Greek Esther 3:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ Then Haman said to King Artaxerxes, “A certain group of people exist in pockets among the other peoples throughout your kingdom. Their laws are different from those of everyone else, and they refuse to obey the king’s laws. It is against the king’s interests to put up with them any longer. ⁹ If the king wishes, perhaps a written order could be sent out that they should be destroyed, and I will contribute ten thousand big sacks^[a] of silver to the king’s treasury.”

¹⁰ The king removed his royal ring from his finger and handed it to Haman to put a seal on the orders he would write against the Jews.
