Esther 3:5-7
Legacy Standard Bible
5 Then Haman saw that (A)Mordecai was not bowing down or prostrating himself before him. So Haman was filled with wrath. 6 But he despised in his eyes to send forth his hand against Mordecai alone, for they had told him who the people of Mordecai were; therefore Haman (B)sought to destroy all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus.
7 In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, [a]Pur, that is the lot, was (C)cast before Haman from day to day and from month to month, [b]until the twelfth month, that is (D)the month Adar.
