H3064

On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy to Esther the queen. Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was to her.

הַיְּהוּדִ֑ים (יְּהוּדִ֑ים) ye.hu.di.yim “Jews”

Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and begged him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.

הַיְּהוּדִֽים׃ (יְּהוּדִֽים) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

She said, If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king's provinces:

הַיְּהוּדִ֔ים (יְּהוּדִ֔ים) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

Then the king Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, See, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged on the gallows, because he laid his hand on the Jews.

הַיְּהוּדִ֑י (יְּהוּדִ֑י) ye.hu.Di “Jew”בַּיְּהוּדִֽים׃ (יְּהוּדִֽים) i.ye.hu.di.yim “Jews”

Write you also to the Jews, as it pleases you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring; for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.

הַיְּהוּדִ֜ים (יְּהוּדִ֜ים) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

Then were the king's scribes called at that time, in the third month Sivan, on the three and twentieth [supplied: day] of it; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, one hundred twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.

הַיְּהוּדִ֡ים (יְּהוּדִ֡ים) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”הַיְּהוּדִ֔ים (יְּהוּדִ֔ים) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

in which the king granted the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, [supplied: their] little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,

לַיְּהוּדִ֣ים׀ (יְּהוּדִ֣ים) i.ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

A copy of the writing, that the decree should be given out in every province, was published to all the peoples, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

הַיְּהוּדִ֤ים (יְּהוּדִ֤ים) ye.hu.di.yim “Jews”

The Jews had light and gladness, and joy and honor.

לַיְּהוּדִ֕ים (יְּהוּדִ֕ים) i.ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

In every province, and in every city, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. Many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen on them.

לַיְּהוּדִ֔ים (יְּהוּדִ֔ים) i.ye.hu.Dim “Jews”הַיְּהוּדִ֖ים (יְּהוּדִ֖ים) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have rule over them, (whereas it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over those who hated them),

הַיְּהוּדִים֙ (יְּהוּדִים֙) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”הַיְּהוּדִ֛ים (יְּהוּדִ֛ים) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them was fallen on all the peoples.

הַיְּהוּדִ֜ים (יְּהוּדִ֜ים) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

All the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and those who did the king's business, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai was fallen on them.

הַיְּהוּדִ֑ים (יְּהוּדִ֑ים) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

The Jews struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they would to those who hated them.

הַיְּהוּדִים֙ (יְּהוּדִים֙) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

In Shushan the palace the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.

הַיְּהוּדִים֙ (יְּהוּדִים֙) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jew's enemy, killed they; but they didn't lay their hand on the spoil.

הַיְּהוּדִ֖ים (יְּהוּדִ֖ים) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

The king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces! Now what is your petition? and it shall be granted you: or what is your request further? and it shall be done.

הַיְּהוּדִ֨ים (יְּהוּדִ֨ים) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews who are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according to this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged on the gallows.

לַיְּהוּדִים֙ (יְּהוּדִים֙) i.ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

The Jews who were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and killed three hundred men in Shushan; but they didn't lay their hand on the spoil.

הַיְּהוּדִ֣ים (יְּהוּדִ֣ים) ye.hu.di.yim “Jews”

The other Jews who were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and killed of those who hated them seventy-five thousand; but they didn't lay their hand on the spoil.

הַיְּהוּדִ֡ים (יְּהוּדִ֡ים) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

But the Jews who were in Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth [supplied: day] of it, and on the fourteenth of it; and on the fifteenth [supplied: day] of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

וְהַיְּהוּדִ֣ים (יְּהוּדִ֣ים) ye.hu.di.yim “Jews”

Therefore do the Jews of the villages, who dwell in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar [supplied: a day of] gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.

הַיְּהוּדִ֣ים (יְּהוּדִ֣ים) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both near and far,

הַיְּהוּדִ֗ים (יְּהוּדִ֗ים) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

as the days in which the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the needy.

הַיְּהוּדִים֙ (יְּהוּדִים֙) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”

The Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written to them;

הַיְּהוּדִ֔ים (יְּהוּדִ֔ים) ye.hu.Dim “Jews”
