1 NOw in the twelfth month (that is the month Adar) on the thirteenth day of the same, when the kings commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them , (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them.)

In that day which was selected by Haman with great Industry and Art, as the most lucky day, and which their Enemies had oft times formerly thought of, and [illegible: 1+ letters]o doubt threatned the Jews with it.
