I make

However, in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree to rebuild this house of God.

Then King Darius issued a decree, and search was made in the archives, where the treasures were stored in Babylon.

So they established a decree to circulate a proclamation throughout all Israel from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to celebrate the Passover to the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem. For they had not celebrated it in great numbers as it was prescribed.

The couriers went out impelled by the king’s command while the decree was issued at the citadel in Susa; and while the king and Haman sat down to drink, the city of Susa was in confusion.

So the king commanded that it should be done so; and an edict was issued in Susa, and Haman’s ten sons were hanged.

He has also established them forever and ever;
He has made a decree which will not pass away.
