Esther (Greek) 8
8
37 “Post copies of this decree in plain view in every province, so that all the Jews can be ready to fight their enemies when that day comes.”
38 Messengers on horses rode off at top speed to carry out the orders of the king, and the decree was also made public in Susa.
39 Mordecai left the palace, wearing royal robes, a turban of fine purple linen, and a gold crown. When the people of Susa saw him, they cheered, 40 and the Jews were happy and joyful. 41 They held a joyful holiday with feasting and happiness in every city and province, wherever the king's proclamation was posted. In fact, many Gentiles were circumcised and became Jews, because they were now afraid of them.
