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”

When these days were fulfilled, the king made a feast to all the people who were present in Shushan the palace, both great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace.

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

הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

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

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 Carcass, the seven chamberlains who ministered 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 peoples and the princes her beauty; for she was beautiful 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 the chamberlains: therefore was the king very angry, 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 toward all who knew law and judgment;

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

and the next to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, and sat 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 has not done the bidding of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?

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

Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen has not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the peoples who 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, to make their husbands contemptible in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she didn't come.

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

This day will the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the deed of the queen say [supplied: the like] to all the king's princes. So [supplied: will there arise] much contempt and wrath.

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

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

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

When the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his kingdom (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”

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 should speak according to the language of his people.

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was pacified, 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 who ministered to him, Let there be beautiful 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 gather together all the beautiful young virgins to Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, to the custody of Hegai 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 pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti. The thing pleased the king; and he did so.
