And the
king commanded it so to be
done: and the
decree was
given at
Shushan; and they

For the
Jews that were in
Shushan gathered themselves
together on the

month Adar, and
slew three hundred men at
Shushan; but on the
prey they
laid not their
hand.

But the

king's provinces gathered themselves
together, and
stood for their
lives, and had
rest from their

slew of their
foes seventy and

On the

But the

Therefore the

good day, and of
sending portions one to
another.
