²⁰ And let the king’s decree that he will make be proclaimed in all his kingdom, because it is vast and all the women will honor their husbands, great and small.”^[a]

²¹ This advice pleased the king^[b] and the officials, and the king acted according to the word of Memucan. ²² And he sent letters to all the provinces of the king, to each province according to its own script, and to every people in their own language,^[c] that every man should be the master of his house and who speaks in the language^[d] of his people.
