H0853–אֵת–et

And when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai rent his garments, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and bitter cry,

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told [supplied: it] her; and the queen was exceedingly grieved: and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him; but he received [supplied: it] not.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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

אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”וְאֵ֣ת׀ (אֵ֣ת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And he gave him a copy of the writing of the decree that had been given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew [supplied: it] to Esther, and to declare [supplied: it] to her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication to him, and to make request before him, for her people.

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

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, to put [supplied: him] to death, except [supplied: such] to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live; and I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And they told Mordecai Esther's words.

אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

Go, gather together all the Jews that are found in Shushan, and fast 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 unto the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the king said, Hasten Haman, that it may be done as Esther has said. And the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

If I have found grace in the sight of the king, and if it 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 according to the king's word.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Haman went forth that day joyful and glad of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up nor moved for him, he was full of fury against Mordecai.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

But Haman controlled himself, and came home; and he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

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

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.> [about]”וְאֵת֩ (אֵת֩) 'Et “<obj.> [about]”וְאֵ֣ת (אֵ֣ת) 'Et “<obj.>”

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

אוֹתִ֑י (אוֹתִ֑) 'o.T “<obj.>”

Yet all this is of no avail to me so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends to him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king that Mordecai may be hanged on it: then go in merrily with the king to the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

On that night sleep fled from the king. And he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman had come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

and let the apparel and horse be delivered into the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, and let them array the man whom the king delights to honour, and cause him to ride on the horse through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the king said to Haman, Make haste, take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast said.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And Haman took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honour!

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and to all his friends all that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife to him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but wilt certainly fall before him.

אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

While they were yet talking with him, the king's chamberlains came, and hasted to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the king returned out of the palace garden into the house of the banquet of wine, and Haman was fallen upon the couch on which Esther was. And the king said, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? The word went forth out of the king's mouth, and they covered Haman's face.
