Esther 3:12

Then the king’s scribes were summoned in the first month on the 10th day of the month [This is the day before the Passover feast which begins on Nisan 14, see Ex. 12:6; in 479 B.C. it was April 17.] Everything was written according to what Haman commanded, to the king’s satraps [provincial governors - ”­protectors of the land”; there were 20-28 of them] and the governors who were over all the provinces, and to the princes of each nation, to all the provinces in their own writing (in their various written languages) and to each nation in their own language. In the name of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) it was written, and it was sealed with the king’s signet ring.
[Here in verses 11-12 there is a strange coded message. With an interval of 6 letters it says Haman v´Satan rajach which means ”Haman and Satan stink.” Number six is man’s speech. See also Est. 1:20; 5:4; 5:13; 7:7, Est. 1:3; 4:2; 4:7; 7:5 and the fact box at the end of the book of Esther about how God’s name is hidden in the book of Esther.]
