10 · This verse (above)
11“All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that any man or woman who goes in to the king, into the inner court, who has not been called, his law is one: to put him to death, except the one to whom the king holds out the golden scepter, and he will live. But I have not been called to go in to the king these thirty days.”
