4:8a

a copy of the written decree issued in Susa for the destruction of the Jews: That is, a copy of the document which ordered people to kill the Jews.

4:8c

for her people: Mordecai was reminding Esther that she too was a Jew. If there is no distinction between “his” and “her” in your language, you must take care that it is referring clearly to Esther’s people, not the king’s or Hathach’s.
