Esther 8:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 Wherein the King granted the Jews (in what cities soever they were) to gather themselves together, and to stand for [a]their life, and to root out, to slay and to destroy all the power of the people and of the province that vexed them, both children and women, and to spoil their goods:
12 Upon one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, even in the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month [b]Adar.
13 The copy of the writing was, how there should be a commandment given in all and every province, published among all the people, and that the Jews should be ready against that day, to [c]avenge themselves on their enemies.
