OET (OET-LV) In/on_day one in_all the_provinces_of the_king ʼAḩashvērōsh on_day_thir- teen of_month two_plus ten that is_the_month_of Adar.
OET (OET-RV) This was to take place on a certain day in every province throughout the empire: the 13th of March (the same day on which Haman’s law was to take effect).
After Haman’s death, the king gave Esther everything that had belonged to Haman and made Mordecai the chief official in the land. Esther asked the king to cancel Haman’s order to kill the Jews. The king instead permitted her and Mordecai to send letters in his name allowing the Jews to defend themselves and kill their enemies. The news of this order brought great joy to the Jews.
There are many similarities between this passage and the section about Haman’s plot to kill the Jews. You should compare this passage with 3:12–15.
The single day appointed throughout all the provinces of King Xerxes was the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar.
The day which Mordecai chose for the Jews throughout King Xerxes’ kingdom to protect themselves like this was the 13th day of the 12th month, the month called Adar.
the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month of Adar: This was the same day that Haman had chosen for the massacre. See note on 3:7d.
