Esther 3:12-15

ECB(i) 12 Then they call the scribes of the sovereign on the thirteenth of the first month; and they inscribe according to all that Haman misvahed to the satraps of the sovereign and to the governors over jurisdiction by jurisdiction; and to the governors of people by people of jurisdiction by jurisdiction; according to the inscribings thereof; and to people by people after their tongue; inscribed in the name of sovereign Achash Rosh and sealed with the signet of the sovereign. 13 And they send scrolls by the hand of runners into all the jurisdictions of the sovereign - to desolate, to slaughter and to destroy all Yah Hudiym - from lad to old man, toddlers and women, in one day, upon the thirteenth of the twelfth month - the month Adar and spoil their plunder; 14 the transcript of the inscribings for an edict to be given jurisdiction by jurisdiction is exposed to all people to be ready against that day. 15 The runners go, hastened by the word of the sovereign and the edict is given in Shushan palace. And the sovereign and Haman sit to drink; and the city Shushan is perplexed.
