In accordance with the law, the drinking was not compulsory; for so the king had instructed all the officials of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.

And the drinking H8360 was according to the law; H1881 none did compel: H597 (QalActPtc) for so the king H4428 had appointed H3245 (PielPerf) to all the officers H7227 of his house, H1004 that they should do H6213 (QalInf) according to every man’s H376 pleasure. H7522

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.

Today, the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen’s deed will tell all the king’s princes. This will cause much contempt and wrath.

Likewise shall the ladies H8282 of Persia H6539 and Media H4074 say H559 (QalImpf) this day H3117 unto all the king’s H4428 princes, H8269 which have heard H8085 (QalPerf) of the deed H1697 of the queen. H4436 Thus shall there arise too much H1767 contempt H963 and wrath. H7110

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

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.

After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes who were with him.

After H310 these things H1697 did king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 promote H1431 (PielPerf) Haman H2001 the son H1121 of Hammedatha H4099 the Agagite, H91 and advanced H5375 (PielImpf) him, and set H7760 (QalImpf) his seat H3678 above all the princes H8269 that were with him.

μετα δε ταυτα εδοξασεν ο βασιλευς αρταξερξης αμαν αμαδαθου βουγαιον και υψωσεν αυτον και επρωτοβαθρει παντων των φιλων αυτου

All the king’s servants who were in the king’s gate bowed down and paid homage to Haman, for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai didn’t bow down or pay him homage.

And all the king’s H4428 servants, H5650 that were in the king’s H4428 gate, H8179 bowed, H3766 (QalActPtc) and reverenced H7812 (HithPtc) Haman: H2001 for the king H4428 had so commanded H6680 (PielPerf) concerning him. But Mordecai H4782 bowed H3766 (QalImpf) not, nor did him reverence. H7812 (HithImpf)

και παντες οι εν τη αυλη προσεκυνουν αυτω ουτως γαρ προσεταξεν ο βασιλευς ποιησαι ο δε μαρδοχαιος ου προσεκυνει αυτω

But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai’s people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even Mordecai’s people.

And he thought H5869 scorn H959 (QalImpf) to lay H7971 (QalInf) hands H3027 on Mordecai H4782 alone; for they had shewed H5046 (HiphPerf) him the people H5971 of Mordecai: H4782 wherefore Haman H2001 sought H1245 (PielImpf) to destroy H8045 (HiphInf) all the Jews H3064 that were throughout the whole kingdom H4438 of Ahasuerus, H325 even the people H5971 of Mordecai. H4782

και εβουλευσατο αφανισαι παντας τους υπο την αρταξερξου βασιλειαν ιουδαιους

Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different from other people’s. They don’t keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not for the king’s profit to allow them to remain.

And Haman H2001 said H559 (QalImpf) unto king H4428 Ahasuerus, H325 There is H3426 a certain H259 people H5971 scattered abroad H6340 (PualPtc) and dispersed H6504 (PualPtc) among the people H5971 in all the provinces H4082 of thy kingdom; H4438 and their laws H1881 are diverse H8138 (QalActPtc) from all people; H5971 neither keep H6213 (QalActPtc) they the king’s H4428 laws: H1881 therefor^§e it is not for the king’s H4428 profit H7737 (QalActPtc) to suffer H3240 (HiphInf) them.

And the letters H5612 were sent H7971 (NiphInf) by H3027 posts H7323 (QalPtc) into all the king’s H4428 provinces, H4082 to destroy, H8045 (HiphInf) to kill, H2026 (QalInf) and to cause to perish, H6 (PielInf) all Jews, H3064 both young H5288 and old, H2205 little children H2945 and women, H802 in one H259 day, H3117 even upon the thirteenth H7969 H6240 day of the twelfth H8147 H6240 month, H2320 which is the month H2320 Adar, H143 and to take the spoil H7998 of them for a prey.

A copy of the letter, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, that they should be ready against that day.

The copy H6572 of the writing H3791 for a commandment H1881 to be given H5414 (NiphInf) in every province H4082 was published H1540 (QalPasPtc) unto all people, H5971 that they should be ready H6264 against that day. H3117

τα δε αντιγραφα των επιστολων εξετιθετο κατα χωραν και προσεταγη πασι τοις εθνεσιν ετοιμους ειναι εις την ημεραν ταυτην

Now when Mordecai found out all that was done, Mordecai tore his clothes and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the middle of the city, and wailed loudly and bitterly.

When Mordecai H4782 perceived H3045 (QalPerf) all that was done, H6213 (NiphPerf) Mordecai H4782 rent H7167 (QalImpf) his clothes, H899 and put on H3847 (QalImpf) sackcloth H8242 with ashes, H665 and went out H3318 (QalImpf) into the midst H8432 of the city, H5892 and cried H2199 (QalImpf) with a loud H1419 and a bitter H4751 cry; H2201

In every province, wherever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

And in every province, H4082 whithersoever H4725 the king’s H4428 commandment H1697 and his decree H1881 came, H5060 (HiphPtc) there was great H1419 mourning H60 among the Jews, H3064 and fasting, H6685 and weeping, H1065 and wailing; H4553 and many H7227 lay H3331 (HophImpf) in sackcloth H8242 and ashes. H665

και εν παση χωρα ου εξετιθετο τα γραμματα κραυγη και κοπετος και πενθος μεγα τοις ιουδαιοις σακκον και σποδον εστρωσαν εαυτοις

Mordecai told him of all that had happened to him, and the exact sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the destruction of the Jews.

And Mordecai H4782 told H5046 (HiphImpf) him of all that had happened H7136 (QalPerf) unto him, and of the sum H6575 of the money H3701 that Haman H2001 had promised H559 (QalPerf) to pay H8254 (QalInf) to the king’s H4428 treasuries H1595 for the Jews, H3064 to destroy H6 (PielInf) them.

ο δε μαρδοχαιος υπεδειξεν αυτω το γεγονος και την επαγγελιαν ην επηγγειλατο αμαν τω βασιλει εις την γαζαν ταλαντων μυριων ινα απολεση τους ιουδαιους

“All the king’s servants and the people of the king’s provinces know that whoever, whether man or woman, comes to the king into the inner court without being called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king might hold out the golden scepter, that he may live. I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.”

all the king’s H4428 servants, H5650 and the people H5971 of the king’s H4428 provinces, H4082 do know, H3045 (QalActPtc) that whosoever, whether man H376 or woman, H802 shall come H935 (QalImpf) unto the king H4428 into the inner H6442 court, H2691 who is not called, H7121 (NiphImpf) there is one H259 law H1881 of his to put him to death, H4191 (HiphInf) except H905 such to whom the king H4428 shall hold out H3447 (HiphImpf) the golden H2091 sceptre, H8275 that he may live: H2421 (QalPerf) but I have not been called H7121 (NiphPerf) to come in H935 (QalInf) unto the king H4428 these thirty H7970 days. H3117

τα εθνη παντα της βασιλειας γινωσκει οτι πας ανθρωπος η γυνη ος εισελευσεται προς τον βασιλεα εις την αυλην την εσωτεραν ακλητος ουκ εστιν αυτω σωτηρια πλην ω εκτεινει ο βασιλευς την χρυσην ραβδον ουτος σωθησεται καγω ου κεκλημαι εισελθειν προς τον βασιλεα εισιν αυται ημεραι τριακοντα

Then Mordecai asked them to return this answer to Esther: “Don’t think to yourself that you will escape in the king’s house any more than all the Jews.

Then Mordecai H4782 commanded H559 (QalImpf) to answer H7725 (HiphInf) Esther, H635 Think H1819 (PielImpf) not with thyself H5315 that thou shalt escape H4422 (NiphInf) in the king’s H4428 house, H1004 more than all the Jews. H3064

και ειπεν μαρδοχαιος προς αχραθαιον πορευθητι και ειπον αυτη εσθηρ μη ειπης σεαυτη οτι σωθηση μονη εν τη βασιλεια παρα παντας τους ιουδαιους

“Go, gather together all the Jews who are present in Susa, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day. I and my maidens will also fast the same way. Then I will go in to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish.”

Go, H3212 (QalImpv) gather together H3664 (QalImpv) all the Jews H3064 that are present^§ H4672 (NiphPtc) in Shushan, H7800 and fast H6684 (QalImpv) ye for me, and neither eat H398 (QalImpf) nor drink H8354 (QalImpf) three H7969 days, H3117 night H3915 or day: H3117 I also and my maidens H5291 will fast H6684 (QalImpf) likewise; and so H3651 will I go H935 (QalImpf) in unto the king, H4428 which is not according to the law: H1881 and if I perish, H6 (QalPerf) I perish. H6 (QalPerf)

βαδισας εκκλησιασον τους ιουδαιους τους εν σουσοις και νηστευσατε επ εμοι και μη φαγητε μηδε πιητε επι ημερας τρεις νυκτα και ημεραν καγω δε και αι αβραι μου ασιτησομεν και τοτε εισελευσομαι προς τον βασιλεα παρα τον νομον εαν και απολεσθαι με η

So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.

Esther 4:17 Heb. passed

και βαδισας μαρδοχαιος εποιησεν οσα ενετειλατο αυτω εσθηρ

Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, the multitude of his children, all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

και υπεδειξεν αυτοις τον πλουτον αυτου και την δοξαν ην ο βασιλευς αυτω περιεθηκεν και ως εποιησεν αυτον πρωτευειν και ηγεισθαι της βασιλειας

Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”

Yet all this availeth H7737 (QalActPtc) me nothing, so long as H6256 I see H7200 (QalActPtc) Mordecai H4782 the Jew H3064 sitting H3427 (QalActPtc) at the king’s H4428 gate. H8179

και ταυτα μοι ουκ αρεσκει οταν ιδω μαρδοχαιον τον ιουδαιον εν τη αυλη

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.

Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do this for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.”

Then the king H4428 said H559 (QalImpf) to Haman, H2001 Make haste, H4116 (PielImpv) and take H3947 (QalImpv) the apparel H3830 and the horse, H5483 as thou hast said, H1696 (PielPerf) and do H6213 (QalImpv) even so to Mordecai H4782 the Jew, H3064 that sitteth H3427 (QalActPtc) at the king’s H4428 gate: H8179 let nothing H1697 fail^§ H5307 (HiphImpf) of all that thou hast spoken.

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

She said, “If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seems right to the king, and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.

and said, H559 (QalImpf) If it please H2896 the king, H4428 and if I have found H4672 (QalPerf) favour H2580 in his sight, H6440 and the thing H1697 seem right H3787 (QalPerf) before H6440 the king, H4428 and I be pleasing H2896 in his eyes, H5869 let it be written H3789 (NiphImpf) to reverse H7725 (HiphInf) the letters H5612 devised^§ H4284 by Haman H2001 the son H1121 of Hammedatha H4099 the Agagite, H91 which he wrote^§ H3789 (QalPerf) to destroy H6 (PielInf) the Jews H3064 which are in all the king’s H4428 provinces: H4082

στησαι τας ημερας ταυτας αγαθας αγειν τε την τεσσαρεσκαιδεκατην και την πεντεκαιδεκατην του αδαρ
