Mara moja waandishi wa mfalme wakaitwa kwenye siku ya ishirini na tatu, mwezi wa tatu, ndio mwezi wa Siwani. Wakaandika yote Mordekai aliyoamuru kwa Wayahudi, kwa majemadari, watawala na wakuu wa majimbo 127 kuanzia Bara Hindi mpaka Kushi. Maagizo haya yaliandikwa kwa maandishi ya kila jimbo na kwa lugha ya kila mtu pia kwa Wayahudi kwa maandishi yao wenyewe na lugha yao.
Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
