Esther (Greek) 3:5

³And they in the king’s palace said to Mordecai, Mordecai, why dost thou transgress the commands of the king?

⁴Thus they spoke daily to him, but he hearkened not unto them; so they represented to Haman that Mordecai resisted the commands of the king: and Mordecai had shown to them that he was a Jew.

— Esther (Greek) 3:5 —

⁶and took counsel to destroy utterly all the Jews who were under the rule of Artaxerxes.

⁷And he made a decree in the twelfth year of the reign of Artaxerxes, and cast lots daily and monthly, to slay in one day the race of Mordecai: and the lot fell on the fourteenth day of the month which is Adar.
