Esther had not showed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not show it.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “that”

Then thus came every maiden to the king; whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women to the king's house.

אֲשֶׁ֨ר 'a.Sher “that”

Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, had come to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her.

After these things king Ahasuerus promoted Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “who”

And all the king's servants that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “who”

Then the king's servants who were in the king's gate, said to Mordecai, Why dost thou transgress the king's commandment?

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “who”

Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he hearkened not to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “that”

And he scorned to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shown him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

אֲשֶׁ֛ר 'a.Sher “who”

Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded to the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province, according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “that”אֲשֶׁ֣ר׀ 'a.Sher “who”

When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “that”

And in every province whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

אֲשֶׁ֨ר 'a.Sher “<of> where”

Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “whom”

So Hatach went forth to Mordecai, to the street of the city, which was before the king's gate.

אֲשֶׁ֖ר 'a.Sher “which”

And Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “that”אֲשֶׁ֨ר 'a.Sher “which”

Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to show it to Esther, and to declare it to her, and to charge her that she should go in to the king, to make supplication to him, and to make request before him for her people.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whoever, whether man or woman, shall come to the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except him to whom the king shall hold out the golden scepter, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “that”אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “who”אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “who”

Go, assemble all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in to the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “which”

So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “that”

And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favor in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the scepter.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “which”

And Esther answered, If it shall seem good to the king, let the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it shall please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow as the king hath said.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “which”

And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

אֲשֶׁ֨ר 'a.Sher “that”אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “this:”

Haman said moreover, Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to-morrow I am invited to her also with the king.
