Esther 9:1 in Context — Esther 9

1 Au douzième mois, qui est le mois d’Adar, le treizième jour du mois, jour où devaient s’exécuter l’ordre et l’édit du roi, et où les ennemis des Juifs avaient espéré dominer sur eux, ce fut le contraire qui arriva, et les Juifs dominèrent sur leurs ennemis.

2 Les Juifs se rassemblèrent dans leurs villes, dans toutes les provinces du roi Assuérus, pour mettre la main sur ceux qui cherchaient leur perte; et personne ne put leur résister, car la crainte qu’on avait d’eux s’était emparée de tous les peuples.

3 Et tous les chefs des provinces, les satrapes, les gouverneurs, les fonctionnaires du roi, soutinrent les Juifs, à cause de l’effroi que leur inspirait Mardochée.
