Esther 8:3 in Context — Esther 8
1 En ce même jour, le roi Assuérus donna à la reine Esther la maison d’Haman, l’ennemi des Juifs; et Mardochée parut devant le roi, car Esther avait fait connaître la parenté qui l’unissait à elle.
2 Le roi ôta son anneau, qu’il avait repris à Haman, et le donna à Mardochée; Esther, de son côté, établit Mardochée sur la maison d’Haman.
3 Puis Esther parla de nouveau en présence du roi. Elle se jeta à ses pieds, elle pleura, elle le supplia d’empêcher les effets de la méchanceté d’Haman, l’Agaguite, et la réussite de ses projets contre les Juifs.
4 Le roi tendit le sceptre d’or à Esther, qui se releva et resta debout devant le roi.
5 Elle dit alors: Si le roi le trouve bon et si j’ai trouvé grâce devant lui, si la chose paraît convenable au roi et si je suis agréable à ses yeux, qu’on écrive pour révoquer les lettres conçues par Haman, fils d’Hammedatha, l’Agaguite, et écrites par lui dans le but de faire périr les Juifs qui sont dans toutes les provinces du roi.
