Esther 3:10-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁰ The king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the man opposing the Jews. ¹¹ The king said to Haman, “The silver will be given to you,^[a] as well as the people. Do with them whatever seems good to you.”

¹² In the first month, on the thirteenth day, the king’s scribes were summoned. A decree based on everything Haman commanded was written to the king’s satraps,^[b] to the governors over each province, and to the officials of every people. The decree was sent to each province in its own writing system and to each people in its own language. It was written in the name of King Xerxes and sealed with the king’s signet ring.
