1 Posle toga, podiže car Asvir Amana, sina Amedatinog, Agageja, i uzvisi ga, i namesti mu presto više svih knezova što behu kod njega. 2 I sve sluge careve što behu na vratima carevim klanjahu se i padahu pred Amanom, jer tako beše car zapovedio za nj. Ali Mardohej ne klanjaše se niti padaše. 3 I sluge careve što behu na vratima carevim govorahu Mardoheju: Zašto prestupaš zapovest carevu? 4 I pošto mu od dana na dan govoraše, a on ne posluša, javiše Amanu da vide hoće li ostati reči Mardohejeve, jer im beše kazao da je Judejac. 5 A kad vide Aman da se Mardohej ne klanja niti pada pred njim, napuni se gneva Aman. 6 Ali mišljaše da nije vredno da digne ruku na Mardoheja samog, jer mu kazaše kog naroda beše Mardohej, nego gledaše da istrebi sve Judejce što behu po svemu carstvu Asvirovom, narod Mardohejev. 7 Prvog meseca, a to je mesec Nisan, godine dvanaeste carovanja Asvirovog, bacaše Fur, to jest žreb, pred Amanom, od dana do dana i od meseca do meseca, do dvanaestog meseca, a to je mesec Adar. 8 I Aman reče caru Asviru: Ima narod rasejan i rasut po narodima po svim zemljama carstva tvog, kog su zakoni drugačiji od zakona svih naroda, i ne izvršuje zakona carevih, pa nije probitačno caru da ih ostavi. 9 Ako je caru ugodno, da se piše da se istrebe; i ja ću izmeriti deset hiljada talanata srebra u ruke pristavima da donesu u carevu riznicu. 10 Tada car snimi prsten s ruke svoje i dade ga Amanu sinu Amedatinom Agageju neprijatelju judejskom. 11 I reče Amanu: To srebro neka tebi, a od naroda čini šta ti je drago. 12 Zato dozvaše pisare careve prvog meseca trinaestog dana, i napisa se sve kako zapovedi Aman, namesnicima carevim i vojvodama u svakoj zemlji i knezovima svakog naroda, svakoj zemlji pismom njenim i svakom narodu jezikom njegovim, u ime cara Asvira napisa se i prstenom carevim zapečati se. 13 I razaslaše se knjige po glasnicima u sve zemlje careve da potru, pobiju i istrebe sve Judejce, staro i mlado, decu i žene u jedan dan, trinaestog dana dvanaestog meseca, koje je mesec Adar, i da razgrabe imanje njihovo. 14 U knjigama se govoraše da se oglasi zapovest po svim zemljama i da se objavi svim narodima da budu gotovi za onaj dan. 15 Glasnici otidoše brzo po zapovesti carevoj, i zapovest bi oglašena u Susanu, carskom gradu. A car i Aman seđahu i pijahu, a grad se Susan smete.
