Esther 3:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰ The king removed his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Hammedatha the Agagite’s son Haman, the enemy of the Jewish people. ¹¹ The king told Haman, “The silver is given to you, along with the people, to do with them as you see fit.”

¹² The king’s scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and all that Haman commanded was written to the regional authorities^[a] of the king, to the governors who were over each province, and to the officials of each people. This order^[b] was translated in the name of King Ahasuerus into the language of each province^[c] and bore the seal of the king’s signet ring.
