Esther 1:20-22

And when the edict of HaMelech which he shall make shall be published throughout all his Malkhut (realm) — for it is great — all the nashim (women, wives) shall give to their be'alim (husbands) yekar (honor, respect), both to gadol and katan. And the proposal was good in the eyes of HaMelech and the sarim (nobles); and HaMelech did according to the devar Memukhan; For he sent sefarim into all the provinces of HaMelech, into every province according to the script thereof, and to every people after their leshon, that every ish should bear rule in his own bais, and speak in the leshon of his own people.
