Esther 8:12-14

Tree of Life Version

¹² The day appointed for this in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus was the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar. ¹³ A copy of the written edict was distributed to every province and made known to the peoples of every nationality so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

¹⁴ The couriers that rode royal horses raced out, pressed on by the king’s command. The decree was also given out at the palace at Shushan.
