The king’s scribes are called and it is written according to all that Mordecai commanded, and the couriers ride out on royal horses

왕의 서기관이 소집되고 모르드개의 시키는대로 조서를 써서 역졸이 준마를 타고 빨리 나감

Esther 8:9–14: then the king’s scribes are called at that time, in the third month, which is the month Sivan, on the twenty-third day of the month; and it is written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the local governors, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, one hundred twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing, and in their language. The text says, “He wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by courier on horseback, riding on royal horses that were bred from swift steeds.” In those letters, the king grants the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together and to defend their lives—“to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to plunder their possessions, on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.” A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, is published to all the peoples, that the Jews should be ready for that day to avenge themselves on their enemies. So the couriers who rode on royal horses go out, hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment. The decree is given out in the citadel of Susa. The Korean Revised Version gives 8:10 no subject (아하수에로왕의 명의로 쓰고, written in the name of King Ahasuerus), and at 8:11 reads 저희를 치려하는 자와 그 처자 where WEB reads “that would assault them, their little ones and women”; at 8:9 it gives the date before the calling of the scribes and names the month first (시완월 곧 삼월, Sivan, that is, the third month), and at 8:12 it names the month Adar before the number (아달월 곧 십이월).
