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}

<04782>

told

<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.

Also he gave
<05414> (8804)

him the copy
<06572>

of the writing
<03791>

of the decree
<01881>

that was given
<05414> (8738)

at Shushan
<07800>

to destroy
<08045> (8687)

them, to shew
<07200> (8687)

[it] unto Esther
<0635>_,

and to declare
<05046> (8687)

[it] unto her, and to charge
<06680> (8763)

her that she should go in
<0935> (8800)

<04428>_,

to make supplication
<02603> (8692)

<01245> (8763)

before
<06440>

him for her people
<05971>_.

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}

Then the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

<02001>_,

<04116> (8761)_,

[and] take
<03947> (8798)

the apparel
<03830>

and the horse
<05483>_,

as thou hast said
<01696> (8765)_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

even so to Mordecai
<04782>

the Jew
<03064>_,

that sitteth
<03427> (8802)

at the king's
<04428>

gate
<08179>_:

let nothing
<01697>

fail

<03947> (8799)

Haman

the apparel
<03830>

and the horse

<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)

<01696> (8762)

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>

And the king
<04428>

The Jews

have slain
<02026> (8804)

and destroyed
<06> (8763)

five
<02568>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

in Shushan
<07800>

the palace
<01002>_,

and the ten
<06235>

<01121>

<02001>_;

what have they done
<06213> (8804)

in the rest
<07605>

of the king's

<04082>_?

now what [is] thy petition

that his wicked
<07451>

device
