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.

Esther 9:1

Context
The Jews Prevail over Their Enemies

9:1 In the twelfth month (that is, the month of Adar), on its thirteenth day, the edict of the king and his law were to be executed. It was on this day that the enemies of the Jews had supposed that they would gain power over them. But contrary to expectations, the Jews gained power over their enemies.

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.”
