Esther 3:9-11
EasyEnglish Bible

9 If you agree, we should send out a command to destroy them. Then I will give 350 tons of silver to the king, so that your officers can do this work.’[a]

10 The king took his special ring from his finger and he gave it to Hammedatha's son, Haman, the Jews' great enemy.[b] 11 He said to Haman, ‘Keep your money. You should do anything that you want with these people.’

  2. 3:10 Any law with the mark of the king's special ring on it had the king's authority. When the king gave his special ring to Haman, he was giving Haman his royal authority.
