RF EST 9:1 The Jews Destroy the Assailants.
So in the twelfth month,—that is the month of Adar,—on the twelfth day of it, when it approached to put the Royal Command and Decree into practice;—on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to dominate them;—it then turned about that the Jews dominated those who hated them!
RF EST 9:2 And the Jews collected in the towns, and in all the Provinces of King Khushrush, and assailed all who sought to injure them, and no man could resist them, for a terror had fallen on all the Peoples.
RF EST 9:3 And all the Generals of the Provinces, and the Viceroys, and Governors, and Executive Officers of the Royal affairs, assisted the Jews, for the terror of Mordecai had fallen upon them.
RF EST 9:4 For Mordecai was great in the Palace of the King, and his fame travelled to all the Provinces, for the man Mordecai advanced and was great.
RF EST 9:5 The Jews therefore struck with the edge of the sword all their enemies, and slew, and destroyed, and did to their enemies as they pleased.
RF EST 9:6 And in the Palace of Shushan the Jews killed five hundred persons,
RF EST 9:7 and Parshomdatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
RF EST 9:8 and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, and
RF EST 9:9 Parmashta, and Arisal, and Aridal, and Vaizatha,
RF EST 9:10 the ten sons of Haman-ben-Hamma-datha, the Jews' enemy, they killed, but did not lay hands on their property.
RF EST 9:11 On the same day the number of the slain at the Palace of Shushan was brought before the King, when
RF EST 9:12 the King said to Esther the Queen, "In the Palace of Shushan the Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred persons, and the ten sons of Haman;—What have they done in the rest of the Royal Provinces? Now what is your request?—and it shall be given to you!—And what is your petition further?—and it shall be done!"
RF EST 9:13 And Esther replied, "If it is the King's pleasure, grant that the Jews may do to-morrow what they have done to-day in Shushan,—and let them hang the ten sons of Haman on the Gallows!"
RF EST 9:14 And the King replied, "It shall be done." So a Decree was issued in Shushan, and the ten sons of Haman were hung up.
RF EST 9:15 The Jews also who were at Shushan collected on that day, and slew in Shushan three hundred persons, but laid not their hands upon their property.
RF EST 9:16 And the rest of the Jews who were in the Royal Provinces collected and stood for their lives, and for peace from their enemies, and killed seventy-five thousand of their haters, but did not seize their property,
RF EST 9:17 on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, but rested on the fourteenth, and made it a day of festivity and rejoicing.
RF EST 9:18 The Jews in Shushan, however, collected on the thirteenth and fourteenth of it, but rested on the fifteenth, and made that a day of festivity and pleasure.
RF EST 9:19 Consequently he scattered Jews who resided in the scattered villages make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a delight and festivity, and a good day, and send presents to their neighbors.
RF EST 9:20 The Feast of Purim Appointed to the Jews.
Mordecai afterwards recorded these events, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in the whole of the Dominions of King Khushrush, near or far,
RF EST 9:21 to ordain to them to celebrate the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and the fifteenth day of it, from year to year,
RF EST 9:22 as days upon which safety came to the Jews from their enemies, and as the month which was turned from agony to delight for them, and from despair to be a pleasant day, and to make them days of festivity and delight, and for sending presents everyone to his neighbour, and gifts to the poor.
RF EST 9:23 The Jews consequently undertook to continue it, as they had begun to do, and as Mordecai had written to them,
RF EST 9:24 for Haman-ben-Hammadatha, the Agagite, the oppressor of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to exterminate them, and he had thrown the arrow, (that was his lot), to defeat and exterminate them.
RF EST 9:25 However, when it came to be discovered, the King commanded by letters to turn the wicked plot, that he had contrived against the Jews, upon his own head, and they hung him and his sons on a Gallows.
RF EST 9:26 They consequently name those days, "Purim," 1 from the word for an Arrow. Therefore on the receipt of these letters, and an account of what they had experienced, and what had occurred to them,
RF EST 9:27 the Jews decreed and imposed upon themselves and on their descendants and all who joined them, that they would not emit to do year by year on these two days as the letters directed.
RF EST 9:28 And that those days should be remembered and practiced from generation to generation, in every family, province, and town, and that these days of Purim should not be omitted amongst the Jews, nor the memory of them cease from their race.
RF EST 9:29 Esther confirms the Feast of Purim.
Esther, the Queen, also, wrote with full authority to confirm the second Decree of Purim;
RF EST 9:30 and sent letters to all the Jews of the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the Empire of Khushrush, as messages of peace and security.
RF EST 9:31 And confirmed the fixed days of Purim as Mordecai and Queen Esther had appointed to them; and which they had taken upon the souls of themselves and their race, with acts of fasting and crying,—
RF EST 9:32 So the Command of Esther confirmed the affairs of the Purim, and it was recorded in this book.
