Verse 9. Third. Rom. Septuagint “first … Nisan,” ten days after Aman’s decree, who seems to have been presently brought to judgment. Yet two whole months might easily elapse, ( Calmet.) and ten days more, before this contrary edict was dispatched. Bible.—The day of slaughter was still remote. Menochius.
