14A copy of the text of the edict was to be issued in every province and published to all the people, so that they would be ready on that day.
15The couriers left, spurred on by the king’s command, and the edict was issued in the citadel of Susa. Then the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was in confusion.
