15. And Esther speaketh to send back unto Mordecai:
16. `Go, gather all the Jews who are found in Shushan, and fast for me, and do not eat nor drink three days, by night and by day; also I and my young women do fast likewise, and so I go in unto the king, that [is] not according to law, and when Ihave perished--I have perished.'
17. And Mordecai passeth on, and doth according to all that Esther hath charged upon him.
