11 [Con intimación] de que el rey concedía á los Judíos que estaban en todas las ciudades, que se juntasen y estuviesen [á la defensa] de su vida, [prontos] á destruir, y matar, y acabar con todo ejército de pueblo ó provincia que viniese contra ellos, [aun] niños y mujeres, y su despojo para presa,
12 En un mismo día en todas las provincias del rey Assuero, en el trece del mes duodécimo, que es el mes de Adar.
13 La copia de la escritura que había de darse por ordenanza en cada provincia, para que fuese manifiesta á todos los pueblos, [decía] que los Judíos estuviesen apercibidos para aquel día, para vengarse de sus enemigos.
14 Los correos pues, cabalgando en dromedarios [y] en mulos, salieron apresurados y constreñidos por el mandamiento del rey: y la ley fué dada en Susán capital del reino.
15 Y salió Mardochêo de delante del rey con vestido real de cárdeno y blanco, y una gran corona de oro, y un manto de lino y púrpura: y la ciudad de Susán se alegró y regocijó.
