Parallel
Esther 8:9
Berean Standard Bible · Westminster Leningrad Codex
At once the royal scribes were summoned, and on the twenty-third day of the third month (the month of Sivan (note: Sivan is the third month of the Hebrew lunar calendar, usually occurring within the months of May and June.)), they recorded all of Mordecai’s orders to the Jews and to the satraps, governors, and princes of the 127 provinces from India to Cush (note: That is, to the upper Nile region)—writing to each province in its own script, to every people in their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.
וַיִּקָּרְא֣וּ סֹפְרֵֽי־ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ בָּֽעֵת־ הַ֠הִיא בַּחֹ֨דֶשׁ הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֜י הוּא־ חֹ֣דֶשׁ סִיוָ֗ן בִּשְׁלוֹשָׁ֣ה וְעֶשְׂרִים֮ בּוֹ֒ וַיִּכָּתֵ֣ב כְּֽכָל־ אֲשֶׁר־ צִוָּ֣ה מָרְדֳּכַ֣י אֶל־ הַיְּהוּדִ֡ים וְאֶ֣ל הָאֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנִֽים־ וְהַפַּחוֹת֩ וְשָׂרֵ֨י הַמְּדִינ֜וֹת אֲשֶׁ֣ר׀ מֵהֹ֣דּוּ וְעַד־ כּ֗וּשׁ שֶׁ֣בַע וְעֶשְׂרִ֤ים וּמֵאָה֙ מְדִינָ֔ה מְדִינָ֤ה וּמְדִינָה֙ כִּכְתָבָ֔הּ וְעַ֥ם וָעָ֖ם כִּלְשֹׁנ֑וֹ וְאֶ֨ל־ הַיְּהוּדִ֔ים כִּכְתָבָ֖ם וְכִלְשׁוֹנָֽם׃
