И сказал царь Есфири царице: 'Евреи убили и уничтожили пятьсот человек в Шушанском замке и десять сыновей Амана; что же они сделали в остальной части короля'провинций! Теперь, независимо от твоего прошения, оно будет удовлетворено тебе; и какова бы ни была ваша просьба, она будет выполнена.'
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“What have they done in the other lands of the king” [9:12]. Ahasuerus said to Esther: the Jews have killed five hundred men and Haman’s children. They stopped in the evening since they feared me. The Jews have certainly killed many more in other cities and they have even killed at night. Then Esther said: I ask you my lord king, because the Jews feared you and stopped early, therefore allow the Jews to kill the Amalekites for another day. The king ordered and gave them a letter that they should kill as they pleased. The Jews gathered on the fourteenth day of Adar and killed three hundred men and they did not touch the money of the Amalekites. In other cities, the Jews killed seventy thou- sand-five hundred Amalekites.45Esther 9:16 says, seventy-five thousand. The Jews gathered on the thirteenth and the fourteenth and made a holiday to drink and feast.
