Esther 3:13 in Context — Esther 3
11 Et le roi dit à Haman: L’argent t’est donné, et ce peuple aussi; fais-en ce que tu voudras.
12 Les secrétaires du roi furent appelés le treizième jour du premier mois, et l’on écrivit, suivant tout ce qui fut ordonné par Haman, aux satrapes du roi, aux gouverneurs de chaque province et aux chefs de chaque peuple, à chaque province selon son écriture et à chaque peuple selon sa langue. Ce fut au nom du roi Assuérus que l’on écrivit, et on scella avec l’anneau du roi.
13 Les lettres furent envoyées par les courriers dans toutes les provinces du roi, pour qu’on détruisît, qu’on tuât et qu’on fît périr tous les Juifs, jeunes et vieux, petits enfants et femmes, en un seul jour, le treizième du douzième mois, qui est le mois d’Adar, et pour que leurs biens fussent livrés au pillage.
14 Ces lettres renfermaient une copie de l’édit qui devait être publié dans chaque province, et invitaient tous les peuples à se tenir prêts pour ce jour-là.
15 Les courriers partirent en toute hâte, d’après l’ordre du roi. L’édit fut aussi publié dans Suse, la capitale; et tandis que le roi et Haman étaient à boire, la ville de Suse était dans la consternation.
