Esther 8:1--10:3

On that day
<03117>

did the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>

give
<05414> (8804)

the house
<01004>

of Haman
<02001>

the Jews
<03064>_'

enemy
<06887> (8802)

unto Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>_.

And Mordecai
<04782>

came
<0935> (8804)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_;

for Esther
<0635>

had told
<05046> (8689)

what he [was] unto her.

And the king
<04428>

took off
<05493> (8686)

his ring
<02885>_,

which he had taken
<05674> (8689)

from Haman
<02001>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

it unto Mordecai
<04782>_.

And Esther
<0635>

set
<07760> (8799)

Mordecai
<04782>

over the house
<01004>

of Haman
<02001>_.

And Esther
<0635>

spake
<01696> (8762)

yet again
<03254> (8686)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

and fell down
<05307> (8799)

at
<06440>

his feet
<07272>_,

and besought
<02603> (8691)

him with tears
<01058> (8799)

to put away
<05674> (8687)

the mischief
<07451>

of Haman
<02001>

the Agagite
<091>_,

and his device
<04284>

that he had devised
<02803> (8804)

against the Jews
<03064>_.

{and besought...: Heb. and she wept, and besought him}

Then the king
<04428>

held out
<03447> (8686)

the golden
<02091>

sceptre
<08275>

toward Esther
<0635>_.

So Esther
<0635>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

If it please
<02896>

the king
<04428>_,

and if I have found
<04672> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in his sight
<06440>_,

and the thing
<01697>

[seem] right
<03787> (8804)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

and I [be] pleasing
<02896>

in his eyes
<05869>_,

let it be written
<03789> (8735)

to reverse
<07725> (8687)

the letters
<05612>

devised
<04284>

by Haman
<02001>

the son
<01121>

of Hammedatha
<04099>

the Agagite
<091>_,

which he wrote
<03789> (8804)

to destroy
<06> (8763)

the Jews
<03064>

which [are] in all the king's
<04428>

provinces
<04082>_:

{devised: Heb. the device} {which he...: or, who wrote}

For how
<0349>

can I endure
<03201> (8799)

to see
<07200> (8804)

the evil
<07451>

that shall come
<04672> (8799)

unto my people
<05971>_?

or how
<0349>

can I endure
<03201> (8799)

to see
<07200> (8804)

the destruction
<013>

of my kindred
<04138>_?

{endure...: Heb. be able that I may see}

Then the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>

and to Mordecai
<04782>

the Jew
<03064>_,

Behold, I have given
<05414> (8804)

Esther
<0635>

the house
<01004>

of Haman
<02001>_,

and him they have hanged
<08518> (8804)

upon the gallows
<06086>_,

because he laid
<07971> (8804)

his hand
<03027>

upon the Jews
<03064>_.

Write
<03789> (8798)

ye also for the Jews
<03064>_,

as it liketh
<02896>

you
<05869>_,

in the king's
<04428>

name
<08034>_,

and seal
<02856> (8798)

[it] with the king's
<04428>

ring
<02885>_:

for the writing
<03791>

which is written
<03789> (8737)

in the king's
<04428>

name
<08034>_,

and sealed
<02856> (8737)

with the king's
<04428>

ring
<02885>_,

may no man reverse
<07725> (8687)_.

Then were the king's
<04428>

scribes
<05608> (8802)

called
<07121> (8735)

at that time
<06256>

in the third
<07992>

month
<02320>_,

that [is], the month
<02320>

Sivan
<05510>_,

on the three
<07969>

and twentieth
<06242>

[day] thereof; and it was written
<03789> (8735)

according to all that Mordecai
<04782>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

unto the Jews
<03064>_,

and to the lieutenants
<0323>_,

and the deputies
<06346>

and rulers
<08269>

of the provinces
<04082>

which [are] from India
<01912>

unto Ethiopia
<03568>_,

an hundred
<03967>

twenty
<06242>

and seven
<07651>

provinces
<04082>_,

unto every province
<04082>

according to the writing
<03791>

thereof, and unto every people
<05971>

after their language
<03956>_,

and to the Jews
<03064>

according to their writing
<03791>_,

and according to their language
<03956>_.

And he wrote
<03789> (8799)

in the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_'

name
<08034>_,

and sealed
<02856> (8799)

[it] with the king's
<04428>

ring
<02885>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

letters
<05612>

by
<03027>

posts
<07323> (8801)

on horseback
<05483>_,

[and] riders
<07392> (8802)

on mules
<07409>_,

camels
<0327>_,

[and] young
<01121>

dromedaries
<07424>_:

Wherein the king
<04428>

granted
<05414> (8804)

the Jews
<03064>

which [were] in every city
<05892>

to gather themselves together
<06950> (8736)_,

and to stand
<05975> (8800)

for their life
<05315>_,

to destroy
<08045> (8687)_,

to slay
<02026> (8800)_,

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

all the power
<02428>

of the people
<05971>

and province
<04082>

that would assault
<06696> (8802)

them, [both] little ones
<02945>

and women
<0802>_,

and [to take] the spoil
<07998>

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

Upon one
<0259>

day
<03117>

in all the provinces
<04082>

of king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

[namely], upon the thirteenth
<07969> <06240>

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

month
<02320>_,

which [is] the month
<02320>

Adar
<0143>_.

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>_,

and that the Jews
<03064>

should be ready
<06264> (8675) <06259>

against that day
<03117>

to avenge
<05358> (8736)

themselves on their enemies
<0341> (8802)_.

{published: Heb. revealed}

[So] the posts
<07323> (8801)

that rode
<07392> (8802)

upon mules
<07409>

[and] camels
<0327>

went out
<03318> (8804)_,

being hastened
<0926> (8794)

and pressed on
<01765> (8803)

by the king's
<04428>

commandment
<01697>_.

And the decree
<01881>

was given
<05414> (8738)

at Shushan
<07800>

the palace
<01002>_.

And Mordecai
<04782>

went out
<03318> (8804)

from the presence
<06440>

of the king
<04428>

in royal
<04438>

apparel
<03830>

of blue
<08504>

and white
<02353>_,

and with a great
<01419>

crown
<05850>

of gold
<02091>_,

and with a garment
<08509>

of fine linen
<0948>

and purple
<0713>_:

and the city
<05892>

of Shushan
<07800>

rejoiced
<06670> (8804)

and was glad
<08056>_.

{blue: or, violet}

The Jews
<03064>

had light
<0219>_,

and gladness
<08057>_,

and joy
<08342>_,

and honour
<03366>_.

And in every province
<04082>_,

and in every city
<05892>_,

whithersoever
<04725>

the king's
<04428>

commandment
<01697>

and his decree
<01881>

came
<05060> (8688)_,

the Jews
<03064>

had joy
<08057>

and gladness
<08342>_,

a feast
<04960>

and a good
<02896>

day
<03117>_.

And many
<07227>

of the people
<05971>

of the land
<0776>

became Jews
<03054> (8693)_;

for the fear
<06343>

of the Jews
<03064>

fell
<05307> (8804)

upon them.

Now in the twelfth
<08147> <06240>

month
<02320>_,

that [is], the month
<02320>

Adar
<0143>_,

on the thirteenth
<07969> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the same, when the king's
<04428>

commandment
<01697>

and his decree
<01881>

drew near
<05060> (8689)

to be put in execution
<06213> (8736)_,

in the day
<03117>

that the enemies
<0341> (8802)

of the Jews
<03064>

hoped
<07663> (8765)

to have power
<07980> (8800)

over them, (though it was turned
<02015> (8736)

to the contrary, that the Jews
<03064>

had rule
<07980> (8799)

over them that hated
<08130> (8802)

them;)

The Jews
<03064>

gathered themselves together
<06950> (8738)

in their cities
<05892>

throughout all the provinces
<04082>

of the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

to lay
<07971> (8800)

hand
<03027>

on such as sought
<01245> (8764)

their hurt
<07451>_:

and no man
<0376>

could withstand
<05975> (8804)

them
<06440>_;

for the fear
<06343>

of them fell
<05307> (8804)

upon all people
<05971>_.

And all the rulers
<08269>

of the provinces
<04082>_,

and the lieutenants
<0323>_,

and the deputies
<06346>_,

and officers
<06213> (8802) <04399>

of the king
<04428>_,

helped
<05375> (8764)

the Jews
<03064>_;

because the fear
<06343>

of Mordecai
<04782>

fell
<05307> (8804)

upon them. {officers...: Heb. those which did the business that belonged to the king}

For Mordecai
<04782>

[was] great
<01419>

in the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

and his fame
<08089>

went out
<01980> (8802)

throughout all the provinces
<04082>_:

for this man
<0376>

Mordecai
<04782>

waxed
<01980> (8802)

greater and greater
<01419>_.

Thus the Jews
<03064>

smote
<05221> (8686)

all their enemies
<0341> (8802)

with the stroke
<04347>

of the sword
<02719>_,

and slaughter
<02027>_,

and destruction
<012>_,

and did
<06213> (8799)

what they would
<07522>

unto those that hated
<08130> (8802)

them. {what...: Heb. according to their will}

And in Shushan
<07800>

the palace
<01002>

the Jews
<03064>

slew
<02026> (8804)

and destroyed
<06> (8763)

five
<02568>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_.

And Parshandatha
<06577>_,

and Dalphon
<01813>_,

and Aspatha
<0630>_,

And Poratha
<06334>_,

and Adalia
<0118>_,

and Aridatha
<0743>_,

And Parmashta
<06534>_,

and Arisai
<0747>_,

and Aridai
<0742>_,

and Vajezatha
<02055>_,

The ten
<06235>

sons
<01121>

of Haman
<02001>

the son
<01121>

of Hammedatha
<04099>_,

the enemy
<06887> (8802)

of the Jews
<03064>_,

slew
<02026> (8804)

they; but on the spoil
<0961>

laid
<07971> (8804)

they not their hand
<03027>_.

On that day
<03117>

the number
<04557>

of those that were slain
<02026> (8803)

in Shushan
<07800>

the palace
<01002>

was brought
<0935> (8804)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

{was...: Heb. came}

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>_,

The Jews
<03064>

have slain
<02026> (8804)

and destroyed
<06> (8763)

five
<02568>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

in Shushan
<07800>

the palace
<01002>_,

and the ten
<06235>

sons
<01121>

of Haman
<02001>_;

what have they done
<06213> (8804)

in the rest
<07605>

of the king's
<04428>

provinces
<04082>_?

now what [is] thy petition
<07596>_?

and it shall be granted
<05414> (8735)

thee: or what [is] thy request
<01246>

further
<05750>_?

and it shall be done
<06213> (8735)_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Esther
<0635>_,

If it please
<02896>

the king
<04428>_,

let it be granted
<05414> (8735)

to the Jews
<03064>

which [are] in Shushan
<07800>

to do
<06213> (8800)

to morrow
<04279>

also according unto this day's
<03117>

decree
<01881>_,

and let Haman's
<02001>

ten
<06235>

sons
<01121>

be hanged
<08518> (8799)

upon the gallows
<06086>_.

{let Haman's...: Heb. let men hang, etc}

And the king
<04428>

commanded
<0559> (8799)

it so to be done
<06213> (8736)_:

and the decree
<01881>

was given
<05414> (8735)

at Shushan
<07800>_;

and they hanged
<08518> (8804)

Haman's
<02001>

ten
<06235>

sons
<01121>_.

For the Jews
<03064>

that [were] in Shushan
<07800>

gathered themselves together
<06950> (8735)

on the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

day
<03117>

also of the month
<02320>

Adar
<0143>_,

and slew
<02026> (8799)

three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

at Shushan
<07800>_;

but on the prey
<0961>

they laid
<07971> (8804)

not their hand
<03027>_.

But the other
<07605>

Jews
<03064>

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

provinces
<04082>

gathered themselves together
<06950> (8738)_,

and stood
<05975> (8800)

for their lives
<05315>_,

and had rest
<05118>

from their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and slew
<02026> (8800)

of their foes
<08130> (8802)

seventy
<07657>

and five
<02568>

thousand
<0505>_,

but they laid
<07971> (8804)

not their hands
<03027>

on the prey
<0961>_,

On the thirteenth
<07969> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the month
<02320>

Adar
<0143>_;

and on the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

day of the same rested
<05118>

they, and made
<06213> (8800)

it a day
<03117>

of feasting
<04960>

and gladness
<08057>_.

{of the same: Heb. in it}

But the Jews
<03064>

that [were] at Shushan
<07800>

assembled together
<06950> (8738)

on the thirteenth
<07969> <06240>

[day] thereof, and on the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

thereof; and on the fifteenth
<02568> <06240>

[day] of the same they rested

and made
<06213> (8800)

it a day
<03117>

of feasting
<04960>

and gladness
<08057>_.

Therefore the Jews
<03064>

of the villages
<06521>_,

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in the unwalled
<06519>

towns
<05892>_,

made
<06213> (8802)

the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the month
<02320>

Adar
<0143>

[a day of] gladness

and feasting
<04960>_,

and a good
<02896>

day
<03117>_,

and of sending
<04916>

portions
<04490>

one
<0376>

to another
<07453>_.

And Mordecai
<04782>

wrote
<03789> (8799)

these things
<01697>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

letters
<05612>

unto all the Jews
<03064>

that [were] in all the provinces
<04082>

of the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

[both] nigh
<07138>

and far
<07350>_,

To stablish
<06965> (8763)

[this] among them, that they should keep
<06213> (8802)

the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the month
<02320>

Adar
<0143>_,

and the fifteenth
<02568> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the same, yearly
<08141> <08141>_,

As the days
<03117>

wherein the Jews
<03064>

rested
<05117> (8804)

from their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and the month
<02320>

which was turned
<02015> (8738)

unto them from sorrow
<03015>

to joy
<08057>_,

and from mourning
<060>

into a good
<02896>

day
<03117>_:

that they should make
<06213> (8800)

them days
<03117>

of feasting
<04960>

and joy
<08057>_,

and of sending
<04916>

portions
<04490>

one
<0376>

to another
<07453>_,

and gifts
<04979>

to the poor
<034>_.

And the Jews
<03064>

undertook
<06901> (8765)

to do
<06213> (8800)

as they had begun
<02490> (8689)_,

and as Mordecai
<04782>

had written
<03789> (8804)

unto them;

Because Haman
<02001>

the son
<01121>

of Hammedatha
<04099>_,

the Agagite
<091>_,

the enemy
<06887> (8802)

of all the Jews
<03064>_,

had devised
<02803> (8804)

against the Jews
<03064>

to destroy
<06> (8763)

them, and had cast
<05307> (8689)

Pur
<06332>_,

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

to consume
<02000> (8800)

them, and to destroy
<06> (8763)

them; {consume: Heb. crush}

But when [Esther] came
<0935> (8800)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

he commanded
<0559> (8804)

by letters
<05612>

that his wicked
<07451>

device
<04284>_,

which he devised
<02803> (8804)

against the Jews
<03064>_,

should return
<07725> (8799)

upon his own head
<07218>_,

and that he and his sons
<01121>

should be hanged
<08518> (8804)

on the gallows
<06086>_.

{when...: Heb. when she came}

Wherefore they called
<07121> (8804)

these days
<03117>

Purim
<06332>

after the name
<08034>

of Pur
<06332>_.

Therefore for all the words
<01697>

of this letter
<0107>_,

and [of that] which they had seen
<07200> (8804)

concerning this matter
<03602>_,

and which had come
<05060> (8689)

unto them, {Pur: that is, Lot}

The Jews
<03064>

ordained
<06965> (8765)_,

and took
<06901> (8765)

upon them, and upon their seed
<02233>_,

and upon all such as joined
<03867> (8737)

themselves unto them, so as it should not fail
<05674> (8799)_,

that they would keep
<06213> (8802)

these two
<08147>

days
<03117>

according to their writing
<03791>_,

and according to their [appointed] time
<02165>

every year
<08141> <08141>_;

{fail: Heb. pass}

And [that] these days
<03117>

[should be] remembered
<02142> (8737)

and kept
<06213> (8737)

throughout
<01755>

every generation
<01755>_,

every family
<04940>_,

every province
<04082>_,

and every city
<05892>_;

and [that] these days
<03117>

of Purim
<06332>

should not fail
<05674> (8799)

from among
<08432>

the Jews
<03064>_,

nor the memorial
<02143>

of them perish
<05486> (8799)

from their seed
<02233>_.

{fail: Heb. pass} {perish: Heb. be ended}

Then Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Abihail
<032>_,

and Mordecai
<04782>

the Jew
<03064>_,

wrote
<03789> (8799)

with all authority
<08633>_,

to confirm
<06965> (8763)

this second
<08145>

letter
<0107>

of Purim
<06332>_.

{authority: Heb. strength}

And he sent
<07971> (8799)

the letters
<05612>

unto all the Jews
<03064>_,

to the hundred
<03967>

twenty
<06242>

and seven
<07651>

provinces
<04082>

of the kingdom
<04438>

of Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

[with] words
<01697>

of peace
<07965>

and truth
<0571>_,

To confirm
<06965> (8763)

these days
<03117>

of Purim
<06332>

in their times
<02165>

[appointed], according as Mordecai
<04782>

the Jew
<03064>

and Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>

had enjoined
<06965> (8765)

them, and as they had decreed
<06965> (8765)

for themselves
<05315>

and for their seed
<02233>_,

the matters
<01697>

of the fastings
<06685>

and their cry
<02201>_.

{themselves: Heb. their souls}

And the decree
<03982>

of Esther
<0635>

confirmed
<06965> (8765)

these matters
<01697>

of Purim
<06332>_;

and it was written
<03789> (8737)

in the book
<05612>_.

And the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>

laid
<07760> (8799)

a tribute
<04522>

upon the land
<0776>_,

and [upon] the isles
<0339>

of the sea
<03220>_.

And all the acts
<04639>

of his power
<08633>

and of his might
<01369>_,

and the declaration
<06575>

of the greatness
<01420>

of Mordecai
<04782>_,

whereunto the king
<04428>

advanced
<01431> (8765)

him, [are] they not written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>

of the kings
<04428>

of Media
<04074>

and Persia
<06539>_?

{advanced...: Heb. made him great}

For Mordecai
<04782>

the Jew
<03064>

[was] next
<04932>

unto king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

and great
<01419>

among the Jews
<03064>_,

and accepted
<07521> (8803)

of the multitude
<07230>

of his brethren
<0251>_,

seeking
<01875> (8802)

the wealth
<02896>

of his people
<05971>_,

and speaking
<01696> (8802)

peace
<07965>

to all his seed
<02233>_.
