Esther 8:6-8

Easy-to-Read Version

⁶ I am begging the king because I could not bear to see these terrible things happen to my people. I could not bear to see my family killed.”

⁷ King Xerxes answered Queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, “Because Haman was against the Jews, I have given his property to Esther. And my soldiers have hanged him on the hanging post. ⁸ Now write another command by the authority of the king. Write it to help the Jews in a way that seems best to you. Then seal the order with the king’s special ring. No official letter written by the authority of the king and sealed with the king’s ring can be canceled.”
