5And when Haman understood that Mordecai did not obeisance to him, he was greatly enraged,
6and took counsel to destroy utterly all the Jews who were under the rule of Artaxerxes.
— Esther (Greek) 3:7 —
8And he spoke to King Artaxerxes, saying, There is a nation scattered among the nations in all thy kingdom, and their laws differ from those of all the other nations; and they disobey the laws of the king; and it is not expedient for the king to let them alone.
9If it seem good to the king, let him make a decree to destroy them: and I will remit into the king’s treasury ten thousand talents of silver.
