Esther 8:11

The king thereby allowed the Jews who were in every city to assemble and to stand up for themselves – to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate any army of whatever people or province that should become their adversaries, including their women and children, ¹  and to confiscate their property.

Es 3:13; Es 9:2-16; Es 9:10,15,16; Ps 37:14,15; Ps 68:3; Ps 137:8; Ps 146:6-9; Isa 10:6; Eze 39:10

¹ tn Heb “children and women.” As in 3:13, the translation follows contemporary English idiom, which reverses the order.
