24 For Haman the Agagite, the son of Hammedatha, ^athe enemy of all the Jews, ^bhad plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and ^chad cast Pur (that is, cast lots), to crush and to destroy them. 25 But when it came before the king, he gave orders in writing ^dthat his evil plan that he had devised against the Jews ^eshould return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows. ^{▼▼Or suspended on a stake} 26 Therefore they called these days Purim, after the term ^gPur. Therefore, because of all that was written in ^hthis letter, and of what they had faced in this matter, and of what had happened to them,

21 For the king of Babylon stands ^kat the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination. He shakes the arrows; he consults ^lthe teraphim; ^{▼▼Or household idols} he looks at the liver. 22 Into his right hand comes the divination for Jerusalem, ⁿto set battering rams, to open the mouth with murder, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, ^oto cast up mounds, to build siege towers.

Matthew 27:35
