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

וַיֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיְהִ֗י (וַ) va “and”וַיַּגִּ֣ידוּ (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיַּ֣רְא (וַ) va “and”וַיִּמָּלֵ֥א (וַ) va “and”

וַיָּ֧סַר (וַ) va “and”וַֽיִּתְּנָ֗הּ (וַֽ) va “and”

And the king said to Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as seems good to thee.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then were the king's scribes called, in the first month, on the thirteenth day of the [supplied: month], and there was written according to all that Haman commanded unto the king's satraps, and to the governors over every province, and to the princes of every people; to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people according to their language: in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.

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

וַתִּקְרָא֩ (וַ) va. “and”וַתְּצַוֵּ֖הוּ (וַ) va. “and”

And Hatach went forth to Mordecai, unto the public place of the city which was before the king's gate.

וַיֵּצֵ֥א (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיַּגֶּד־ (וַ) va “and”

And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

וַיָּב֖וֹא (וַ) va “and”וַיַּגֵּ֣ד (וַ) va “and”

And Esther spoke to Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai:

וַתֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”וַתְּצַוֵּ֖הוּ (וַ) va. “and”

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.

And they told Mordecai Esther's words.

וַיַּגִּ֣ידוּ (וַ) va “and”

And Mordecai bade to answer Esther: Imagine not in thy heart that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Esther bade to answer Mordecai:

וַתֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”

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

And it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house. And the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the entrance to the house.
