Esther 8:5-17

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>_,

<08147> <06240>

month
<02320>_,

which [is] the month
<02320>

<0143>_.

The copy
<06572>

of the writing
<03791>

for a commandment
<01881>

to be given
<05414> (8736)

in every province

<01540> (8803)

<0341> (8802)_.

{published: Heb. revealed}

[So] the posts
<07323> (8801)

that rode
<07392> (8802)

upon mules
<07409>

[and] camels
<0327>

<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>

<03830>

<05892>_,

whithersoever
<04725>
