And he brought up^§ H539 (QalActPtc) Hadassah, H1919 that is, Esther, H635 his uncle’s H1730 daughter: H1323 for she had neither father H1 nor mother, H517 and the maid H5291 was fair H3303 H8389 and beautiful;^§ H2896 H4758 whom Mordecai, H4782 when her father H1 and mother H517 were dead, H4194 took H3947 (QalPerf) for his own daughter.

So it came to pass, when the king’s H4428 commandment H1697 and his decree H1881 was heard, H8085 (NiphInf) and when many H7227 maidens H5291 were gathered together H6908 (NiphInf) unto Shushan H7800 the palace, H1002 to the custody H3027 of Hegai, H1896 that Esther H635 was brought H3947 (NiphImpf) also unto the king’s H4428 house, H1004 to the custody H3027 of Hegai, H1896 keeper H8104 (QalActPtc) of the women.

και οτε ηκουσθη το του βασιλεως προσταγμα συνηχθησαν κορασια πολλα εις σουσαν την πολιν υπο χειρα γαι και ηχθη εσθηρ προς γαι τον φυλακα των γυναικων

Each young woman’s turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after her purification for twelve months (for so were the days of their purification accomplished, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet fragrances and with preparations for beautifying women).

Now when every maid’s H5291 turn H8447 was come H5060 (HiphInf) to go in H935 (QalInf) to king H4428 Ahasuerus, H325 after H7093 that she had been twelve H8147 H6240 months, H2320 according to the manner H1881 of the women, H802 (for so were the days H3117 of their purifications H4795 accomplished, H4390 (QalImpf) to wit, six H8337 months H2320 with oil H8081 of myrrh, H4753 and six H8337 months H2320 with sweet odours, H1314 and with other things for the purifying H8562 of the women;) H802

ουτος δε ην καιρος κορασιου εισελθειν προς τον βασιλεα οταν αναπληρωση μηνας δεκα δυο ουτως γαρ αναπληρουνται αι ημεραι της θεραπειας μηνας εξ αλειφομεναι εν σμυρνινω ελαιω και μηνας εξ εν τοις αρωμασιν και εν τοις σμηγμασιν των γυναικων

Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s eunuch, the keeper of the women, advised. Esther obtained favor in the sight of all those who looked at her.

Now when the turn H8447 of Esther, H635 the daughter H1323 of Abihail H32 the uncle H1730 of Mordecai, H4782 who had taken H3947 (QalPerf) her for his daughter, H1323 was come H5060 (HiphInf) to go in H935 (QalInf) unto the king, H4428 she required H1245 (PielPerf) nothing H1697 but what Hegai H1896 the king’s H4428 chamberlain, H5631 the keeper H8104 (QalActPtc) of the women, H802 appointed. H559 (QalImpf) And Esther H635 obtained H5375 (QalActPtc) favour H2580 in the sight H5869 of all them that looked H7200 (QalActPtc) upon her.

εν δε τω αναπληρουσθαι τον χρονον εσθηρ της θυγατρος αμιναδαβ αδελφου πατρος μαρδοχαιου εισελθειν προς τον βασιλεα ουδεν ηθετησεν ων αυτη ενετειλατο ο ευνουχος ο φυλαξ των γυναικων ην γαρ εσθηρ ευρισκουσα χαριν παρα παντων των βλεποντων αυτην

Esther had not yet made known her relatives nor her people, as Mordecai had commanded her; for Esther obeyed Mordecai, like she did when she was brought up by him.

Esther H635 had not yet shewed H5046 (HiphPtc) her kindred H4138 nor her people; H5971 as Mordecai H4782 had charged H6680 (PielPerf) her: for Esther H635 did H6213 (QalActPtc) the commandment H3982 of Mordecai, H4782 like as when she was brought up H545 with him.

η δε εσθηρ ουχ υπεδειξεν την πατριδα αυτης ουτως γαρ ενετειλατο αυτη μαρδοχαιος φοβεισθαι τον θεον και ποιειν τα προσταγματα αυτου καθως ην μετ αυτου και εσθηρ ου μετηλλαξεν την αγωγην αυτης

Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he didn’t listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.

Now it came to pass, when they spake H559 (QalInf) daily H3117 H3117 unto him, and he hearkened H8085 (QalPerf) not unto them, that they told H5046 (HiphImpf) Haman, H2001 to see H7200 (QalInf) whether Mordecai’s H4782 matters H1697 would stand: H5975 (QalImpf) for he had told H5046 (HiphPerf) them that he was a Jew. H3064

καθ εκαστην ημεραν ελαλουν αυτω και ουχ υπηκουεν αυτων και υπεδειξαν τω αμαν μαρδοχαιον τοις του βασιλεως λογοις αντιτασσομενον και υπεδειξεν αυτοις ο μαρδοχαιος οτι ιουδαιος εστιν

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.

It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts.” Job did so continually.

And it was so, when the days H3117 of their feasting H4960 were gone about, H5362 (HiphPerf) that Job H347 sent H7971 (QalImpf) and sanctified H6942 (PielImpf) them, and rose up early H7925 (HiphPerf) in the morning, H1242 and offered H5927 (HiphPerf) burnt offerings H5930 according to the number H4557 of them all: for Job H347 said, H559 (QalPerf) It may be H194 that my sons H1121 have sinned, H2398 (QalPerf) and cursed H1288 (PielPerf) God H430 in their hearts.

και ην ως η ημερα αυτη οι υιοι ιωβ και αι θυγατερες αυτου επινον οινον εν τη οικια του αδελφου αυτων του πρεσβυτερου

that a messenger came to Job, and said, “The oxen were plowing, and the donkeys feeding beside them,

and there came H935 (QalPerf) a messenger H4397 unto Job, H347 and said, H559 (QalImpf) The oxen H1241 were plowing, H2790 (QalActPtc) and the asses H860 feeding H7462 (QalActPtc) beside H3027 them:

και ιδου αγγελος ηλθεν προς ιωβ και ειπεν αυτω τα ζευγη των βοων ηροτρια και αι θηλειαι ονοι εβοσκοντο εχομεναι αυτων

He said, “Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked will I return there. Yahweh gave, and Yahweh has taken away. Blessed be Yahweh’s name.”

and said, H559 (QalImpf) Naked H6174 came I out H3318 (QalPerf) of my mother’s H517 womb, H990 and naked H6174 shall I return H7725 (QalImpf) thither: the Lord H3068 gave, H5414 (QalPerf) and the Lord H3068 hath taken away; H3947 (QalPerf) blessed H1288 (PualPtc) be the name H8034 of the Lord. H3068

αυτος γυμνος εξηλθον εκ κοιλιας μητρος μου γυμνος και απελευσομαι εκει ο κυριος εδωκεν ο κυριος αφειλατο ως τω κυριω εδοξεν ουτως και εγενετο ειη το ονομα κυριου ευλογημενον

Again, on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, Satan came also among them to present himself before Yahweh.

εγενετο δε ως η ημερα αυτη και ηλθον οι αγγελοι του θεου παραστηναι εναντι κυριου και ο διαβολος ηλθεν εν μεσω αυτων παραστηναι εναντιον του κυριου

Let that day be darkness. Don’t let God from above seek for it, neither let the light shine on it.

Let that day H3117 be darkness; H2822 Let not God H433 regard H1875 (QalImpf) it from above, H4605 Neither let the light H5105 shine H3313 (HiphImpf) upon it.

η ημερα εκεινη ειη σκοτος και μη αναζητησαι αυτην ο κυριος ανωθεν μηδε ελθοι εις αυτην φεγγος

Behold, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein.

Lo, let that night H3915 be solitary, H1565 Let no joyful voice H7445 come H935 (QalImpf) therein.

αλλα η νυξ εκεινη ειη οδυνη και μη ελθοι επ αυτην ευφροσυνη μηδε χαρμονη

or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.

Or as an hidden H2934 (QalPasPtc) untimely birth H5309 I had not been; As infants H5768 which never saw H7200 (QalPerf) light. H216

η ωσπερ εκτρωμα εκπορευομενον εκ μητρας μητρος η ωσπερ νηπιοι οι ουκ ειδον φως

So the poor has hope, and injustice shuts her mouth.

So the poor H1800 hath hope, H8615 And iniquity H5766 stoppeth H7092 (QalPerf) her mouth. H6310

ειη δε αδυνατω ελπις αδικου δε στομα εμφραχθειη

Let it still be my consolation, yes, let me exult in pain that doesn’t spare, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

Then should I yet have comfort; H5165 Yea, I would harden H5539 (PielImpf) myself in sorrow: H2427 let him not spare; H2550 (QalImpf) For I have not concealed H3582 (PielPerf) the words H561 of the Holy One. H6918

ειη δε μου πολις ταφος εφ ης επι τειχεων ηλλομην επ αυτης ου μη φεισωμαι ου γαρ εψευσαμην ρηματα αγια θεου μου

For now you are nothing. You see a terror, and are afraid.

For now ye are^§ nothing;^§ Ye see H7200 (QalImpf) my casting down, H2866 and are afraid. H3372 (QalImpf)

Job 6:21a Or, for now ye are like to them

αταρ δε και υμεις επεβητε μοι ανελεημονως ωστε ιδοντες το εμον τραυμα φοβηθητε

Please return. Let there be no injustice. Yes, return again. My cause is righteous.

Return, H7725 (QalImpv) I pray you, let it not be iniquity; H5766 Yea, return again, H7725 (QalImpv) my righteousness H6664 is in it.°

Job 6:29 That is, in this matter

καθισατε δη και μη ειη αδικον και παλιν τω δικαιω συνερχεσθε

If I have sinned, what do I do to you, you watcher of men? Why have you set me as a mark for you, so that I am a burden to myself?

I have sinned; H2398 (QalPerf) what shall I do H6466 (QalImpf) unto thee, O thou preserver H5341 (QalActPtc) of men? H120 Why hast thou set H7760 (QalPerf) me as a mark H4645 against thee, So that I am a burden H4853 to myself?

ει εγω ημαρτον τι δυναμαι σοι πραξαι ο επισταμενος τον νουν των ανθρωπων δια τι εθου με κατεντευκτην σου ειμι δε επι σοι φορτιον

Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.

Though thy beginning H7225 was small, H4705 Yet thy latter end H319 should greatly H3966 increase. H7685 (QalImpf)

εσται ουν τα μεν πρωτα σου ολιγα τα δε εσχατα σου αμυθητα

I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried H2986 (HophImpf) from the womb H990 to the grave. H6913

και ωσπερ ουκ ων εγενομην δια τι γαρ εκ γαστρος εις μνημα ουκ απηλλαγην

For you say, ‘My doctrine is pure. I am clean in your eyes.’

For thou hast said, H559 (QalImpf) My doctrine H3948 is pure, H2134 And I am clean H1249 in thine eyes. H5869

μη γαρ λεγε οτι καθαρος ειμι τοις εργοις και αμεμπτος εναντιον αυτου

Surely then you will lift up your face without spot. Yes, you will be steadfast, and will not fear,

For then shalt thou lift up H5375 (QalImpf) thy face H6440 without spot; H3971 Yea, thou shalt be stedfast, H3332 (HophPtc) and shalt not fear: H3372 (QalImpf)

ουτως γαρ αναλαμψει σου το προσωπον ωσπερ υδωρ καθαρον εκδυση δε ρυπον και ου μη φοβηθης

Life will be clearer than the noonday. Though there is darkness, it will be as the morning.

And thine age H2465 shall be clearer H6965 (QalImpf) than the noonday; H6672 Thou shalt shine forth, H5774 (QalImpf) thou shalt be as the morning. H1242
