into every province

according to the writing

after their language

his uncle's
<01730>

daughter
<01323>_:

<0517>_,

and the maid
<05291>

[was] fair
<03303> <08389>

and beautiful

were gathered together
<06908> (8736)

unto Shushan
<07800>

the palace
<01002>_,

to the custody
<03027>

of Hegai
<01896>_,

that Esther
<0635>

was brought
<03947> (8735)

also unto the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

to the custody

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

Esther
<0635>

had not [yet] shewed
<05046> (8688)

her kindred
<04138>

nor her people
<05971>_;

as Mordecai
<04782>

had charged
<06680> (8765)

her: for Esther
<0635>

did
<06213> (8802)

the commandment
<03982>

of Mordecai
<04782>_,

like as when she was brought up
<0545>

with him.

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 5:1-2

5:1

Now it came to pass on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_,

that Esther
<0635>

put on
<03847> (8799)

[her] royal
<04438>

[apparel], and stood
<05975> (8799)

in the inner
<06442>

court
<02691>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

over against
<05227>

the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_:

and the king
<04428>

sat
<03427> (8802)

upon his royal
<04438>

throne
<03678>

in the royal
<04438>

house
<01004>_,

over against
<05227>

the gate
<06607>

of the house
<01004>_.

5:2

And it was so, when the king
<04428>

saw
<07200> (8800)

Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>

standing
<05975> (8802)

in the court
<02691>_,

[that] she obtained
<05375> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in his sight
<05869>_:

and the king
<04428>

held out
<03447> (8686)

to Esther
<0635>

the golden
<02091>

sceptre
<08275>

that [was] in his hand
<03027>_.

So Esther
<0635>

drew near
<07126> (8799)_,

and touched
<05060> (8799)

the top
<07218>

of the sceptre
<08275>_.

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>_;
