Parallel

Esther 5:14

Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible

Responderuntque ei Zares uxor ejus, et ceteri amici : Jube parari excelsam trabem, habentem altitudinis quinquaginta cubitos, et dic mane regi ut appendatur super eam Mardochæus, et sic ibis cum rege lætus ad convivium. Placuit ei consilium, et jussit excelsam parari crucem.
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.
