Esther 8:12-14

New American Standard Bible

¹² on ^(A)one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar). ^13 (B)A copy of the edict to be ^[a]issued as law in each and every province was published to all the peoples, so that the Jews would be ready for this day to avenge themselves on their enemies. ¹⁴ The couriers, hurrying and speeded by the king’s command, left, riding on the royal relay horses; and the decree was issued at the citadel in Susa.
