Ezra 8:36 Then they delivered5414 the king's4428 edicts1881 to the king's4428 satraps323 and to the governors6346in the provinces beyond5676 the River5104, and they supported5375 the people5971a and the house1004 of God430.
Esth 1:8 The drinking8360 was done according to the law1881, there369 was no369 compulsion597, for so3651 the king4428 had given3245 orders3245 to each3605 official7227b of his household1004 that he should do6213a according to the desires7522 of each376 person376.
Esth 1:13 ¶ Then the king4428 said559 to the wise2450 men2450 who understood3045 the times6256--for it was the custom1697 of the king4428 so3651to speak before6440 all3605 who knew3045 law1881 and justice1779
Esth 1:15 "According to law1881, what4100 is to be done6213a with Queen4436 Vashti2060, because5921,834 she did not obey6213a the command3982 of King4428 Ahasuerus325delivered by the eunuchs5631?"
Esth 1:19 "If518 it pleases2895 the king4428, let a royal4438 edict1697 be issued3318 by him and let it be written3789 in the laws1881 of Persia6539 and Media4074 so that it cannot3808 be repealed5674a, that Vashti2060 may no3808 longer come935 into the presence6440 of King4428 Ahasuerus325, and let the king4428 give5414 her royal4438 position4438 to another7468 who is more4480 worthy2896a than4480 she.
Esth 2:8 ¶ So it came1961 about when the command1697 and decree1881 of the king4428 were heard8085 and many7227a young5291 ladies5291 were gathered6908 to the citadel1002 of Susa7800 into the custody3027 of Hegai1896a, that Esther635 was taken3947 to the king's4428 palace1004 into the custody3027 of Hegai1896a, who was in charge8104 of the women802.
Esth 2:12 ¶ Now when the turn8447 of each5291 young5291 lady5291 came5060 to go935 in to King4428 Ahasuerus325, after4480 the end7093 of her twelve8147,6240 months2320 under the regulations1881 for the women802--for the days3117 of their beautification4795 were completed4390 as follows3651: six8337a months2320 with oil8081 of myrrh4753 and six8337a months2320 with spices1314 and the cosmetics8562 for women802--
Esth 3:8 Then Haman2001b said559 to King4428 Ahasuerus325, "There3426 is a certain259 people5971a scattered6340 and dispersed6504 among996 the peoples5971a in all3605 the provinces4082 of your kingdom4438; their laws1881 are different8132 from those of all3605other people5971a and they do not observe6213a the king's4428 laws1881, so it is not in the king's4428 interest7737a to let them remain5117.
Esth 3:14 A copy6572 of the edict3791 to be issued5414 as law1881 in every3605 province4082 was published1540 to all3605 the peoples5971a so that they should be ready6264 for this2088 day3117.
Esth 3:15 The couriers7323 went3318 out impelled1765 by the king's4428 command1697 while the decree1881 was issued5414 at the citadel1002 in Susa7800; and while the king4428 and Haman2001b sat3427 down3427 to drink8354, the city5892b of Susa7800 was in confusion943.
Esth 4:3 In each4082 and every3605 province4082 where4725,834 the command1697 and decree1881 of the king4428 came5060, there was great1419 mourning60 among the Jews3064, with fasting6685, weeping1065 and wailing4553; and many7227a lay3331 on sackcloth8242 and ashes665.
Esth 4:8 He also gave5414 him a copy6572 of the text3791 of the edict1881 which834 had been issued5414 in Susa7800 for their destruction8045, that he might show7200 Esther635 and inform5046 her, and to order6680 her to go935 in to the king4428 to implore2603a his favor2603a and to plead1245 with him for her people5971a.
Esth 4:11 "All3605 the king's4428 servants5650 and the people5971a of the king's4428 provinces4082 know3045 that for any3605 man376 or woman802 who834 comes935 to the king4428 to the inner6442 court2691a who834 is not summoned7121, he has but one259 law1881, that he be put4191 to death4191, unless905,4480,834 the king4428 holds3447 out to him the golden2091 scepter8275 so that he may live2421a. And I have not been summoned7121 to come935 to the king4428 for these2088 thirty7970 days3117."
Esth 4:16 "Go1980, assemble3664 all3605 the Jews3064 who are found4672 in Susa7800, and fast6684 for me; do not eat398 or drink8354 for three7969 days3117, night3915 or day3117. I and my maidens5291 also1571 will fast6684 in the same3651 way3651. And thus3651 I will go935 in to the king4428, which834 is not according to the law1881; and if834 I perish6, I perish6."
Esth 8:13 A copy6572 of the edict3791 to be issued5414 as law1881 in each4082 and every3605 province4082 was published1540 to all3605 the peoples5971a, so that the Jews3064 would be ready6264 for this2088 day3117 to avenge5358 themselves on their enemies340.
Esth 8:14 The couriers7323, hastened926 and impelled1765 by the king's4428 command1697, went3318 out, riding7392 on the royal327 steeds7409; and the decree1881 was given5414 out at the citadel1002 in Susa7800.
Esth 8:17 In each4082 and every3605 province4082 and in each5892b and every3605 city5892b, wherever4725,834 the king's4428 commandment1697 and his decree1881 arrived5060, there was gladness8057 and joy8342 for the Jews3064, a feast4960 and a holiday2896a,3117. And many7227a among4480 the peoples5971a of the land776 became3054 Jews3054, for the dread6343 of the Jews3064 had fallen5307 on them.
Esth 9:1 Now in the twelfth8147,6240 month2320 (that is, the month2320 Adar143), on the thirteenth7969,6240 day3117 when834 the king's4428 command1697 and edict1881 were about to be executed6213a, on the day3117 when834 the enemies340 of the Jews3064 hoped7663b to gain7980 the mastery7980 over7980 them, it was turned2015 to the contrary so that the Jews3064 themselves1992a gained7980 the mastery7980 over7980 those who hated8130 them.
Esth 9:13 Then said559 Esther635, "If518 it pleases5921,2895 the king4428, let tomorrow4279 also1571 be granted5414 to the Jews3064 who834 are in Susa7800 to do6213a according to the edict1881 of today3117; and let Haman's2001b ten6235 sons1121 be hanged8518 on the gallows6086."
Esth 9:14 So the king4428 commanded559 that it should be done6213a so3651; and an edict1881 was issued5414 in Susa7800, and Haman's2001b ten6235 sons1121 were hanged8518.
