And be ready for the morning, and go up in the morning to Mount Sinai and present yourself to me there on the top of the mountain.

And he commanded them, saying, "Look, you are to lay an ambush against the city from behind. Do not go very far from the city and be ready.

A copy of the edict [was] presented [as] law in every province making [it] known to all the people to be ready for that day.

A copy of the {edict} [was] to be given [as] law in each province to inform all the people, so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves from their enemies.

For [it is] pleasant if you guard them {within you}; together they will be ready upon your lips.

Be ready, and prepare {yourselves}, you and all of your assembly, the assembling around you, and you must be for them as a guard.
