H9009–/ה–ha

And letters were sent by the runners into every division of the kingdom ordering the death and destruction of all Jews, young and old, little children and women, on the same day, even the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar, and the takin

הָרָצִים֮ (הָ) ha. “the”הַמֶּלֶךְ֒ (הַ) ha. “the”הַ֠יְּהוּדִים (הַ֠) Hai. “the”

A copy of the writing, to be made public in every part of the kingdom, was sent out to all the peoples, so that they might be ready when that day came.

הַכְּתָ֗ב (הַ) ha. “the”הָֽעַמִּ֑ים (הָֽ) ha. “the”הַזֶּֽה׃ (הַ) ha. “<the>”

The runners went out quickly by the king's order, and a public statement was made in Shushan: and the king and Haman took wine together: but the town of Shushan was troubled.

הָֽרָצִ֞ים (הָֽ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַדָּ֥ת (הַ) ha. “the”הַבִּירָ֑ה (הַ) ha. “the”וְהַמֶּ֤לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”וְהָעִ֥יר (הָ) ha. “the”

Now when Mordecai saw what was done, pulling off his robe, he put on haircloth, with dust on his head, and went out into the middle of the town, crying out with a loud and bitter cry.

הָעִ֔יר (הָ) ha. “the”

And he came even before the king's doorway; for no one might come inside the king's door clothed in haircloth.

הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

And in every part of the kingdom, wherever the king's word and his order came, there was great sorrow among the Jews, and weeping and crying and going without food; and numbers of them were stretched on the earth covered with dust and haircloth.

הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

And Esther's women and her servants came and gave her word of it. Then great was the grief of the queen: and she sent robes for Mordecai, so that his clothing of haircloth might be taken off; but he would not have them.

הַמַּלְכָּ֖ה (הַ) ha. “the”

Then Esther sent for Hathach, one of the king's unsexed servants whom he had given her for waiting on her, and she gave him orders to go to Mordecai and see what this was and why it was.

הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (הַ) ha. “the”

So Hathach went out and saw Mordecai in the open square of the town before the king's doorway.

הָעִ֔יר (הָ) ha. “the”הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

And Mordecai gave him an account of what had taken place, and of the amount of money which Haman had said he would put into the king's store for the destruction of the Jews.

הַכֶּ֗סֶף (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

And he gave him the copy of the order which had been given out in Shushan for their destruction, ordering him to let Esther see it, and to make it clear to her; and to say to her that she was to go in to the king, requesting his mercy, and making prayer

הַ֠דָּת (הַ֠) Ha. “the”הַמֶּ֧לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

It is common knowledge among all the king's servants and the people of every part of the kingdom, that if anyone, man or woman, comes to the king in his inner room without being sent for, there is only one law for him, that he is to be put to death; only

הַמֶּ֡לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּלֶךְ֩ (הַ) ha. “the”הֶחָצֵ֨ר (הֶ) he. “the”הַפְּנִימִ֜ית (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַזָּהָ֖ב (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

Then Mordecai sent this answer back to Esther: Do not have the idea that you in the king's house will be safe from the fate of all the Jews.

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַיְּהוּדִֽים׃ (הַ) hai. “the”

If at this time you say nothing, then help and salvation will come to the Jews from some other place, but you and your father's family will come to destruction: and who is to say that you have not come to the kingdom even for such a time as this?

הַזֹּאת֒ (הַ) ha. “<the>”

Go, get together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and go without food for me, taking no food or drink night or day for three days: and I and my women will do the same; and so I will go in to the king, which is against the law: and if death is to

הַיְּהוּדִ֜ים (הַ) hai. “the”הַֽנִּמְצְאִ֣ים (הַֽ) ha. “who”הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (הַ) ha. “the”

Now on the third day, Esther put on her queen's robes, and took her place in the inner room of the king's house, facing the king's house: and the king was seated on his high seat in the king's house, facing the doorway of the house.

הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֗י (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַפְּנִימִ֔ית (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”וְ֠הַמֶּלֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמַּלְכ֔וּת (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַבָּֽיִת׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

And when the king saw Esther the queen waiting in the inner room, looking kindly on her he put out the rod of gold in his hand to her. So Esther came near and put her fingers on the top of the rod.

הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמַּלְכָּ֗ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַזָּהָב֙ (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַשַּׁרְבִֽיט׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

Then the king said, What is your desire, Queen Esther, and what is your request? I will give it to you, even to the half of my kingdom.

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמַּלְכָּ֑ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַמַּלְכ֖וּת (הַ) ha. “the”

And Esther in answer said, If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the feast which I have made ready for him.

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַיּ֔וֹם (הַ) hai. “this”הַמִּשְׁתֶּ֖ה (הַ) ha. “the”

Then the king said, Let Haman come quickly, so that what Esther has said may be done. So the king and Haman came to the feast which Esther had made ready.

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמִּשְׁתֶּ֖ה (הַ) ha. “the”

And while they were drinking wine the king said to Esther, What is your prayer? for it will be given to you and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.

הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַיַּ֔יִן (הַ) hai. “<the>”הַמַּלְכ֖וּת (הַ) ha. “the”

If I have the king's approval, and if it is the king's pleasure to give me my prayer and do my request, let the king and Haman come to the feast which I will make ready for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.

הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמִּשְׁתֶּה֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

Then on that day Haman went out full of joy and glad in heart; but when he saw Mordecai in the king's doorway, and he did not get to his feet or give any sign of fear before him, Haman was full of wrath against Mordecai.

הַה֔וּא (הַ) ha. “<the>”הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”

And he gave them an account of the glories of his wealth, and the number of children he had, and the ways in which he had been honoured by the king, and how he had put him over the captains and servants of the king.

הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (הַ) ha. “the”הַשָּׂרִ֖ים (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (הַ) ha. “the”

And Haman said further, Truly, Esther the queen let no man but myself come in to the feast which she had made ready for the king; and tomorrow again I am to be her guest with the king.

הַמַּלְכָּ֧ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ (הַ) ha. “the”הַמִּשְׁתֶּ֥ה (הַ) ha. “the”הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (הַ) ha. “the”
