Esther 8:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ Now, in the name of the king, you write what seems good to you concerning the Jewish people, and seal it with the king’s signet ring, for a document written in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s signet ring cannot be revoked.”

⁹ The king’s scribes were summoned at that time, on the twenty-third day of the third month, which is the month Sivan, and everything that Mordecai commanded the Jewish people, the regional authorities,^[a] the governors, and the provincial officials of the 127 provinces from India to Cush^[b] was written down for each province according to its script, for each people according to their language, and for the Jewish people according to their script and language. ¹⁰ He wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed it with the king’s signet ring. He sent the letters by couriers on horseback, riding steeds especially bred for the king.^[c]
