Esther 4:1-12

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>_;
All the king's
<04428>
servants
<05650>_,
and the people
<05971>
of the king's
<04428>
provinces
<04082>_,
do know
<03045> (8802)_,
that whosoever, whether man
<0376>
or woman
<0802>_,
shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>
into the inner
<06442>
court
<02691>_,
who is not called
<07121> (8735)_,
[there is] one
<0259>
law
<01881>
of his to put [him] to death
<04191> (8687)_,
except
<0905>
such to whom the king
<04428>
shall hold out
<03447> (8686)
the golden
<02091>
sceptre
<08275>_,
that he may live
<02421> (8804)_:
but I have not been called
<07121> (8738)
to come in
<0935> (8800)
unto the king
<04428>
these thirty
<07970>
days
<03117>_.
And they told
<05046> (8686)
to Mordecai
<04782>
Esther's
<0635>
words
<01697>_.
