Greek Esther 8:1-3

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Royal Favor Shown the Jews

8 On that very day King Artaxerxes granted to Esther all the property of the adversary Haman. Mordecai was summoned by the king, for Esther had told the king^[a] that he was related to her.^{(A) 2} The king took his ring, which he had taken back from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai, and Esther set Mordecai over everything that had been Haman’s.^(B)

³ Then she spoke once again to the king, and, falling at his feet, she asked him to avert all the evil that Haman had planned against the Jews.^(C)
