Esther 1:21-22

The Voice

²¹ Memucan’s advice was well received by the king and his advisors.

²² The king drafted letters and sent them to all of his provinces. His emissaries spread the news quickly at the king’s directive that each province receive the decree in their own script and language: “In Persia every man will be master of his own home and speak in the language of his own people—regardless of the language his wife speaks.”
