RF EST 8:1 Haman's House Given to Esther.
On the same day King Khushrush gave to Queen Esther the house of Haman, the Jew-hater, and Mordecai was brought before the King, for Esther had informed him what he was to her,
RF EST 8:2 and the King took off his ring,—that which he had recovered from Haman,—and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
RF EST 8:3 Esther Begs the Life of Her People.
Then Esther again spoke to the King, and fell at his feet, and wept, and besought him to redress the wickedness of Haman, the Agagite, and the conspiracy he had contrived against the Jews.
RF EST 8:4 And the King extended the Golden Sceptre. So Esther arose and stood before the King,
RF EST 8:5 and said, "If it is good to the King, and if I have found favour before him, and it is acceptable before the King, and I am pleasing in his eyes,—let it be written to reverse the letters that Haman-ben-Hammadatha the Agagite contrived, when he wrote to exterminate the Jews, who are in all the Provinces of the King.
RF EST 8:6 For how can I bear to see the misery that will find my People? And how can I endure to look on the destruction of my relatives?"
RF EST 8:7 King Khushrush, however, replied to Esther the Queen, and to Mordecai the Jew, "You see I have given the Palace of Haman to Esther, and they have hung him upon the Gallows, because he stretched out his hand against the Jews.—
RF EST 8:8 But you must write to the Jews, as seems best in your opinion, in the name of the King, and you can seal with the Royal Seal,—for a letter that has been written in the Royal Name, and sealed with the Royal Seal, is not able to be re versed!"
RF EST 8:9 The Imperial Order to the Jews to Defend Themselves.
They consequently summoned the Royal Secretaries for the purpose in haste, on the twenty-third day of the month Sivan,—the third month,—who wrote as they were instructed by Mordecai the Jew, to the Viceroys, and Governors, and Generals of the Provinces, which were from Houd to Cush, a hundred and twenty-seven Provinces, Province by Province, according to the writing of the People, and according to the language of the People, and to the Jews in their Alphabet and Language.
RF EST 8:10 They wrote in the name of the King Khushrush, and sealed it with the Royal Seal, and sent the letters by the Posts on horseback, on Race horses, bred in the royal stud,
RF EST 8:11 by which the King granted to the Jews who were in every town to collect and stand for their lives, and to destroy, to kill, and exterminate all forces of the people or province who assailed them, to infant, and wife, and to plunder their property,
RF EST 8:12 on the same day in all the Provinces of King Khushrush, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month,—which is the month of Adar.
RF EST 8:13 A copy of this letter was also published as a decree in every Province and Government, openly, to all the Peoples, that the Jews might be ready against that day to defend themselves from their enemies.
RF EST 8:14 The Posts therefore went out mounted on race-horses from the studs, hurried and impelled by command of the King. The Decree was also published at the Palace of Shushan.
RF EST 8:15 Mordecai made Prime Minister of Persia.
Then Mordecai left the presence if the King completely clothed in Royal Robes of blue and white, and a great wreath of gold, and a shawl of muslin and purple; and the City of Shushan shouted and rejoiced.
RF EST 8:16 And the Jews had light and delight, and joy, and honour.
RF EST 8:17 And all over, Province by Province, and in every City, and Village where the Royal Message and Decree arrived, the Jews were glad and rejoiced, with festivity, and a good day, and many from among the population of the country became Jews, for a terror of the Jews fell upon them.
