            Est_8:11:         By these letters the King permitted the Jews who were in every city to
                                    gather together and protect their lives--to destroy, kill, and annihilate all
                                    the forces of any people or province that would assault them, both little
                                    children and women, and to plunder their possessions...

            LXX:   ὡς ἐπέταξεν αὐτοῖς χρῆσθαι τοῖς νόμοις αὐτῶν ἐν πάσῃ πόλει βοηθῆσαί τε αὑτοῖς
                        καὶ χρῆσθαι τοῖς ἀντιδίκοις αὐτῶν καὶ τοῖς ἀντικειμένοις αὐτῶν ὡς βούλονται,

                       

            HEB:   There is NO TERM in the Hebrew text to indicate this Greek word should be
                        used. It is injected into the text.

We COULD make a case that THIS particular variant DOES refer to the TORAH because in the passage where the term is not added it actually DOES refer to the Torah of Moses.           

This variant does NOT APPEAR in the Greek New Testament.

νομοι "nomoi"

νομοι
"nomoi"

1.)        νομοι              nu; omikron; mu; omikron; iota                                 "nomoi"

            Appears (2) times in the LXX.                       Ester 3:8, Jeremiah 31:36

           
            In Ester 3:8 "nomoi" is used twice. It is used to translate Strong's # H1881; the Hebrew
            term "dath" (דּת). In this passage "dath" is used to designate both the "laws" of the
            "certain people" of whom Haman is telling the King about. It is also used to designate
            the "laws" of the King of Persia.       

            In Jeremiah 31:36 it is used to translate the Hebrew term "choq" (חק) H2706 meaning:

                                    From H2710; an enactment; hence an appointment (of time, space,
                                    quantity, labor or usage): - appointed, bound, commandment,
                                    convenient, custom, decree (-d), due, law, measure, X necessary,
                                    ordinance (-nary), portion, set time, statute, task.

This variant does NOT APPEAR in the Greek New Testament.

Because of Ester and Jeremiah we CANNOT say this term

always means "Torah;" the Commandments given by Moses.

But Jesus Fulfilled the law!
