דִּבְרֵי הַיָּמִים לְמַלְכֵי מָדַי וּפָרָס׃

Esth. 10:2   And every act of his authority and his might, and declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whom the king had made powerful, are they not written on the book of the chronicles for the kings of Media and Persia?

כִּי מָרְדֳּכַי הַיְּהוּדִי מִשְׁנֶה לַמֶּלֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרֹושׁ וְגָדֹול לַיְּהוּדִים וְרָצוּי לְרֹב אֶחָיו דֹּרֵשׁ טֹוב לְעַמֹּו וְדֹבֵר   10:3

שָׁלֹום לְכָל־זַרְעֹו׃
