Third day. Royal robes on. Standing in the inner court, across from the king's hall.

The king has given me Haman's estate. I told him who Mordecai is to me. He's given Mordecai his signet ring, the one he took back from Haman. And I've put Mordecai in charge of Haman's estate.

Went back to the king. Fell at his feet crying. Haman's letters are still out there, and the day is still coming. How can I watch my people be destroyed? He held out the sceptre again.

Replying to @mordecai

I've written too, with full authority, to confirm it.

That was me. He looked up and saw me standing there, and he held out the gold sceptre. I walked up and touched the tip of it.

The king has given me Haman’s estate. And I’ve told him who Mordecai is to me. He’s my cousin. He raised me.

It’s not over. Haman’s letters are still out there, and the day’s still coming. Went back in to the king. Fell at his feet and cried. How can I watch my own people be destroyed?

Mordecai and I have written again, with full authority, to confirm it. The days of Purim, at their set time, every year.

Mordecai@mordecaiTo every Jew in every province, near and far. Keep the fourteenth and the fifteenth of Adar, every year. The days we got rest from our enemies. The month our sorrow turned into joy, and our mourning into a holiday. Feast. Send each other food. Give to the poor.
