Parallel

Esther 5:14

Louis Segond 1910 · Berean Standard Bible

5:14
Zéresch, sa femme, et tous ses amis lui dirent: Qu’on prépare un bois haut de cinquante coudées, et demain matin demande au roi qu’on y pende Mardochée; puis tu iras joyeux au festin avec le roi. Cet avis plut à Haman, et il fit préparer le bois.
His wife Zeresh and all his friends told him, “Have them build a gallows fifty cubits high (note: 50 cubits is approximately 75 feet or 22.9 meters high.), and ask the king in the morning to have Mordecai hanged on it. Then go to the banquet with the king and enjoy yourself.” The advice pleased Haman, and he had the gallows constructed.
