On that
day King Ahasuerus gave the
house of
Haman, the
enemy of the
Jews, to
Queen Esther; and
Mordecai came before the
king, for
Esther had
disclosed what he was to her.

The
king took off his
signet ring which he had
taken away from
Haman, and
gave it to
Mordecai. And
Esther set Mordecai over the
house of
Haman.

Then
Esther spoke again to the
king,
fell at his
feet,
wept and
implored him to
avert the
evil scheme of
Haman the
Agagite and his
plot which he had
devised against the
Jews.

The
king extended the
golden scepter to
Esther. So
Esther arose and
stood before the
king.

Then she
said,
"If it
pleases * the
king and
if I have
found favor before him and the
matter seems
proper to the
king and I am
pleasing in his
sight, let it be
written to
revoke the
letters devised by
Haman, the
son of
Hammedatha the
Agagite,
which he
wrote to
destroy the
Jews who are in
all the
king's provinces.

"For
