13The letters were taken by messengers to every part of the kingdom, and this is what was said in the letters:
On the thirteenth day of Adar, the twelfth month, all Jewish men, women, and children are to be killed. And their property is to be taken.
Esther 3:13
These letters all said that on the 13th day you would be dead. That sounds unlucky to me.

Friday the 13 th became an unlucky number when on the 13th day of October in the middle ages when the French ruler of the time had all of the knights templar arrested and/or murdered. People woke to find many of the most respected and well liked members of their communities gone or dead.

too bad that turned on the one who tried to enforce that law.
Est 9:1 Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)
Est 9:2 The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.
Est 9:13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
Est 9:14 And the king commanded it so to be done
so in the end it was a good day, a day they had victory over an enemy

13th day of Adar... yet "Friday" is not mentioned in there at all. Friday didn't come about till much later.

How does Friday play into this? Was this supposed to happen on a Friday?

This doesn't say anything about it falling on the 6th day of the week. Back to your books.

SO it is a theroy .not a fact? Well I think that the bible is full of metaphors and it really depends on the way you look at the bible.
