loved

above all the women

grace
<02580>

and favour
<02617>

in his sight
<06440>

more than all the virgins
<01330>_;

so that he set
<07760> (8799)

<04438>

crown
<03804>

upon her head
<07218>_,

and made her queen

Think
<01819> (8762)

not with thyself
<05315>

that thou shalt escape

in the king's
<04428>

There is
<03426>

a certain
<0259>

people
<05971>

scattered abroad
<06340> (8794)

and dispersed
<06504> (8794)

among the people
<05971>

in all the provinces

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

to suffer
<03240> (8687)

them. {for the...: Heb. meet or, equal, etc}

of their foes
<08130> (8802)

seventy
<07657>

and five
<02568>

thousand

but they laid
<07971> (8804)

not their hands
<03027>

on the prey
<0961>_,

to lay
<07971> (8800)

hand
<03027>

on such as sought

So it came to pass, when the king's
<04428>

commandment
<01697>

and his decree
<01881>

was heard
<08085> (8736)_,

and when many

unto Shushan
<07800>

the palace
<01002>_,

to the custody

<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>

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

of the women
<0802>;)

Esther 2:15

2:15

Now when the turn
<08447>

of Esther
<0635>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Abihail
<032>

the uncle
<01730>

of Mordecai
<04782>_,

who had taken
<03947> (8804)

her for his daughter
<01323>_,

was come
<05060> (8687)

to go in
<0935> (8800)

unto the king
<04428>_,

she required
<01245> (8765)

nothing
<01697>

but what Hegai
<01896>

the king's
<04428>

chamberlain
<05631>_,

the keeper
<08104> (8802)

of the women
<0802>_,

appointed
<0559> (8799)_.

And Esther
<0635>

obtained
<05375> (8802)

favour
<02580>

in the sight
<05869>

of all them that looked
<07200> (8802)

upon her.

<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.

Esther 9:22

9:22

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
