Esther 3:13

Context
3:13 Letters were sent by the runners to all the king’s provinces stating that 1  they should destroy, kill, and annihilate all the Jews, from youth to elderly, both women and children, 2  on a particular day, namely the thirteenth day 3  of the twelfth month (that is, the month of Adar), and to loot and plunder their possessions.

1 tn The words “stating that” are not in the Hebrew text but have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Heb “children and women.” The translation follows contemporary English idiom, which reverses the order.

3 tc The LXX does not include the words “on the thirteenth day.”
