amongst all the provinces of your Empire, with different customs from all the people, and they do not obey the Edicts of the King. Consequently it is no advantage to the King to protect them.
RF EST 3:9 If, therefore, the King approves of an edict to destroy them, I will pay ten thousand talents of silver for the hands of those who execute the business, and bring it to the King's treasury."
RF EST 3:10 So the King took his seal from off his finger and gave it to Haman-ben-Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.
RF EST 3:11 The King also said to Haman, "I will give the money to you. But as for that People,—do what you like with them!"
RF EST 3:12 A Proclamation to Destroy the Jews.
Then the Royal Trumpet was blown on the thirteenth day of the first month, and it was written, exactly as Haman ordered, to the Viceroys, and the Governors who were over Province and Province; and to the Generals of the Forces, and the Peoples in their own languages, it was written in the name of King Khushrush, and sealed with the Royal seal.
RF EST 3:13 Letters were also sent by means of the post to all the provinces of the King, "To destroy, to kill, and exterminate, the whole of the Jews, from youths to old men, with the infants and women in a single day,—in the thirteenth day of the twelfth month,"—which is the month of Adar,—"and to plunder their property.
RF EST 3:14 A copy of this letter to be published as a Decree in every Province, and the Provincial Authorities to distribute it to all the Peoples, for them to be prepared for that day."
RF EST 3:15 The Mails were sent out urgently as if by command of the King, and the Decree was published at the Palace of Shushan, while the King and Haman sat drinking. But the City of Shushan was thrown into confusion.
