Esther 3:8

3:8 Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a particular people¹ that is dispersed and spread among the inhabitants² throughout all the provinces of your kingdom whose laws differ from those of all other peoples. Furthermore, they do not observe the king’s laws. It is not appropriate for the king to provide a haven for them.³

Esther 9:27-28

Context
9:27 Therefore, because of the account found in this letter and what they had faced in this regard and what had happened to them, the Jews established as binding on themselves, their descendants, and all who joined their company that they should observe these two days without fail, just as written and at the appropriate time on an annual basis. 9:28 These days were to be remembered and to be celebrated in every generation and in every family, every province, and every city. The Jews were not to fail to observe these days of Purim; the remembrance of them was not to cease among their descendants.

¹tn Heb “one people.” Note the subtle absence at this point of a specific mention of the Jewish people by name.

²tn Heb “peoples” (so NASB, NIV); NAB “nations”

³tn Heb “to cause them to rest”; NASB “to let them remain”; NAB, NIV, NRSV “to tolerate them.”
