BRAGADAYJAH 1222
Haman’s Decree to Kill all Jews.
Haman told king Ahasuerus that there was a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces within the kingdom, whose laws were different from the laws of all other people, and that they did not keep the king’s laws; and it was not in his interest to allow those people to live the way they did. Therefore, he recommended, “Let it be written that they may be destroyed; and he would pay ten thousand talents of silver to those who have the charge of the matter to bring it into the king’s treasuries. And the king took his ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And the king gave to Haman power to do to the Jews as he saw fit. Then on the thirteenth day of the first month, the king’s scribes wrote the law according to the dictates of Haman and sent it to all the lieutenants, the governors of the provinces, and to every ruler of the people throughout the kingdom, to kill and cause to perish all Jews, young, old, and little children, all in one day, on the thirteens day of the twelfth month which is the month Adar, and to take all of their property as spoil.” And satisfied that his aim was already accomplished, once a copy of the king’s decree was published abroad, he sat down to drink wine with the king.
