Esther 3:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ “If it pleases the king, I have a suggestion: Give a command to destroy these people. And I will put 750,000 pounds^[a] of silver into the king’s treasury. This money could be used to pay the men who do these things.”

¹⁰ So the king took the official ring off his finger and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite. Haman was the enemy of the Jews. ¹¹ Then the king said to Haman, “Keep the money. Do what you want with them.”
