Esther 8:12 In-Context

10 Ipsaeque epistolae, quae regis nomine mittebantur, annulo ipsius obsignatae sunt, et missae per veredarios: qui per omnes provincias discurrentes, veteres litteras novis nunciis praevenirent.
11 Quibus imperavit rex, ut convenirent Iudaeos per singulas civitates, et in unum praeciperent congregari ut starent pro animabus suis, et omnes inimicos suos cum coniugibus ac liberis et universis domibus, interficerent atque delerent, et spolia eorum diriperent.
12 Et constituta per omnes provincias una ultionis dies, id tertiadecima mensis duodecimi Adar.
13 Summaque epistolae haec fuit, ut in omnibus terris ac populis, qui regis Assueri subiacebant imperio, notum fieret, paratos esse Iudaeos ad capiendam vindictam de hostibus suis.
14 Egressique sunt veredarii celeres nuncia perferentes, et edictum regis pependit in Susan.
