And Esther answered, If it shall seem good to the king, let the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.

וַתֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”

Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹ֤א (וַ) va “and”

And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is:

וַתַּ֥עַן (וַ) va. “and”וַתֹּאמַ֑ר (וַ) va. “and”

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

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

Nevertheless, Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.

וַיִּתְאַפַּ֣ק (וַ) va “and”וַיָּב֖וֹא (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁלַ֛ח (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֵ֥א (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיְסַפֵּ֨ר (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיֹּאמֶר֮ (וַ) va “and”

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

וַתֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”וַיִּיטַ֧ב (וַ) va “and”וַיַּ֥עַשׂ (וַ) va “and”

In that night the king could not sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.

וַיֹּ֗אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיִּהְי֥וּ (וַ) va “and”

And it was found written, that Mordecai had informed of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.

וַיִּמָּצֵ֣א (וַ) va “and”

And the king said, What honor and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered to him, There is nothing done for him.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ (וַ) va “and”

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.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.

וַיֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?

וַיָּבוֹא֮ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honor,

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delighteth to honor, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor.

וְהִלְבִּ֙ישׁוּ֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וְהִרְכִּיבֻ֤הוּ (וְ) ve. “and”וְקָרְא֣וּ (וְ) ve. “and”

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

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then Haman took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor.

וַיִּקַּ֤ח (וַ) va “and”וַיַּלְבֵּ֖שׁ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּרְכִּיבֵ֙הוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקְרָ֣א (וַ) va “and”

And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.

וַיָּ֥שָׁב (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיְסַפֵּ֨ר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֩אמְרוּ֩ (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיַּבְהִ֙לוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”

So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.

וַיָּבֹ֤א (וַ) va “and”

And the king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.

וַיֹּאמֶר֩ (וַ) va “and”

Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favor in thy sight, O king, and if it shall please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
