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

וַיֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ (וַ) va “and”

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

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

When Haman saw that Mordecai didn't bow down, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.

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

But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai: therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

וַיִּ֣בֶז (וַ) va “and”וַיְבַקֵּ֣שׁ (וַ) va “and”

In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, [supplied: to] the twelfth [supplied: month], which is the month Adar.

וַיִּפֹּל (וַ) va “and”

Haman said to king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; and their laws are diverse from [supplied: those of] every people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to allow them.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

The king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.

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

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

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then were the king's scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day of it; and there was written according to all that Haman commanded to the king's satraps, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to 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 it was sealed with the king's ring.

וַיִּקָּרְאוּ֩ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּכָּתֵ֣ב (וַ) va “and”

Now when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai tore 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;

וַיִּקְרַ֤ע (וַ) va “and”וַיִּלְבַּ֥שׁ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּצֵא֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּזְעַ֛ק (וַ) va “and”

and he came even before the king's gate: for none might enter within the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

וַיָּב֕וֹא (וַ) va “and”

Esther's maidens and her chamberlains came and told it her; and the queen was exceedingly grieved: and she sent clothing to clothe Mordecai, and to take his sackcloth from off him; but he didn't receive it.

וַ֠תָּבֹאינָה (וַ֠) va. “and”וַיַּגִּ֣ידוּ (וַ) va “and”וַתִּתְחַלְחַ֥ל (וַ) va. “and”וַתִּשְׁלַ֨ח (וַ) va. “and”

Then called Esther for Hathach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend on her, and charged him to go to Mordecai, to know what this was, and why it was.

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

So Hathach went forth to Mordecai to the broad place of the city, which was before the king's gate.

וַיֵּצֵ֥א (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיַּגֶּד־ (וַ) va “and”

Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

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

Then Esther spoke to Hathach, and gave him a message to Mordecai [supplied: saying]:

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 for him, that he be put to death, except those 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.

וְחָיָ֑ה (וְ) ve. “and”

They told to Mordecai Esther's words.

וַיַּגִּ֣ידוּ (וַ) va “and”

Then Mordecai bade them return answer to Esther, Don't think to yourself that you shall escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then Esther bade them return answer to Mordecai,

וַתֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”

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

וַֽיַּעֲבֹ֖ר (וַֽ) va “and”וַיַּ֕עַשׂ (וַ) va “and”

Now it happened on the third day, that Esther put on her royal clothing, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, over against the entrance of the house.

וַיְהִ֣י׀ (וַ) va “and”וַתִּלְבַּ֤שׁ (וַ) va. “and”וַֽתַּעֲמֹ֞ד (וַֽ) va. “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.

וַיְהִי֩ (וַ) va “and”וַיּ֨וֹשֶׁט (וַ) va “and”וַתִּקְרַ֣ב (וַ) va. “and”וַתִּגַּ֖ע (וַ) va. “and”

Then said the king to her, What will you, queen Esther? and what is your request? it shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”
