* Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together , and to stand for their life , to destroy , to slay , and to cause to perish , all the power of the people and province that would assault them , both little ones and women , and to take the spoil of them for a prey , * Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus , namely , upon the thirteenth shalowsh # day of the twelfth sh @nayim # month , which is the month Adar . * The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people , and that the Jews should be ready # against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies . * So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out , being hastened and pressed on by the kings commandment . And the decree was given at Shushan the palace . * And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white , and with a great crown of gold , and with a garment of fine linen and purple : and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad . * The Jews had light , and gladness , and joy , and honour . * And in every province , and in every city , whithersoever the kings commandment and his decree came , the Jews had joy and gladness , a feast and a good day . And many of the people of the land became Jews ; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them .
