Esther 8:13 in Context — Esther 8
11 Par ces lettres, le roi donnait aux Juifs, en quelque ville qu’ils fussent, la permission de se rassembler et de défendre leur vie, de détruire, de tuer et de faire périr, avec leurs petits enfants et leurs femmes, tous ceux de chaque peuple et de chaque province qui prendraient les armes pour les attaquer, et de livrer leurs biens au pillage,
12 et cela en un seul jour, dans toutes les provinces du roi Assuérus, le treizième du douzième mois, qui est le mois d’Adar.
13 Ces lettres renfermaient une copie de l’édit qui devait être publié dans chaque province, et informaient tous les peuples que les Juifs se tiendraient prêts pour ce jour-là à se venger de leurs ennemis.
14 Les courriers, montés sur des chevaux et des mulets, partirent aussitôt et en toute hâte, d’après l’ordre du roi. L’édit fut aussi publié dans Suse, la capitale.
15 Mardochée sortit de chez le roi, avec un vêtement royal bleu et blanc, une grande couronne d’or, et un manteau de byssus et de pourpre. La ville de Suse poussait des cris et se réjouissait.
