7 Et Haman répondit au roi: Pour un homme que le roi veut honorer,

8 il faut prendre le vêtement royal dont le roi se couvre et le cheval que le roi monte et sur la tête duquel se pose une couronne royale,

9 remettre le vêtement et le cheval à l’un des principaux chefs du roi, puis revêtir l’homme que le roi veut honorer, le promener à cheval à travers la place de la ville, et crier devant lui: C’est ainsi que l’on fait à l’homme que le roi veut honorer!

10 Le roi dit à Haman: Prends tout de suite le vêtement et le cheval, comme tu l’as dit, et fais ainsi pour Mardochée, le Juif, qui est assis à la porte du roi; ne néglige rien de tout ce que tu as mentionné.
