Esther 3:4-8

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}
