So the Jews could do what they wanted with their enemies. They could kill them. In the city (Susa), the Jews killed 500 men. On the 14th day of the month called Adar the Jews killed 300 men in Susa. But they did not take the things of the people that they killed. In the provinces, the Jews killed 75,000 of their enemies. The Jews killed all the people who wanted to kill them. But they did not take the things of the people that they killed. They did that on the 13th day of Adar. Then, on the 14th day, the Jews in the provinces rested. They had feasts and they were very happy. Esther 9:5-6, 15-17
猶大人用刀擊殺一切仇敵，任意殺滅恨他們的人。 在書珊城，猶大人殺滅了五百人； ……亞達月十四日，書珊的猶大人又聚集在書珊，殺了三百人，卻沒有下手奪取財物。 在王各省其餘的猶大人也都聚集保護性命，殺了恨他們的人七萬五千，卻沒有下手奪取財物。這樣，就脫離仇敵，得享平安。 亞達月十三日，行了這事；十四日安息，以這日為設筵歡樂的日子。 以斯帖記 9:5-6, 15-17
