Esther 4:1-10

When Mordecai
<04782>

perceived
<03045> (8804)

all that was done
<06213> (8738)_,

Mordecai
<04782>

rent
<07167> (8799)

his clothes
<0899>_,

and put on
<03847> (8799)

sackcloth
<08242>

with ashes
<0665>_,

and went out
<03318> (8799)

into the midst
<08432>

of the city
<05892>_,

and cried
<02199> (8799)

with a loud
<01419>

and a bitter
<04751>

cry
<02201>_;

And came
<0935> (8799)

even before
<06440>

the king's
<04428>

gate
<08179>_:

for none [might] enter
<0935> (8800)

into the king's
<04428>

gate
<08179>

clothed
<03830>

with sackcloth
<08242>_.

And in every province
<04082>_,

whithersoever
<04725>

the king's
<04428>

commandment
<01697>

and his decree
<01881>

came
<05060> (8688)_,

[there was] great
<01419>

mourning
<060>

among the Jews
<03064>_,

and fasting
<06685>_,

and weeping
<01065>_,

and wailing
<04553>_;

and many
<07227>

lay
<03331> (8714)

in sackcloth
<08242>

and ashes
<0665>_.

{many...: Heb. sackcloth and ashes were laid under many}

So Esther's
<0635>

maids
<05291>

and her chamberlains
<05631>

came
<0935> (8799)

and told
<05046> (8686)

[it] her. Then was the queen
<04436>

exceedingly
<03966>

grieved
<02342> (8698)_;

and she sent
<07971> (8799)

raiment
<0899>

to clothe
<03847> (8687)

Mordecai
<04782>_,

and to take away
<05493> (8687)

his sackcloth
<08242>

from him: but he received
<06901> (8765)

[it] not. {chamberlains: Heb. eunuchs}

Then called
<07121> (8799)

Esther
<0635>

for Hatach
<02047>_,

[one] of the king's
<04428>

chamberlains
<05631>_,

whom he had appointed
<05975> (8689)

to attend
<06440>

upon her, and gave him a commandment
<06680> (8762)

to Mordecai
<04782>_,

to know
<03045> (8800)

what it [was], and why it [was]. {appointed...: Heb. set before her}

So Hatach
<02047>

went forth
<03318> (8799)

to Mordecai
<04782>

unto the street
<07339>

of the city
<05892>_,

which [was] before
<06440>

the king's
<04428>

gate
<08179>_.

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.

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)

unto the king
<04428>_,

to make supplication
<02603> (8692)

unto him, and to make request
<01245> (8763)

before
<06440>

him for her people
<05971>_.

And Hatach
<02047>

came
<0935> (8799)

and told
<05046> (8686)

Esther
<0635>

the words
<01697>

of Mordecai
<04782>_.

Again Esther
<0635>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Hatach
<02047>_,

and gave him commandment
<06680> (8762)

unto Mordecai
<04782>_;
