    5She said, 'If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and if the matter seems right to the king, and if I am pleasing in his eyes, let a decree be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews in all the king’s provinces.'

    7The king, filled with wrath, got up from the wine banquet and went out to the palace garden. But Haman stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he saw that the king had already decided his doom.

    8When the king returned from the palace garden to the house of the wine banquet, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was. The king exclaimed, "Will he even assault the queen in my own house?" As the words left the king’s mouth, Haman’s face was covered.

    9Then Harbona, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said, "Look! The gallows that Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke up for the king’s benefit, is standing at Haman’s house, fifty cubits tall." The king said, "Hang him on it!"

    6But he considered it beneath him to attack Mordecai alone, for they had told him about Mordecai’s people. So Haman sought to destroy all the Jews throughout the kingdom of Ahasuerus, the people of Mordecai.

    7In the first month, the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur (that is, the lot) before Haman for each day and each month, until the twelfth month, the month of Adar.

    8Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, "There is a certain people scattered and separated among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom. Their laws differ from those of every other people, and they do not obey the king’s laws. Therefore, it is not beneficial for the king to tolerate them.

    9If it pleases the king, let a decree be written to destroy them, and I will weigh out ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those who carry out the work, to be deposited in the king’s treasuries."

    10So the king removed his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.

    11The king said to Haman, "The silver is given to you, as well as the people, to do with them as it seems good to you."

    12On the thirteenth day of the first month, the king’s scribes were summoned and an edict was written according to all that Haman commanded. It was addressed to the satraps of the king, to the governors of each province, and to the officials of every people, to each province in its script and to each people in its language. It was written in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with the king’s signet ring.
