15. And Estĕr commanded to reply to Mordeḵai,
16. “Go, gather all the Yehuḏim who are present in Shushan, and fast for me, and do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I too, and my young women shall fast in the same way, then I shall go to the sovereign, which is against the law. And if I shall perish, I shall perish!”
17. Mordeḵai then went away and did according to all that Estĕr commanded him.
