Esther 3:9 in Context — Esther 3
7 Au premier mois, qui est le mois de Nisan, la douzième année du roi Assuérus, on jeta le pur, c’est-à-dire le sort, devant Haman, pour chaque jour et pour chaque mois, jusqu’au douzième mois, qui est le mois d’Adar.
8 Alors Haman dit au roi Assuérus: Il y a dans toutes les provinces de ton royaume un peuple dispersé et à part parmi les peuples, ayant des lois différentes de celles de tous les peuples et n’observant point les lois du roi. Il n’est pas dans l’intérêt du roi de le laisser en repos.
9 Si le roi le trouve bon, qu’on écrive l’ordre de les faire périr; et je pèserai dix mille talents d’argent entre les mains des fonctionnaires, pour qu’on les porte dans le trésor du roi.
10 Le roi ôta son anneau de la main, et le remit à Haman, fils d’Hammedatha, l’Agaguite, ennemi des Juifs.
11 Et le roi dit à Haman: L’argent t’est donné, et ce peuple aussi; fais-en ce que tu voudras.
