But after they had rest, H5117 (QalInf) they did H6213 (QalInf) evil^§ H7451 again H7725 (QalImpf) before H6440 thee: therefore leftest H5800 (QalImpf) thou them in the hand H3027 of their enemies, H341 (QalActPtc) so that they had the dominion H7287 (QalImpf) over them: yet when they returned, H7725 (QalImpf) and cried H2199 (QalImpf) unto thee, thou heardest H8085 (QalImpf) them from heaven; H8064 and many H7227 times H6256 didst thou deliver H5337 (HiphImpf) them according to thy mercies; H7356

For they have not served you in their kingdom, and in your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and rich land which you gave before them. They didn’t turn from their wicked works.

For they have not served H5647 (QalPerf) thee in their kingdom, H4438 and in thy great H7227 goodness H2898 that thou gavest H5414 (QalPerf) them, and in the large H7342 and fat H8082 land H776 which thou gavest H5414 (QalPerf) before H6440 them, neither turned H7725 (QalPerf) they from their wicked H7451 works.

It came to pass that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened until after the Sabbath.

Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times (for it was the king’s custom to consult those who knew law and judgment;

Then the king H4428 said H559 (QalImpf) to the wise men, H2450 which knew H3045 (QalActPtc) the times, H6256 (for so was the king’s H4428 manner H1697 toward H6440 all that knew H3045 (QalActPtc) law H1881 and judgment: H1779

For this deed of the queen will become known to all women, causing them to show contempt for their husbands when it is reported, ‘King Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she didn’t come.’

For this deed H1697 of the queen H4436 shall come abroad H3318 (QalImpf) unto all women, H802 so that they shall despise H959 (HiphInf) their husbands H1167 in their eyes, H5869 when it shall be reported, H559 (QalInf) The king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 commanded H559 (QalPerf) Vashti H2060 the queen H4436 to be brought in H935 (HiphInf) before H6440 him, but she came H935 (QalPerf) not.

“If it pleases the king, let a royal commandment go from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it cannot be altered, that Vashti may never again come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another who is better than she.

The maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him. He quickly gave her cosmetics and her portions of food, and the seven choice maidens who were to be given her out of the king’s house. He moved her and her maidens to the best place in the women’s house.

And the maiden H5291 pleased H3190 (QalImpf) H5869 him, and she obtained H5375 (QalImpf) kindness H2617 of him; H6440 and he speedily H926 (PielImpf) gave H5414 (QalInf) her her things for purification, H8562 with such things^§ as belonged H4490 to her, and seven H7651 maidens, H5291 which were meet H7200 (QalPasPtc) to be given H5414 (QalInf) her, out of the king’s H4428 house: H1004 and he preferred H8138 (PielImpf) her^§ and her maids H5291 unto the best H2896 place of the house H1004 of the women.

Mordecai walked every day in front of the court of the women’s house, to find out how Esther was doing, and what would become of her.

And Mordecai H4782 walked H1980 (HithPtc) every day H3117 before H6440 the court H2691 of the women’s H802 house, H1004 to know H3045 (QalInf) how^§ Esther H635 did, H7965 and what should become H6213 (NiphImpf) of her.

The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

And the king H4428 loved H157 (QalImpf) Esther H635 above all the women, H802 and she obtained H5375 (QalImpf) grace H2580 and favour^§ H2617 in his sight^§ H6440 more than all the virgins; H1330 so that he set H7760 (QalImpf) the royal H4438 crown H3804 upon her head, H7218 and made her queen H4427 (HiphImpf) instead of Vashti.

And when inquisition H1245 (PualImpf) was made of the matter, H1697 it was found out; H4672 (NiphImpf) therefore they were both H8147 hanged H8518 (NiphImpf) on a tree: H6086 and it was written H3789 (NiphImpf) in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 H3117 before H6440 the king. H4428

ο δε βασιλευς ητασεν τους δυο ευνουχους και εκρεμασεν αυτους και προσεταξεν ο βασιλευς καταχωρισαι εις μνημοσυνον εν τη βασιλικη βιβλιοθηκη υπερ της ευνοιας μαρδοχαιου εν εγκωμιω

In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, and chose the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

In the first H7223 month, H2320 that is, the month H2320 Nisan, H5212 in the twelfth H8147 H6240 year H8141 of king H4428 Ahasuerus, H325 they cast H5307 (HiphPerf) Pur, H6332 that is, the lot, H1486 before H6440 Haman H2001 from day H3117 to day, H3117 and from month H2320 to month, H2320 to the twelfth H8147 H6240 month, that is, the month H2320 Adar. H143

και εποιησεν ψηφισμα εν ετει δωδεκατω της βασιλειας αρταξερξου και εβαλεν κληρους ημεραν εξ ημερας και μηνα εκ μηνος ωστε απολεσαι εν μια ημερα το γενος μαρδοχαιου και επεσεν ο κληρος εις την τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατην του μηνος ος εστιν αδαρ

He came even before the king’s gate, for no one is allowed inside the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.

and came H935 (QalImpf) even before H6440 the king’s H4428 gate: H8179 for none might enter H935 (QalInf) into the king’s H4428 gate H8179 clothed H3830 with sackcloth. H8242

και ηλθεν εως της πυλης του βασιλεως και εστη ου γαρ ην εξον αυτω εισελθειν εις την αυλην σακκον εχοντι και σποδον

Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs, whom he had appointed to attend her, and commanded him to go to Mordecai, to find out what this was, and why it was.

Then called H7121 (QalImpf) Esther H635 for Hatach, H2047 one of the king’s H4428 chamberlains, H5631 whom he had appointed H5975 (HiphPerf) to attend H6440 upon her,^§ and gave him a commandment H6680 (PielImpf) to Mordecai, H4782 to know H3045 (QalInf) what it was, and why it was.

Esther 4:5 Heb. whom he had set before her

η δε εσθηρ προσεκαλεσατο αχραθαιον τον ευνουχον αυτης ος παρειστηκει αυτη και απεστειλεν μαθειν αυτη παρα του μαρδοχαιου το ακριβες

So Hathach went out to Mordecai, to the city square which was before the king’s gate.

So Hatach H2047 went forth H3318 (QalImpf) to Mordecai H4782 unto the street H7339 of the city, H5892 which was before H6440 the king’s H4428 gate. H8179

He also gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Susa to destroy them, to show it to Esther, and to declare it to her, and to urge her to go in to the king to make supplication to him, and to make request before him for her people.

Also he gave H5414 (QalPerf) him the copy H6572 of the writing H3791 of the decree H1881 that was given H5414 (NiphPerf) at Shushan H7800 to destroy H8045 (HiphInf) them, to shew H7200 (HiphInf) it unto Esther, H635 and to declare H5046 (HiphInf) it unto her, and to charge H6680 (PielInf) her that she should go in H935 (QalInf) unto the king, H4428 to make supplication H2603 (HithInf) unto him, and to make request H1245 (PielInf) before H6440 him for her people. H5971

και το αντιγραφον το εν σουσοις εκτεθεν υπερ του απολεσθαι αυτους εδωκεν αυτω δειξαι τη εσθηρ και ειπεν αυτω εντειλασθαι αυτη εισελθουση παραιτησασθαι τον βασιλεα και αξιωσαι αυτον περι του λαου μνησθεισα ημερων ταπεινωσεως σου ως ετραφης εν χειρι μου διοτι αμαν ο δευτερευων τω βασιλει ελαλησεν καθ ημων εις θανατον επικαλεσαι τον κυριον και λαλησον τω βασιλει περι ημων και ρυσαι ημας εκ θανατου

Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows be made fifty cubits° high, and in the morning speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on it. Then go in merrily with the king to the banquet.” This pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.

Esther 5:14 A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters.

Then said H559 (QalImpf) Zeresh H2238 his wife H802 and all his friends H157 (QalActPtc) unto him, Let a gallows^§ H6086 be made H6213 (QalImpf) of fifty H2572 cubits H520 high, H1364 and to morrow H1242 speak H559 (QalImpv) thou unto the king H4428 that Mordecai H4782 may be hanged H8518 (QalImpf) thereon: then go H935 (QalImpv) thou in merrily H8056 with the king H4428 unto the banquet. H4960 And the thing H1697 pleased H3190 (QalImpf) H6440 Haman; H2001 and he caused H6213 the gallows H6086 to be made. H6213 (QalImpf)

On that night, the king couldn’t sleep. He commanded the book of records of the chronicles to be brought, and they were read to the king.

On that night H3915 could not H5074 (QalPerf) the king H4428 sleep,^§ H8142 and he commanded H559 (QalImpf) to bring H935 (HiphInf) the book H5612 of records H2146 of the chronicles; H1697 H3117 and they were read H7121 (NiphPtc) before H6440 the king. H4428

Esther 6:1 Heb. the kings sleep fled away

Let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delights to honor with them, and have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him, ‘Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!’ ”

and let this apparel H3830 and horse H5483 be delivered H5414 (QalInf) to the hand H3027 of one H376 of the king’s H4428 most noble H6579 princes, H8269 that they may array H3847 (HiphPerf) the man H376 withal whom the king H4428 delighteth H2654 (QalPerf) to honour, H3366 and bring H7392 (HiphPerf) him on horseback^§ H5483 through the street H7339 of the city, H5892 and proclaim H7121 (QalPerf) before H6440 him, Thus shall it be done H6213 (NiphImpf) to the man H376 whom the king H4428 delighteth H2654 (QalPerf) to honour.

Esther 6:9 Heb. cause him to ride

και δοτω ενι των φιλων του βασιλεως των ενδοξων και στολισατω τον ανθρωπον ον ο βασιλευς αγαπα και αναβιβασατω αυτον επι τον ιππον και κηρυσσετω δια της πλατειας της πολεως λεγων ουτως εσται παντι ανθρωπω ον ο βασιλευς δοξαζει

Then Haman took the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and had him ride through the city square, and proclaimed before him, “Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!”

H3366

ελαβεν δε αμαν την στολην και τον ιππον και εστολισεν τον μαρδοχαιον και ανεβιβασεν αυτον επι τον ιππον και διηλθεν δια της πλατειας της πολεως και εκηρυσσεν λεγων ουτως εσται παντι ανθρωπω ον ο βασιλευς θελει δοξασαι

Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him, but you will surely fall before him.”

And Haman H2001 told H5608 (PielImpf) Zeresh H2238 his wife H802 and all his friends H157 (QalActPtc) every thing that had befallen H7136 (QalPerf) him. Then said H559 (QalImpf) his wise men H2450 and Zeresh H2238 his wife H802 unto him, If Mordecai H4782 be of the seed H2233 of the Jews, H3064 before H6440 whom thou hast begun H2490 (HiphPerf) to fall, H5307 (QalInf) thou shalt not prevail H3201 (QalImpf) against him, but shalt surely H5307 (QalInf) fall H5307 (QalImpf) before H6440 him.

και διηγησατο αμαν τα συμβεβηκοτα αυτω ζωσαρα τη γυναικι αυτου και τοις φιλοις και ειπαν προς αυτον οι φιλοι και η γυνη ει εκ γενους ιουδαιων μαρδοχαιος ηρξαι ταπεινουσθαι ενωπιον αυτου πεσων πεση ου μη δυνη αυτον αμυνασθαι οτι θεος ζων μετ αυτου

Esther said, “An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman!” Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

And Esther H635 said, H559 (QalImpf) The adversary^§ H376 H6862 and enemy H341 (QalActPtc) is this wicked H7451 Haman. H2001 Then Haman H2001 was afraid H1204 (NiphPerf) before^§ H6440 the king H4428 and the queen. H4436

Then the king H4428 returned H7725 (QalPerf) out of the palace H1055 garden H1594 into the place H1004 of the banquet H4960 of wine; H3196 and Haman H2001 was fallen H5307 (QalActPtc) upon the bed H4296 whereon Esther H635 was.
