Esther (Greek) 8
8
37[13] Copies of this letter are to be put on public display everywhere in the kingdom, so that all the Jews will be prepared to fight their enemies on the thirteenth of Adar.
The Letters Are Sent Out
38[14] The king ordered his messengers to take their horses and deliver the letters as quickly as possible to every province, and he also had copies of the letter put on display in Susa.
39[15] Mordecai left the palace wearing one of the king's robes, as well as a strip of purple linen cloth around his turban, and a gold crown. The people of Susa started cheering when they saw him.
40[16] The Jews no longer felt doomed; instead, they were full of joy. 41[17] Copies of the letter were displayed in public in every city and province, and Jews all over the kingdom held parties to celebrate. Many Gentiles accepted the Jewish religion and were circumcised, because they were afraid of the Jews.
