*
And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone ;
for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai :
wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus ,
even the people of Mordecai .
*
In the first month ,
that is ,
the month Nisan ,
in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus ,
they cast Pur ,
that is ,
the lot ,
before Haman from day to day ,
and from month to month ,
to the twelfth month ,
that is ,
the month Adar .
*
And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus ,
There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom ;
and their laws are diverse from all people ;
neither keep they the king '
s laws :
therefore it is not for the king '
s profit to suffer them .
*
If it please the king ,
let it be written that they may be destroyed :
and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business ,
to bring it into the king '
s treasuries .
*
And the king took his ring from his hand ,
and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite ,
the Jews '
enemy .
