Esther had not made known her people nor her kindred; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not make it known.

then in this wise came the maiden unto the king: whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.

אֲשֶׁ֨ר 'a.Sher “that”

Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her.

After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “who”

And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed down, and did reverence to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “who”

Then the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “who”

Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “that”

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

אֲשֶׁ֛ר 'a.Sher “who”

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

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “that”אֲשֶׁ֣ר׀ 'a.Sher “who”

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

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “that”

And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

אֲשֶׁ֨ר 'a.Sher “<of> where”

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

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “whom”

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

אֲשֶׁ֖ר 'a.Sher “which”

And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto 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.

Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Shushan to destroy them, to show it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him, for her people.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto 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 sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “that”אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “who”אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “who”

Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast in like manner; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “which”

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

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “that”

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 sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “which”

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

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

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

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

if I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow as the king hath said.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “which”

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

אֲשֶׁ֨ר 'a.Sher “that”אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “this:”

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