into every province
<04082>

according to the writing
<03791>

<05971>

after their language

that every man

<01004>_,

and that [it] should be published
<01696> (8764)

appoint
<06485> (8686)

<06496>

in all the provinces

<04438>_,

that they may gather together

all the fair

<01330>

unto Shushan

unto the custody

2:17

And the king
<04428>

loved
<0157> (8799)

Esther
<0635>

above all the women

and she obtained

grace
<02580>

and favour
<02617>

in his sight
<06440>

more than all the virgins
<01330>_;

so that he set
<07760> (8799)

the royal
<04438>

<03804>

upon her head
<07218>_,

and made her queen

<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>_.

3:8

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}

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.

Wherein the king
<04428>

granted
<05414> (8804)

the Jews
<03064>

for their life
<05315>_,

to destroy
<08045> (8687)_,

to slay
<02026> (8800)_,

and to cause to perish

all the power
<02428>

of the people
<05971>

and province
<04082>

that would assault
<06696> (8802)

them, [both] little ones
<02945>

and women

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

the king's

commandment
<01697>

and his decree
<01881>

came
<05060> (8688)_,

<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.

Ahasuerus

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

of them fell

upon all people

and upon all such as joined

themselves unto them, so as it should not fail
