Esther 3

After
<0310>

these things
<01697>

did king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>

promote
<01431> (8765)

Haman
<02001>

the son
<01121>

of Hammedatha
<04099>

the Agagite
<091>_,

and advanced
<05375> (8762)

him, and set
<07760> (8799)

his seat
<03678>

above all the princes
<08269>

that [were] with him.

And all the king's
<04428>

servants
<05650>_,

that [were] in the king's
<04428>

gate
<08179>_,

bowed
<03766> (8802)_,

and reverenced
<07812> (8693)

Haman
<02001>_:

for the king
<04428>

had so commanded
<06680> (8765)

concerning him. But Mordecai
<04782>

bowed
<03766> (8799)

not, nor did [him] reverence
<07812> (8691)_.

Then the king's
<04428>

servants
<05650>_,

which [were] in the king's
<04428>

gate
<08179>_,

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Mordecai
<04782>_,

Why transgressest
<05674> (8802)

thou the king's
<04428>

commandment
<04687>_?

Now it came to pass, when they spake
<0559> (8800)

daily
<03117> <03117>

unto him, and he hearkened
<08085> (8804)

not unto them, that they told
<05046> (8686)

Haman
<02001>_,

to see
<07200> (8800)

whether Mordecai's
<04782>

matters
<01697>

would stand
<05975> (8799)_:

for he had told
<05046> (8689)

them that he [was] a Jew
<03064>_.

And when Haman
<02001>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that Mordecai
<04782>

bowed
<03766> (8802)

not, nor did him reverence
<07812> (8693)_,

then was Haman
<02001>

full
<04390> (8735)

of wrath
<02534>_.

And he thought
<05869>

scorn
<0959> (8799)

to lay
<07971> (8800)

hands
<03027>

on Mordecai
<04782>

alone; for they had shewed
<05046> (8689)

him the people
<05971>

of Mordecai
<04782>_:

wherefore Haman
<02001>

sought
<01245> (8762)

to destroy
<08045> (8687)

all the Jews
<03064>

that [were] throughout the whole kingdom
<04438>

of Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

[even] the people
<05971>

of Mordecai
<04782>_.

In the first
<07223>

month
<02320>_,

that [is], the month
<02320>

Nisan
<05212>_,

in the twelfth
<08147> <06240>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

they cast
<05307> (8689)

Pur
<06332>_,

that [is], the lot
<01486>_,

before
<06440>

Haman
<02001>

from day
<03117>

to day
<03117>_,

and from month
<02320>

to month
<02320>_,

[to] the twelfth
<08147> <06240>

[month], that [is], the month
<02320>

Adar
<0143>_.

And Haman
<02001>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

There is
<03426>

a certain
<0259>

people
<05971>

scattered abroad
<06340> (8794)

and dispersed
<06504> (8794)

among the people
<05971>

in all the provinces
<04082>

of thy kingdom
<04438>_;

and their laws
<01881>

[are] diverse
<08138> (8802)

from all people
<05971>_;

neither keep
<06213> (8802)

they the king's
<04428>

laws
<01881>_:

therefore it [is] not for the king's
<04428>

profit
<07737> (8802)

to suffer
<03240> (8687)

them. {for the...: Heb. meet or, equal, etc}

If it please
<02895> (8804)

the king
<04428>_,

let it be written
<03789> (8735)

that they may be destroyed
<06> (8763)_:

and I will pay
<08254> (8799)

ten
<06235>

thousand
<0505>

talents
<03603>

of silver
<03701>

to the hands
<03027>

of those that have the charge
<06213> (8802)

of the business
<04399>_,

to bring
<0935> (8687)

[it] into the king's
<04428>

treasuries
<01595>_.

{that they...: Heb. to destroy them} {pay: Heb. weigh}

And the king
<04428>

took
<05493> (8686)

his ring
<02885>

from his hand
<03027>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

it unto Haman
<02001>

the son
<01121>

of Hammedatha
<04099>

the Agagite
<091>_,

the Jews
<03064>_'

enemy
<06887> (8802)_.

{enemy: or, oppressor}

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Haman
<02001>_,

The silver
<03701>

[is] given
<05414> (8803)

to thee, the people
<05971>

also, to do
<06213> (8800)

with them as it seemeth
<05869>

good
<02896>

to thee.

Then were the king's
<04428>

scribes
<05608> (8802)

called
<07121> (8735)

on the thirteenth
<07969> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the first
<07223>

month
<02320>_,

and there was written
<03789> (8735)

according to all that Haman
<02001>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)

unto the king's
<04428>

lieutenants
<0323>_,

and to the governors
<06346>

that [were] over every province
<04082>_,

and to the rulers
<08269>

of every people
<05971>

of every province
<04082>

according to the writing
<03791>

thereof, and [to] every people
<05971>

after their language
<03956>_;

in the name
<08034>

of king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>

was it written
<03789> (8737)_,

and sealed
<02856> (8738)

with the king's
<04428>

ring
<02885>_.

{scribes: or, secretaries}

And the letters
<05612>

were sent
<07971> (8736)

by
<03027>

posts
<07323> (8801)

into all the king's
<04428>

provinces
<04082>_,

to destroy
<08045> (8687)_,

to kill
<02026> (8800)_,

and to cause to perish
<06> (8763)_,

all Jews
<03064>_,

both young
<05288>

and old
<02205>_,

little children
<02945>

and women
<0802>_,

in one
<0259>

day
<03117>_,

[even] upon the thirteenth
<07969> <06240>

[day] of the twelfth
<08147> <06240>

month
<02320>_,

which is the month
<02320>

Adar
<0143>_,

and [to take] the spoil
<07998>

of them for a prey
<0962> (8800)_.

The copy
<06572>

of the writing
<03791>

for a commandment
<01881>

to be given
<05414> (8736)

in every province
<04082>

was published
<01540> (8803)

unto all people
<05971>_,

that they should be ready
<06264>

against that day
<03117>_.

The posts
<07323> (8801)

went out
<03318> (8804)_,

being hastened
<01765> (8803)

by the king's
<04428>

commandment
<01697>_,

and the decree
<01881>

was given
<05414> (8738)

in Shushan
<07800>

the palace
<01002>_.

And the king
<04428>

and Haman
<02001>

sat down
<03427> (8804)

to drink
<08354> (8800)_;

but the city
<05892>

Shushan
<07800>

was perplexed
<0943> (8737)_.
