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.
