bazah> (8799) to lay <07971 shalach> (8800) hands <03027 yad> on
Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay> alone; for they had shewed <{05046}
nagad> (8689) him the people <05971 <am> of Mordecai <04782
Mord@kay>: wherefore Haman <02001 Haman> sought <01245 baqash>

unto the banquet <04960 mishteh> that Esther <00635 >Ecter> had
prepared <06213 <asah> (8804).

(8689) them that he was a Jew <03064 Y@huwdiy>.
08085 Est _ 02 _ 08 So it came to pass, when the king's <04428

heard <{08085} shama<> (8736), and when many <07227 rab> maidens

<01419 gadowl> in the king's <04428 melek> house <01004 bayith>,
and his fame <{08089} shoma<> went out <01980 halak> (8802)

08096 Est _ 02 _ 05 Now in Shushan <07800 Shuwshan> the palace
<01002 biyrah> there was a certain <00376 >iysh> Jew <03064

written <03789 kathab> (8803), that Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay>

king <04428 melek> Ahasuerus <00325 >Achashverowsh>.
08104 Est _ 02 _ 21 6 In those days <03117 yowm>, while Mordecai

heard <08085 shama<> (8736), and when many <07227 rab> maidens

<04428 melek> delighted <02654 chaphets> (8804) in her, and that
she were called <07121 qara>> (8738) by name <08034 shem>.
08104 Est _ 02 _ 03 And let the king <04428 melek> appoint
<06485 paqad> (8686) officers <06496 paqiyd> in all the

their things for purification <08562 tamruwq> be given <05414

king's <04428 melek> chamberlain <05631 cariyc>, the keeper
<{08104} shamar> (8802) of the women <00802 >ishshah>, appointed

all them that looked <07200 ra>ah> (8802) upon her.
08130 Est _ 09 _ 05 Thus the Jews <03064 Y@huwdiy> smote <05221
nakah> (8686) all their enemies <00341 >oyeb> (8802) with the
stroke <04347 makkah> of the sword <02719 chereb>, and slaughter

drew near <05060 naga<> (8689) to be put in execution <06213
<asah> (8736), in the day <03117 yowm> that the enemies <00341

the royal <04438 malkuwth> house <01004 bayith>, over against

6 Est _ 06 _ 01 {6} On that night <03915 layil> could not <05074

he commanded <00559 >amar> (8799) to bring <00935 bow>> (8687)
the book <05612 cepher> of records <02146 zikrown> of the
chronicles <01697 dabar> <03117 yowm>; and they were read <07121

his head <07218 ro>sh> covered <02645 chaphah> (8802).
6 Est _ 07 _ 01 {6} So the king <04428 melek> and Haman <02001
Haman> came <00935 bow>> (8799) to banquet <08354 shathah>
(8800) with Esther <00635 >Ecter> the queen <04436 malkah>.
6 Est _ 07 _ 07 {6} And the king <04428 melek> arising <06965

his life <05315 nephesh> to Esther <00635 >Ecter> the queen
<04436 malkah>; for he saw <07200 ra>ah> (8804) that there was
evil <07451 ra<> determined <03615 kalah> (8804) against him by
the king <04428 melek>.
6 Est _ 08 _ 01 {6} On that day <03117 yowm> did the king <04428

came <00935 bow>> (8804) before <06440 paniym> the king <04428
melek>; for Esther <00635 >Ecter> had told <05046 nagad> (8689)

the Jews <03064 Y@huwdiy>.
6 Est _ 08 _ 15 {6} And Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay> went out
<03318 yatsa>> (8804) from the presence <06440 paniym> of the
king <04428 melek> in royal <04438 malkuwth> apparel <03830

Shushan <07800 Shuwshan> rejoiced <06670 tsahal> (8804) and was
glad <08056 sameach>.

drew near <05060 naga<> (8689) to be put in execution <06213
<asah> (8736), in the day <03117 yowm> that the enemies <00341
>oyeb> (8802) of the Jews <03064 Y@huwdiy> hoped <07663 sabar>
(8765) to have power <07980 shalat> (8800) over them, (though it
was turned <02015 haphak> (8736) to the contrary, that the Jews
<03064 Y@huwdiy> had rule <07980 shalat> (8799) over them that
hated <08130 sane>> (8802) them;)
6 Est _ 09 _ 20 {6} And Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay> wrote <03789
kathab> (8799) these things <01697 dabar>, and sent <07971
shalach> (8799) letters <05612 cepher> unto all the Jews <03064
Y@huwdiy> that were in all the provinces <04082 m@diynah> of the

6 Est _ 10 _ 01 {6} And the king <04428 melek> Ahasuerus <00325
>Achashverowsh> laid <07760 suwm> (8799) a tribute <04522 mac>
upon the land <00776 >erets>, and upon the isles <00339 >iy> of
the sea <03220 yam>.
8675 Est _ 08 _ 13 The copy <06572 parshegen> of the writing
<03791 kathab> for a commandment <01881 dath> to be given <05414
nathan> (8736) in every province <04082 m@diynah> was published
<01540 galah> (8803) unto all people <05971 <am>, and that the
Jews <03064 Y@huwdiy> should be ready <06264 <athiyd> ({8675})
<06259 <athuwd> against that day <03117 yowm> to avenge <05358
naqam> (8736) themselves on their enemies <00341 >oyeb> (8802).
8686 Est _ 04 _ 12 And they told <05046 nagad> ({8686}) to
Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay> Esther's <00635 >Ecter> words <01697
dabar>.
8686 Est _ 04 _ 09 And Hatach <02047 Hathak> came <00935 bow>>
(8799) and told <05046 nagad> ({8686}) Esther <00635 >Ecter> the
words <01697 dabar> of Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay>.
8686 Est _ 02 _ 10 Esther <00635 >Ecter> had not shewed <05046
nagad> (8689) her people <05971 <am> nor her kindred <04138

tsavah> (8765) her that she should not shew <05046 nagad>
({8686}) it.
8686 Est _ 08 _ 04 Then the king <04428 melek> held out <03447
yashat> ({8686}) the golden <02091 zahab> sceptre <08275
sharbiyt> toward Esther <00635 >Ecter>. So Esther <00635 >Ecter>
arose <06965 quwm> (8799), and stood <05975 <amad> (8799) before
<06440 paniym> the king <04428 melek>,
8686 Est _ 05 _ 10 Nevertheless Haman <02001 Haman> refrained
<00662 >aphaq> (8691) himself: and when he came <00935 bow>>
(8799) home <01004 bayith>, he sent <07971 shalach> (8799) and
called <00935 bow>> ({8686}) for his friends <00157 >ahab>
(8802), and Zeresh <02238 Zeresh> his wife <00802 >ishshah>.
8686 Est _ 03 _ 10 And the king <04428 melek> took <05493 cuwr>
({8686}) his ring <02885 tabba<ath> from his hand <03027 yad>,
and gave <05414 nathan> (8799) it unto Haman <02001 Haman> the
son <01121 ben> of Hammedatha <04099 M@datha> the Agagite <00091

8686 Est _ 02 _ 22 And the thing <01697 dabar> was known <03045
yada<> (8735) to Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay>, who told <05046
nagad> ({8686}) it unto Esther <00635 >Ecter> the queen <04436
malkah>; and Esther <00635 >Ecter> certified <00559 >amar>
(8799) the king <04428 melek> thereof in Mordecai's <04782
Mord@kay> name <08034 shem>.
8686 Est _ 06 _ 14 And while they were yet talking <01696 dabar>

the banquet <04960 mishteh> that Esther <00635 >Ecter> had
prepared <06213 <asah> (8804).
8686 Est _ 09 _ 05 Thus the Jews <03064 Y@huwdiy> smote <05221
nakah> ({8686}) all their enemies <00341 >oyeb> (8802) with the
stroke <04347 makkah> of the sword <02719 chereb>, and slaughter
<02027 hereg>, and destruction <00012 >abdan>, and did <06213
<asah> (8799) what they would <07522 ratsown> unto those that
hated <08130 sane>> (8802) them.
8686 Est _ 08 _ 02 And the king <04428 melek> took off <05493
cuwr> ({8686}) his ring <02885 tabba<ath>, which he had taken
<05674 <abar> (8689) from Haman <02001 Haman>, and gave <05414
nathan> (8799) it unto Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay>. And Esther
<00635 >Ecter> set <07760 suwm> (8799) Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay>
over the house <01004 bayith> of Haman <02001 Haman>.
8686 Est _ 06 _ 08 Let the royal <04438 malkuwth> apparel <03830

is set <05414 nathan> (8738) upon his head <07218 ro>sh>:
8686 Est _ 04 _ 07 And Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay> told <05046
nagad> ({8686}) him of all that had happened <07136 qarah>
(8804) unto him, and of the sum <06575 parashah> of the money
<03701 keceph> that Haman <02001 Haman> had promised <00559

to destroy <00006 >abad> (8763) them.
8686 Est _ 03 _ 04 Now it came to pass, when they spake <00559

hearkened <08085 shama<> (8804) not unto them, that they told
<05046 nagad> ({8686}) Haman <02001 Haman>, to see <07200 ra>ah>
(8800) whether Mordecai's <04782 Mord@kay> matters <01697 dabar>
would stand <05975 <amad> (8799): for he had told <05046 nagad>
(8689) them that he was a Jew <03064 Y@huwdiy>.
8686 Est _ 02 _ 17 And the king <04428 melek> loved <00157
>ahab> (8799) Esther <00635 >Ecter> above all the women <00802

chen> and favour <02617 checed> in his sight <06440 paniym> more
than all the virgins <01330 b@thuwlah>; so that he set <07760
suwm> (8799) the royal <04438 malkuwth> crown <03804 kether>
upon her head <07218 ro>sh>, and made her queen <04427 malak>

8686 Est _ 04 _ 04 So Esther's <00635 >Ecter> maids <05291
na<arah> and her chamberlains <05631 cariyc> came <00935 bow>>
(8799) and told <05046 nagad> ({8686}) it her. Then was the
queen <04436 malkah> exceedingly <03966 m@<od> grieved <02342
chuwl> (8698); and she sent <07971 shalach> (8799) raiment

feast <04960 mishteh> and a good <02896 towb> day <03117 yowm>.
And many <07227 rab> of the people <05971 <am> of the land
<00776 >erets> became Jews <03054 yahad> (8693); for the fear
<06343 pachad> of the Jews <03064 Y@huwdiy> fell <05307 naphal>
(8804) upon them.
8689 Est _ 09 _ 23 And the Jews <03064 Y@huwdiy> undertook
<06901 qabal> (8765) to do <06213 <asah> (8800) as they had
begun <02490 chalal> ({8689}), and as Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay>

8689 Est _ 02 _ 10 Esther <00635 >Ecter> had not shewed <05046
nagad> ({8689}) her people <05971 <am> nor her kindred <04138

tsavah> (8765) her that she should not shew <05046 nagad> (8686)
it.
8689 Est _ 07 _ 10 So they hanged <08518 talah> (8799) Haman
<02001 Haman> on the gallows <06086 <ets> that he had prepared
<03559 kuwn> ({8689}) for Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay>. Then was
the king's <04428 melek> wrath <02534 chemah> pacified <07918
shakak> (8804).
8689 Est _ 06 _ 14 And while they were yet talking <01696 dabar>

banquet <04960 mishteh> that Esther <00635 >Ecter> had prepared
<06213 <asah> (8804).
8689 Est _ 08 _ 02 And the king <04428 melek> took off <05493
cuwr> (8686) his ring <02885 tabba<ath>, which he had taken
<05674 <abar> ({8689}) from Haman <02001 Haman>, and gave <05414

<00635 >Ecter> set <07760 suwm> (8799) Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay>
over the house <01004 bayith> of Haman <02001 Haman>.
8689 Est _ 09 _ 26 Wherefore they called <07121 qara>> (8804)
these days <03117 yowm> Purim <06332 Puwr> after the name <08034

kakah>, and which had come <05060 naga<> ({8689}) unto them,
8689 Est _ 04 _ 05 6 Then called <07121 qara>> (8799) Esther

<04428 melek> chamberlains <05631 cariyc>, whom he had appointed
<05975 <amad> ({8689}) to attend <06440 paniym> upon her, and
gave him a commandment <06680 tsavah> (8762) to Mordecai <04782

was.
8689 Est _ 05 _ 12 Haman <02001 Haman> said <00559 >amar> (8799)
moreover, Yea, Esther <00635 >Ecter> the queen <04436 malkah>
did let no man come in <00935 bow>> ({8689}) with the king
<04428 melek> unto the banquet <04960 mishteh> that she had
prepared <06213 <asah> (8804) but myself; and to morrow <04279

king <04428 melek>.
8689 Est _ 02 _ 06 Who had been carried away <01540 galah>

<01473 gowlah> which had been carried away <01540 galah> (8717)
with Jeconiah <03204 Y@konyah> king <04428 melek> of Judah
<03063 Y@huwdah>, whom Nebuchadnezzar <05019 N@buwkadne>tstsar>
the king <04428 melek> of Babylon <00894 Babel> had carried away
<01540 galah> ({8689}).
8689 Est _ 03 _ 04 Now it came to pass, when they spake <00559
>amar> (8800) daily <03117 yowm> <03117 yowm> unto him, and he
hearkened <08085 shama<> (8804) not unto them, that they told

(8800) whether Mordecai's <04782 Mord@kay> matters <01697 dabar>
would stand <05975 <amad> (8799): for he had told <05046 nagad>
({8689}) them that he was a Jew <03064 Y@huwdiy>.
8689 Est _ 06 _ 04 6 And the king <04428 melek> said <00559

<02001 Haman> was come <00935 bow>> (8804) into the outward
<02435 chiytsown> court <02691 chatser> of the king's <04428

<04782 Mord@kay> on the gallows <06086 <ets> that he had
prepared <03559 kuwn> ({8689}) for him.
8689 Est _ 09 _ 24 Because Haman <02001 Haman> the son <01121

the enemy <06887 tsarar> (8802) of all the Jews <03064 Y@huwdiy>,
had devised <02803 chashab> (8804) against the Jews <03064
Y@huwdiy> to destroy <00006 >abad> (8763) them, and had cast
<05307 naphal> ({8689}) Pur <06332 Puwr>, that is, the lot
<01486 gowral>, to consume <02000 hamam> (8800) them, and to
destroy <00006 >abad> (8763) them;
8689 Est _ 08 _ 01 6 On that day <03117 yowm> did the king
<04428 melek> Ahasuerus <00325 >Achashverowsh> give <05414

the Jews <03064 Y@huwdiy>' enemy <06887 tsarar> (8802) unto
Esther <00635 >Ecter> the queen <04436 malkah>. And Mordecai
<04782 Mord@kay> came <00935 bow>> (8804) before <06440 paniym>
the king <04428 melek>; for Esther <00635 >Ecter> had told
<05046 nagad> ({8689}) what he was unto her.
8689 Est _ 07 _ 04 For we are sold <04376 makar> (8738), I and
my people <05971 <am>, to be destroyed <08045 shamad> (8687), to
be slain <02026 harag> (8800), and to perish <00006 >abad>
(8763). But if <00432 >illuw> we had been sold <04376 makar>
(8738) for bondmen <05650 <ebed> and bondwomen <08198 shiphchah>,
I had held my tongue <02790 charash> ({8689}), although the
enemy <06862 tsar> could not countervail <07737 shavah> (8802)
the king's <04428 melek> damage <05143 nezeq>.
8689 Est _ 06 _ 02 And it was found <04672 matsa>> (8735)
written <03789 kathab> (8803), that Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay>
had told <05046 nagad> ({8689}) of Bigthana <00904 Bigthan> and
Teresh <08657 Teresh>, two <08147 sh@nayim> of the king's <04428

(8802) of the door <05592 caph>, who sought <01245 baqash>
(8765) to lay <07971 shalach> (8800) hand <03027 yad> on the
king <04428 melek> Ahasuerus <00325 >Achashverowsh>.
8689 Est _ 03 _ 06 And he thought <05869 <ayin> scorn <00959
bazah> (8799) to lay <07971 shalach> (8800) hands <03027 yad> on
Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay> alone; for they had shewed <05046
nagad> ({8689}) him the people <05971 <am> of Mordecai <04782
Mord@kay>: wherefore Haman <02001 Haman> sought <01245 baqash>
(8762) to destroy <08045 shamad> (8687) all the Jews <03064
Y@huwdiy> that were throughout the whole kingdom <04438

Jews <03064 Y@huwdiy> from another <00312 >acher> place <04725

<00802 >ishshah> unto him, If Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay> be of

<asah> (8735) of her.
8800 Est _ 01 _ 15 What shall we do <06213 <asah> ({8800}) unto
the queen <04436 malkah> Vashti <02060 Vashtiy> according to law

(8804) the commandment <03982 ma>amar> of the king <04428 melek>
Ahasuerus <00325 >Achashverowsh> by <03027 yad> the chamberlains

gladness <08057 simchah>.
8800 Est _ 02 _ 13 Then thus came <00935 bow>> (8802) every
maiden <05291 na<arah> unto the king <04428 melek>; whatsoever
she desired <00559 >amar> (8799) was given <05414 nathan> (8735)
her to go <00935 bow>> ({8800}) with her out of the house <01004

Ahasuerus <00325 >Achashverowsh> was appeased <07918 shakak>

Vashtiy>, and what she had done <06213 <asah> (8804), and what
was decreed <01504 gazar> (8738) against her.
8800 Est _ 01 _ 08 And the drinking <08360 sh@thiyah> was
according to the law <01881 dath>; none did compel <00597 >anac>
(8802): for so the king <04428 melek> had appointed <03245
yacad> (8765) to all the officers <07227 rab> of his house
<01004 bayith>, that they should do <06213 <asah> ({8800})
according to every man's <00376 >iysh> pleasure <07522 ratsown>.
8800 Est _ 04 _ 05 6 Then called <07121 qara>> (8799) Esther
<00635 >Ecter> for Hatach <02047 Hathak>, one of the king's
<04428 melek> chamberlains <05631 cariyc>, whom he had appointed
<05975 <amad> (8689) to attend <06440 paniym> upon her, and gave
him a commandment <06680 tsavah> (8762) to Mordecai <04782
Mord@kay>, to know <03045 yada<> ({8800}) what it was, and why
it was.

({8800}) at the king's <04428 melek> commandment <01697 dabar>
by <03027 yad> his chamberlains <05631 cariyc>: therefore was
the king <04428 melek> very <03966 m@<od> wroth <07107 qatsaph>
(8799), and his anger <02534 chemah> burned <01197 ba<ar> (8804)
in him.
8800 Est _ 05 _ 05 Then the king <04428 melek> said <00559

mahar> (8761), that he may do <06213 <asah> ({8800}) as Esther
<00635 >Ecter> hath said <01697 dabar>. So the king <04428
melek> and Haman <02001 Haman> came <00935 bow>> (8799) to the
banquet <04960 mishteh> that Esther <00635 >Ecter> had prepared
<06213 <asah> (8804).
8800 Est _ 04 _ 07 And Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay> told <05046

8800 Est _ 01 _ 03 In the third <07969 shalowsh> year <08141
shaneh> of his reign <04427 malak> ({8800}), he made <06213

nobles <06579 partam> and princes <08269 sar> of the provinces

8800 Est _ 09 _ 18 But the Jews <03064 Y@huwdiy> that were at
Shushan <07800 Shuwshan> assembled together <06950 qahal> (8738)
on the thirteenth <07969 shalowsh> <06240 <asar> day thereof,

8800 Est _ 06 _ 04 6 And the king <04428 melek> said <00559

8800 Est _ 06 _ 04 6 And the king <04428 melek> said <00559

<04782 Mord@kay> on the gallows <06086 <ets> that he had
prepared <03559 kuwn> (8689) for him.
8800 Est _ 09 _ 24 Because Haman <02001 Haman> the son <01121

the enemy <06887 tsarar> (8802) of all the Jews <03064 Y@huwdiy>,
had devised <02803 chashab> (8804) against the Jews <03064
Y@huwdiy> to destroy <00006 >abad> (8763) them, and had cast
<05307 naphal> (8689) Pur <06332 Puwr>, that is, the lot <01486

8800 Est _ 09 _ 25 But when Esther came <00935 bow>> ({8800})
before <06440 paniym> the king <04428 melek>, he commanded
<00559 >amar> (8804) by letters <05612 cepher> that his wicked
<07451 ra<> device <04284 machashabah>, which he devised <02803

he and his sons <01121 ben> should be hanged <08518 talah>

8800 Est _ 09 _ 13 Then said <00559 >amar> (8799) Esther <00635

it be granted <05414 nathan> (8735) to the Jews <03064 Y@huwdiy>
which are in Shushan <07800 Shuwshan> to do <06213 <asah>

I had held my tongue <02790 charash> (8689), although the enemy

king's <04428 melek> damage <05143 nezeq>.
8800 Est _ 06 _ 02 And it was found <04672 matsa>> (8735)

drink <08354 shathah> ({8800}); but the city <05892 <iyr>
Shushan <07800 Shuwshan> was perplexed <00943 buwk> (8737).

because the fear <06343 pachad> of Mordecai <04782 Mord@kay>
fell <05307 naphal> (8804) upon them.
8802 Est _ 03 _ 02 And all the king's <04428 melek> servants

I had held my tongue <02790 charash> (8689), although the enemy
