Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjaminite;

מָרְדֳּכַ֗י ma.re.do.Khai “[was] Mordecai”

And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.

מָרְדֳּכַ֛י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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

מָרְדֳּכַ֛י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what would become of her.

מָרְדֳּכַי֙ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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.

מָרְדֳּכַ֡י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And when the virgins were assembled the second time, then Mordecai sat in the king's gate.

וּמָרְדֳּכַ֖י (מָרְדֳּכַ֖י) ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

Esther had not yet showed her kindred, nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther performed the commandment of Mordecai, as when she was brought up with him.

In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those who kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.

וּמָרְדֳּכַ֖י (מָרְדֳּכַ֖י) ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it to Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king of it in Mordecai's name.

לְמָרְדֳּכַ֔י (מָרְדֳּכַ֔י) ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”מָרְדֳּכָֽי׃ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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.

וּמָ֨רְדֳּכַ֔י (מָ֨רְדֳּכַ֔י) Ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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

לְמָרְדֳּכָ֑י (מָרְדֳּכָ֑י) ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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.

מָרְדֳּכַ֔י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.

מָרְדֳּכַ֔י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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.

בְּמָרְדֳּכַ֣י (מָרְדֳּכַ֣י) ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”מָרְדֳּכָ֑י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”מָרְדֳּכָֽי׃ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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;

וּמָרְדֳּכַ֗י (מָרְדֳּכַ֗י) ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”מָרְדֳּכַי֙ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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

מָרְדֳּכַ֗י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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.

מָרְדֳּכָ֑י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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

מָרְדֳּכָ֑י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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.

מָרְדֳּכַ֔י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

מָרְדֳּכָֽי׃ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

Again Esther spoke to Hatach, and gave him commandment to Mordecai;

מָרְדֳּכָֽי׃ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.

לְמָרְדֳּכָ֔י (מָרְדֳּכָ֔י) ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house more than all the Jews.

מָרְדֳּכַ֖י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,

מָרְדֳּכָֽי׃ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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