1 AFTER THE THINGS <THE> THESE HE MADE GREAT THE KING AHASUERUS <OBJ.> HAMAN [THE] SON OF HAMMEDATHA THE AGAGITE AND HE EXALTED HIM AND HE PLACED <OBJ.> SEAT HIS <FROM> ABOVE ALL THE OFFICIALS WHO [WERE] WITH HIM
Haman’s Plot against the Jews
1 After these events, King Xerxes honored Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, elevating him to a position above all the princes who were with him.
2 AND ALL [THE] SERVANTS OF THE KING WHO [WERE] AT [THE] GATE OF THE KING [WERE] KNEELING AND BOWING DOWN TO HAMAN FOR THUS HE HAD COMMANDED TO <THE> HIM THE KING AND MORDECAI NOT HE KNELT AND NOT HE BOWED DOWN
2 All the royal servants at the king’s gate bowed down and paid homage to Haman, because the king had commanded that this be done for him. But Mordecai would not bow down or pay homage.
3 AND THEY SAID [THE] SERVANTS OF THE KING WHO [WERE] AT [THE] GATE OF THE KING TO MORDECAI WHY? [ARE] YOU TRANSGRESSING <OBJ.> [THE] COMMANDMENT OF THE KING
3 Then the royal servants at the king’s gate asked Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the command of the king?”
4 AND IT WAS JUST AS SPOKE THEY TO HIM A DAY AND A DAY AND NOT HE LISTENED TO THEM AND THEY TOLD TO HAMAN TO SEE ¿ WILL THEY STAND [THE] WORDS OF MORDECAI THAT HE HAD TOLD TO <THE> THEM THAT HE [WAS] A JEW
4 Day after day they warned him, but he would not comply. So they reported it to Haman to see whether Mordecai’s behavior would be tolerated, since he had told them he was a Jew.
5 AND HE SAW HAMAN THAT NOT MORDECAI [WAS] KNEELING AND BOWING DOWN TO <THE> HIM AND HE WAS FILLED HAMAN RAGE
5 When Haman saw that Mordecai would not bow down or pay him homage he was filled with rage.
6 AND HE DESPISED IN VIEW HIS TO STRETCH OUT A HAND ON MORDECAI TO ONLY HIM IF PEOPLE HAD TOLD TO <THE> HIM <OBJ.> [THE] PEOPLE OF MORDECAI AND HE SOUGHT HAMAN TO ANNIHILATE <OBJ.> ALL THE JEWS WHO [WERE] IN ALL [THE] KINGDOM OF AHASUERUS [THE] PEOPLE OF MORDECAI
6 And when he learned the identity of Mordecai’s people, he scorned the notion of laying hands on Mordecai alone. Instead, he sought to destroy all of Mordecai’s people, the Jews, throughout the kingdom of Xerxes.
7 IN THE MONTH <THE> FIRST THAT [IS] [THE] MONTH OF NISAN IN YEAR TWO [PLUS] TEN OF THE KING AHASUERUS SOMEONE CAST PUR IT [IS] THE LOT <TO> BEFORE HAMAN FROM DAY TO DAY AND FROM MONTH TO MONTH AND IT FELL THE LOT ON THREE [PLUS] TEN DAY OF MONTH TWO [PLUS] TEN THAT [IS] [THE] MONTH OF ADAR
7 In the twelfth year of King Xerxes, in the first month, the month of Nisan, the Pur (that is, the lot) was cast before Haman to determine a day and month. And the lot fell on the twelfth month, the month of Adar.
8 AND HE SAID HAMAN TO THE KING AHASUERUS THERE IT [IS] A PEOPLE ONE SCATTERED AND SEPARATED AMONG THE PEOPLES IN ALL [THE] PROVINCES OF KINGDOM YOUR AND LAWS THEIR [ARE] DIFFERING FROM EVERY PEOPLE AND <OBJ.> [THE] LAWS OF THE KING NOT THEY [ARE] DOING AND FOR THE KING NOT [IS] APPROPRIATE TO LET REMAIN THEM
8 Then Haman informed King Xerxes, “There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the peoples of every province of your kingdom. Their laws are different from everyone else’s, and they do not obey the king’s laws. So it is not in the king’s best interest to tolerate them.
9 IF [IS] ON THE KING GOOD LET IT BE WRITTEN TO DESTROY THEM AND TEN THOUSAND<S> TALENT[S] OF SILVER I WILL WEIGH OUT ON [THE] HANDS OF [THE] DOERS OF THE WORK TO BRING [IT] INTO [THE] TREASURIES OF THE KING
9 If it pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy them, and I will deposit ten thousand talents of silver into the royal treasury to pay those who carry it out
10 AND HE REMOVED THE KING <OBJ.> SIGNET-RING HIS FROM ON HAND HIS AND HE GAVE IT TO HAMAN [THE] SON OF HAMMEDATHA THE AGAGITE [THE] OPPOSER OF THE JEWS
10 So the king removed the signet ring from his finger and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.
11 AND HE SAID THE KING TO HAMAN THE SILVER [IS] GIVEN TO <THE> YOU AND THE PEOPLE TO DO WITH <THE> IT ACCORDING TO THE GOOD IN VIEW YOUR
11 “Keep your money,” said the king to Haman. “These people are given to you to do with them as you please
12 AND THEY WERE SUMMONED [THE] SCRIBES OF THE KING IN THE MONTH <THE> FIRST ON THIR- TEENTH DAY IN <THE> IT AND IT WAS WRITTEN ACCORDING TO ALL THAT HE COMMANDED HAMAN TO [THE] SATRAPS OF THE KING AND TO THE GOVERNORS WHO [WERE] OVER PROVINCE AND PROVINCE AND TO [THE] OFFICIALS OF PEOPLE AND PEOPLE PROVINCE AND PROVINCE ACCORDING TO WRITING ITS AND PEOPLE AND PEOPLE ACCORDING TO LANGUAGE ITS IN [THE] NAME OF THE KING AHASUERUS [IT WAS] WRITTEN AND [IT WAS] SEALED WITH [THE] SIGNET-RING OF THE KING
12 On the thirteenth day of the first month, the royal scribes were summoned and the order was written exactly as Haman commanded the royal satraps, the governors of each province and the officials of each people in the script of each province and the language of every people. It was written in the name of King Xerxes and sealed with the royal signet ring.
13 AND THEY WERE SENT DOCUMENTS BY [THE] HAND OF THE RUNNERS TO ALL [THE] PROVINCES OF THE KING TO ANNIHILATE TO KILL AND TO DESTROY <OBJ.> ALL THE JEWS FROM YOUNG MAN AND UNTO OLD [MAN] LITTLE ONE[S] AND WOMEN ON A DAY ONE ON [DAY] THIR- TEEN OF MONTH TWO [PLUS] TEN THAT [IS] [THE] MONTH OF ADAR AND SPOIL THEIR TO TAKE AS PLUNDER
13 And the letters were sent by couriers to each of the royal provinces with the order to destroy, kill, and annihilate all the Jews— young and old, women and children— and to plunder their possessions on a single day, the thirteenth day of Adar, the twelfth month
14 <THE> COPY OF THE WRITING [WAS] TO BE GIVEN LAW IN EVERY PROVINCE AND PROVINCE [WAS] DISCLOSED TO ALL THE PEOPLES TO BE READY FOR THE DAY <THE> THIS
14 A copy of the text of the edict was to be issued in every province and published to all the people, so that they would be ready on that day.
15 THE RUNNERS THEY WENT OUT BEING HASTY AT [THE] WORD OF THE KING AND THE LAW IT WAS GIVEN IN SUSA THE CITADEL AND THE KING AND HAMAN THEY SAT DOWN TO DRINK AND THE CITY OF SUSA IT WAS IN CONFUSION
15 The couriers left, spurred on by the king’s command, and the edict was issued in the citadel of Susa. Then the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was in confusion.
