Then said

Esther
<0635>_,

If it please

let it be granted
<05414> (8735)

to the Jews
<03064>

which [are] in Shushan
<07800>

to do
<06213> (8800)

to morrow
<04279>

also according unto this day's

Esther 7:5--8:14

7:5

Then the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>

answered
<0559> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>_,

Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume
<04390> (8804)

in his heart
<03820>

to do
<06213> (8800)

so? {that...: Heb. whose heart hath filled him}

7:6

And Esther
<0635>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

The adversary
<0376> <06862>

and enemy
<0341> (8802)

[is] this wicked
<07451>

Haman
<02001>_.

Then Haman
<02001>

was afraid
<01204> (8738)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>

and the queen
<04436>_.

{The adversary: Heb. The man adversary} {before: or, at the presence of}

7:7

And the king
<04428>

arising
<06965> (8804)

from the banquet
<04960>

of wine
<03196>

in his wrath
<02534>

[went] into the palace
<01055>

garden
<01594>_:

and Haman
<02001>

stood up
<05975> (8804)

to make request
<01245> (8763)

for his life
<05315>

to Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>_;

for he saw
<07200> (8804)

that there was evil
<07451>

determined
<03615> (8804)

against him by the king
<04428>_.

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}

7:9

And Harbonah
<02726>_,

one
<0259>

of the chamberlains
<05631>_,

said
<0559> (8799)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

Behold also, the gallows
<06086>

fifty
<02572>

cubits
<0520>

high
<01364>_,

which Haman
<02001>

had made
<06213> (8804)

for Mordecai
<04782>_,

who had spoken
<01696> (8765)

good
<02896>

for the king
<04428>_,

standeth
<05975> (8802)

in the house
<01004>

of Haman
<02001>_.

Then the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hang
<08518> (8798)

him thereon. {gallows: Heb. tree}

7:10

So they hanged
<08518> (8799)

Haman
<02001>

on the gallows
<06086>

that he had prepared
<03559> (8689)

for Mordecai
<04782>_.

Then was the king's
<04428>

wrath
<02534>

pacified
<07918> (8804)_.

8:1

On that day
<03117>

did the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>

give
<05414> (8804)

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
<05046> (8689)

what he [was] unto her.

8:2

And the king
<04428>

took off
<05493> (8686)

his ring
<02885>_,

which he had taken
<05674> (8689)

from Haman
<02001>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

it unto Mordecai
<04782>_.

And Esther
<0635>

set
<07760> (8799)

Mordecai
<04782>

over the house
<01004>

of Haman
<02001>_.

8:3

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
<04284>

that he had devised
<02803> (8804)

against the Jews
<03064>_.

{and besought...: Heb. and she wept, and besought him}

8:4

Then the king
<04428>

held out
<03447> (8686)

the golden
<02091>

sceptre
<08275>

toward Esther
<0635>_.

So Esther
<0635>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

8:5

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

If it please
<02896>

the king
<04428>_,

and if I have found
<04672> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in his sight
<06440>_,

and the thing
<01697>

[seem] right
<03787> (8804)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

and I [be] pleasing
<02896>

in his eyes
<05869>_,

let it be written
<03789> (8735)

to reverse
<07725> (8687)

the letters
<05612>

devised
<04284>

by Haman
<02001>

the son
<01121>

of Hammedatha
<04099>

the Agagite
<091>_,

which he wrote
<03789> (8804)

to destroy
<06> (8763)

the Jews
<03064>

which [are] in all the king's
<04428>

provinces
<04082>_:

{devised: Heb. the device} {which he...: or, who wrote}

8:6

For how
<0349>

can I endure
<03201> (8799)

to see
<07200> (8804)

the evil
<07451>

that shall come
<04672> (8799)

unto my people
<05971>_?

or how
<0349>

can I endure
<03201> (8799)

to see
<07200> (8804)

the destruction
<013>

of my kindred
<04138>_?

{endure...: Heb. be able that I may see}

8:7

Then the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>

and to Mordecai
<04782>

the Jew
<03064>_,

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>_.

8:8

Write
<03789> (8798)

ye also for the Jews
<03064>_,

as it liketh
<02896>

you
<05869>_,

in the king's
<04428>

name
<08034>_,

and seal
<02856> (8798)

[it] with the king's
<04428>

ring
<02885>_:

for the writing
<03791>

which is written
<03789> (8737)

in the king's
<04428>

name
<08034>_,

and sealed
<02856> (8737)

with the king's
<04428>

ring
<02885>_,

may no man reverse
<07725> (8687)_.

8:9

Then were the king's
<04428>

scribes
<05608> (8802)

called
<07121> (8735)

at that time
<06256>

in the third
<07992>

month
<02320>_,

that [is], the month
<02320>

Sivan
<05510>_,

on the three
<07969>

and twentieth
<06242>

[day] thereof; and it was written
<03789> (8735)

according to all that Mordecai
<04782>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

unto the Jews
<03064>_,

and to the lieutenants
<0323>_,

and the deputies
<06346>

and rulers
<08269>

of the provinces
<04082>

which [are] from India
<01912>

unto Ethiopia
<03568>_,

an hundred
<03967>

twenty
<06242>

and seven
<07651>

provinces
<04082>_,

unto every province
<04082>

according to the writing
<03791>

thereof, and unto every people
<05971>

after their language
<03956>_,

and to the Jews
<03064>

according to their writing
<03791>_,

and according to their language
<03956>_.

8:10

And he wrote

in the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_'

name
<08034>_,

and sealed
<02856> (8799)

[it] with the king's
<04428>

ring
<02885>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

letters
<05612>

by
<03027>

posts
<07323> (8801)

on horseback
<05483>_,

[and] riders
<07392> (8802)

on mules
<07409>_,

camels
<0327>_,

[and] young
<01121>

dromedaries
<07424>_:

8:11

Wherein the king
<04428>

granted
<05414> (8804)

the Jews
<03064>

which [were] in every city
<05892>

to gather themselves together
<06950> (8736)_,

and to stand
<05975> (8800)

for their life
<05315>_,

to destroy
<08045> (8687)_,

to slay
<02026> (8800)_,

and to cause to perish
<06> (8763)_,

all the power
<02428>

of the people
<05971>

and province
<04082>

that would assault
<06696> (8802)

them, [both] little ones
<02945>

and women
<0802>_,

and [to take] the spoil
<07998>

of them for a prey
<0962> (8800)_,

8:12

Upon one
<0259>

day
<03117>

in all the provinces
<04082>

of king

Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

which [is] the month

8:13

The copy

of the writing
<03791>

for a commandment
<01881>

to be given
<05414> (8736)

in every province
<04082>

[was] published

unto all people

and that the Jews
<03064>

should be ready

against that day
<03117>

to avenge

themselves on their enemies

{published: Heb. revealed}

8:14

[So] the posts
<07323> (8801)

that rode

upon mules
<07409>

[and] camels
<0327>

went out
