Esther 9:16 in Context — Esther 9

14 Et le roi ordonna de faire ainsi. L’édit fut publié dans Suse. On pendit les dix fils d’Haman;

15 et les Juifs qui se trouvaient à Suse se rassemblèrent de nouveau le quatorzième jour du mois d’Adar et tuèrent dans Suse trois cents hommes. Mais ils ne mirent pas la main au pillage.

16 Les autres Juifs qui étaient dans les provinces du roi se rassemblèrent et défendirent leur vie; ils se procurèrent du repos en se délivrant de leurs ennemis, et ils tuèrent soixante-quinze mille de ceux qui leur étaient hostiles. Mais ils ne mirent pas la main au pillage.

17 Ces choses arrivèrent le treizième jour du mois d’Adar. Les Juifs se reposèrent le quatorzième, et ils en firent un jour de festin et de joie.

18 Ceux qui se trouvaient à Suse, s’étant rassemblés le treizième jour et le quatorzième jour, se reposèrent le quinzième, et ils en firent un jour de festin et de joie.
