A "province" is a large area into which some countries are divided for the purposes of government. See how you translated this in [Esther 1:1](./01.md).
# every man should be master of his own household
"all men should have complete authority over their wives and their children"
# This decree was given
This can be stated in active form. AT: "They wrote this decree" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
