ESTHER III.

[Artax. Ahashuerus 9] HAMAN promoted by the King to the highest honour in the [Artax. Ahashuerus 10] Kingdom, obtaineth not one bowing or cringe from [Artax. Ahashuerus 11] Mordecai, Mordecai disdaineth to homage or to shew reverence to an Amalekite; for so Haman was, of the Seed of Agag, whom Samuel hewed to pieces in Gilgal.

[World 3485] [Artax. Ahashuerus 12] Haman would buy all the Jews in the Persian Monarchy for ten thousand Talents of silver, but they are given him for nothing: He goes not about the destruction of them, but first useth direction by Magical Lots: what day fittest to speed of his request, and the Devil allots him the thirteenth of the first month, and what month fittest for the execution, and the Devils Lot telleth him the month Adar.

On the thirteenth day of the first month, Letters are dispatched through all the Provinces of the Monarchy, for the destruction of the Jews at such a time.
