Esther 3:1

3:1

After
<0310>

these things
<01697>

did king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>

promote
<01431> (8765)

Haman
<02001>

the son
<01121>

of Hammedatha
<04099>

the Agagite
<091>_,

and advanced
<05375> (8762)

him, and set
<07760> (8799)

his seat
<03678>

above all the princes
<08269>

that [were] with him.

Esther 3:6-8

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>_.

3:7

In the first
<07223>

month
<02320>_,

that [is], the month
<02320>

Nisan
<05212>_,

in the twelfth
<08147> <06240>

year
<08141>

of king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

they cast
<05307> (8689)

Pur
<06332>_,

that [is], the lot
<01486>_,

before
<06440>

Haman
<02001>

from day
<03117>

to day
<03117>_,

and from month
<02320>

to month
<02320>_,

[to] the twelfth
<08147> <06240>

[month], that [is], the month
<02320>

Adar
<0143>_.

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}

Esther 4:7

4:7

And Mordecai
<04782>

told
<05046> (8686)

him of all that had happened
<07136> (8804)

unto him, and of the sum
<06575>

of the money
<03701>

that Haman
<02001>

had promised
<0559> (8804)

to pay
<08254> (8800)

to the king's
<04428>

treasuries
<01595>

for the Jews
<03064>_,

to destroy
<06> (8763)

them.

Esther 5:11-12

5:11

And Haman
<02001>

told
<05608> (8762)

them of the glory
<03519>

of his riches
<06239>_,

and the multitude
<07230>

of his children
<01121>_,

and all [the things] wherein the king
<04428>

had promoted
<01431> (8765)

him, and how he had advanced
<05375> (8765)

him above the princes
<08269>

and servants
<05650>

of the king
<04428>_.

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 5:14

5:14

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Zeresh
<02238>

his wife
<0802>

and all his friends
<0157> (8802)

unto him, Let a gallows
<06086>

be made
<06213> (8799)

of fifty
<02572>

cubits
<0520>

high
<01364>_,

and to morrow
<01242>

speak
<0559> (8798)

thou unto the king
<04428>

that Mordecai
<04782>

may be hanged
<08518> (8799)

thereon: then go
<0935> (8798)

thou in merrily
<08056>

with the king
<04428>

unto the banquet
<04960>_.

And the thing
<01697>

pleased
<03190> (8799) <06440>

Haman
<02001>_;

and he caused
<06213> (0)

the gallows
<06086>

to be made
<06213> (8799)_.

{gallows: Heb. tree}

Esther 6:11

Then took
<03947> (8799)

Haman
<02001>

the apparel
<03830>

and the horse
<05483>_,

and arrayed
<03847> (8686)

Mordecai
<04782>_,

and brought him on horseback
<07392> (8686)

through the street
<07339>

of the city
<05892>_,

and proclaimed
<07121> (8799)

before
<06440>

him, Thus shall it be done
<06213> (8735)

unto the man
<0376>

whom the king
<04428>

delighteth
<02654> (8804)

to honour
<03366>_.

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.

Esther 7:8

7:8

Then the king
<04428>

returned
<07725> (8804)

out of the palace
<01055>

garden
<01594>

into the place
<01004>

of the banquet
<04960>

of wine
<03196>_;

and Haman
<02001>

was fallen
<05307> (8802)

upon the bed
<04296>

whereon Esther
<0635>

[was]. Then said
<0559> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

Will he force
<03533> (8800)

the queen
<04436>

also before me in the house
<01004>_?

As the word
<01697>

went out
<03318> (8804)

of the king's
<04428>

mouth
<06310>_,

they covered
<02645> (8804)

Haman's
<02001>

face
<06440>_.

{before me: Heb. with me}

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

And Esther
<0635>

spake
<01696> (8762)

yet again
<03254> (8686)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

and fell down
<05307> (8799)

at
<06440>

his feet
<07272>_,

and besought
<02603> (8691)

him with tears
<01058> (8799)

to put away
<05674> (8687)

the mischief
<07451>

of Haman
<02001>

the Agagite
<091>_,

and his device

<04436>

and to Mordecai
<04782>

the Jew

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>_.

9:12

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>_,

The Jews
<03064>

have slain
<02026> (8804)

and destroyed
<06> (8763)

five
<02568>

hundred
<03967>

what have they done
<06213> (8804)

in the rest
<07605>

thee: or what [is] thy request
<01246>

further

and it shall be done
<06213> (8735)_.

9:13

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Esther
<0635>_,

If it please
<02896>

the king
<04428>_,

let it be granted
<05414> (8735)

to the Jews
<03064>

which [are] in Shushan
<07800>

to do
<06213> (8800)

And said

the king
<04428>_,

and if I have found
<04672> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in his sight

and the thing
<01697>

[seem] right
<03787> (8804)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

and I [be] pleasing

in his eyes
<05869>_,

let it be written
