1:16

And Memucan
<04462>

answered
<0559> (8799)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>

and the princes
<08269>_,

Vashti
<02060>

the queen
<04436>

hath not done wrong
<05753> (8804)

to the king
<04428>

only, but also to all the princes
<08269>_,

and to all the people
<05971>

that [are] in all the provinces
<04082>

of the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_.

1:17

For [this] deed
<01697>

of the queen
<04436>

shall come abroad
<03318> (8799)

unto all women
<0802>_,

so that they shall despise
<0959> (8687)

their husbands
<01167>

in their eyes
<05869>_,

when it shall be reported
<0559> (8800)_,

The king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>

commanded
<0559> (8804)

Vashti
<02060>

the queen
<04436>

to be brought in
<0935> (8687)

before
<06440>

him, but she came
<0935> (8804)

not.

Esther 2:7

2:7

And he brought up
<0539> (8802)

Hadassah
<01919>_,

that [is], Esther
<0635>_,

his uncle's
<01730>

daughter
<01323>_:

for she had neither father
<01>

nor mother
<0517>_,

and the maid
<05291>

[was] fair
<03303> <08389>

and beautiful
<02896> <04758>_;

whom Mordecai
<04782>_,

when her father
<01>

and mother
<0517>

were dead
<04194>_,

took
<03947> (8804)

for his own daughter
<01323>_.

{brought...: Heb. nourished} {fair...: Heb. fair of form, and good of countenance}

Esther 2:12

2:12

Now when every maid's
<05291>

turn
<08447>

was come
<05060> (8687)

to go in
<0935> (8800)

to king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

after
<07093>

that she had been twelve
<08147> <06240>

months
<02320>_,

according to the manner
<01881>

of the women
<0802>_,

(for so were the days
<03117>

of their purifications
<04795>

accomplished
<04390> (8799)_,

[to wit], six
<08337>

months
<02320>

with oil
<08081>

of myrrh
<04753>_,

and six
<08337>

months
<02320>

with sweet odours
<01314>_,

and with [other] things for the purifying
<08562>

of the women
<0802>;)

Esther 2:14

2:14

In the evening
<06153>

she went
<0935> (8802)_,

and on the morrow
<01242>

she returned
<07725> (8802)

into the second
<08145>

house
<01004>

of the women
<0802>_,

to the custody
<03027>

of Shaashgaz
<08190>_,

the king's
<04428>

chamberlain
<05631>_,

which kept
<08104> (8802)

the concubines
<06370>_:

she came in
<0935> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>

no more, except the king
<04428>

delighted
<02654> (8804)

in her, and that she were called
<07121> (8738)

by name
<08034>_.

Esther 3:2

3:2

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)_.

Esther 3:4

3:4

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>_.

Esther 3:6

3:6

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>_.

Esther 4:14

4:14

For if thou altogether
<02790> (8687)

holdest thy peace
<02790> (8686)

at this time
<06256>_,

[then] shall there enlargement
<07305>

and deliverance
<02020>

arise
<05975> (8799)

to the Jews
<03064>

from another
<0312>

place
<04725>_;

but thou and thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>

shall be destroyed
<06> (8799)_:

and who knoweth
<03045> (8802)

whether thou art come
<05060> (8689)

to the kingdom
<04438>

for [such] a time
<06256>

as this? {enlargement: Heb. respiration}

Esther 5:12

5:12

Haman
<02001>

said
<0559> (8799)

moreover, Yea, Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>

did let no man come in
<0935> (8689)

with the king
<04428>

unto the banquet
<04960>

that she had prepared
<06213> (8804)

but myself; and to morrow
<04279>

am I invited
<07121> (8803)

unto her also with the king
<04428>_.

Esther 6:13

6:13

And Haman
<02001>

told
<05608> (8762)

Zeresh
<02238>

his wife
<0802>

and all his friends
<0157> (8802)

every [thing] that had befallen
<07136> (8804)

him. Then said
<0559> (8799)

his wise men
<02450>

and Zeresh
<02238>

his wife
<0802>

unto him, If Mordecai
<04782>

[be] of the seed
<02233>

of the Jews
<03064>_,

before
<06440>

whom thou hast begun
<02490> (8689)

to fall
<05307> (8800)_,

thou shalt not prevail
<03201> (8799)

against him, but shalt surely
<05307> (8800)

fall
<05307> (8799)

before
<06440>

him.

On that day
<03117>

did the king
<04428>

<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.

Esther 8:8

8:8

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)_.

Esther 8:17

8:17

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.

The Jews

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>_.
