H9009–/ה–ha

That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,

הָהֵ֑ם (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַבִּירָֽה׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

In the third year of his reign, he made a feast to all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:

הַֽפַּרְתְּמִ֛ים (הַֽ) ha. “the”הַמְּדִינ֖וֹת (הַ) ha. “the”

And when these days had expired, the king made a feast for all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both for great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;

הַיָּמִ֣ים (הַ) hai. “the”הָאֵ֗לֶּה (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַמֶּ֡לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הָעָ֣ם (הָ) ha. “the”הַנִּמְצְאִים֩ (הַ) ha. “who”הַבִּירָ֜ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in abundance, according to the state of the king.

הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

And the drinking was according to the law; none constrained: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.

וְהַשְּׁתִיָּ֥ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.

הַמַּלְכָּ֔ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַמַּלְכ֔וּת (הַ) ha. “<the>”

On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,

הַשְּׁבִיעִ֔י (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַסָּ֣רִיסִ֔ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַמְשָׁ֣רְתִ֔ים (הַ) ha “who”הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.

הַמַּלְכָּ֛ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הָֽעַמִּ֤ים (הָֽ) ha. “the”וְהַשָּׂרִים֙ (הַ) ha. “the”

But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.

הַמַּלְכָּ֣ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַסָּרִיסִ֑ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (הַ) ha. “the”

Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times, (for so was the king's manner towards all that knew law and judgment:

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הָֽעִתִּ֑ים (הָֽ) ha. “<of> the”הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

And the next to him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, and who sat the first in the kingdom;)

וְהַקָּרֹ֣ב (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַיֹּשְׁבִ֥ים (הַ) hai. “who”

What shall we do to the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?

הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַסָּרִיסִֽים׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.

הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַשָּׂרִ֔ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמַּלְכָּ֑ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַשָּׂרִים֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הָ֣עַמִּ֔ים (הָ֣) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

For this deed of the queen will come abroad to all women, so that they will despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.

הַמַּלְכָּה֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַנָּשִׁ֔ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמַּלְכָּ֛ה (הַ) ha. “the”

Likewise will the ladies of Persia and Media say this day to all the king's princes, who have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus will there arise too much contempt and wrath.

וְֽהַיּ֨וֹם (הַ) hai. “the”הַזֶּ֜ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַמַּלְכָּ֔ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

If it pleaseth the king, let a royal commandment go from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another that is better than she.

הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַטּוֹבָ֥ה (הַ) ha. “<the>”

And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives will give to their husbands honor, both to great and small.

הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַנָּשִׁ֗ים (הַ) ha. “the”

And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:

הַדָּבָ֔ר (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַשָּׂרִ֑ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing of it, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.

הַדְּבָרִ֣ים (הַ) ha. “the”הָאֵ֔לֶּה (הָ) ha. “<the>”הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

Then said the king's servants that ministered to him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may collect all the fair young virgins to Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, into the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:

הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַבִּירָה֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַנָּשִׁ֔ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַנָּשִׁ֑ים (הַ) ha. “of the”

And let the maiden who pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.

וְהַֽנַּעֲרָ֗ה (הַֽ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַדָּבָ֛ר (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

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;

הַבִּירָ֑ה (הַ) ha. “the”

Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.

הַגֹּלָה֙ (הַ) ha. “the”
