Reply To: Why did the Yidden in the Megillah kill 75,000?

Sorry poppa I checked the Pesukim and effectively Achashverosh did cancel Homon’s decree:

Perek 8, Possuk 5: ‘And she said: ‘If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight….let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews that are in all the king’s provinces’

Possuk 8: (Achashverosh responded:) ‘And you write about the Jews as is good in your eyes’

Possuk 9: ‘Then were the king’s scribes called at that time, in the third month, which is the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded concerning the Jews…’

Possuk 11: ‘…that the king had granted the Jews that were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, and to slay, and to cause to perish etc.’
