Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.

אֲשֶׁ֨ר 'a.Sher “when”

And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, of those that kept the threshold, who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.

אֲשֶׁר֩ 'a.Sher “that”אֲשֶׁ֤ר 'a.Sher “who”

And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

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

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “whom”

And Haman said unto the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honor,

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “whom”

let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and on the head of which a crown royal is set:

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “which”אֲשֶׁ֨ר 'a.Sher “which”וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר (אֲשֶׁ֥ר) 'a.Sher “which”

and let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man therewith whom the king delighteth to honor, and cause him to ride 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.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “whom”אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “whom”

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.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “that”

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

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “whom”

And Haman recounted unto Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai, before whom thou hast begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “that”אֲשֶׁר֩ 'a.Sher “whom”

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

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

Then spake the king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “whom”

Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he even force the queen before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “which”

Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spake good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. And the king said, Hang him thereon.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”אֲשֶׁ֧ר 'a.Sher “who”

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.

אֲשֶׁ֤ר 'a.Sher “which”

And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “which”

And she said, If it please the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews that are in all the king's provinces:

אֲשֶׁ֣ר 'a.Sher “which”אֲשֶׁ֖ר 'a.Sher “who”

for how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “that”

Write ye also to the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring; for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

Then were the king's scribes called at that time, in the third month Sivan, on the three and twentieth [ergänzt: day] thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, a hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.

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

wherein the king granted the Jews that were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, [ergänzt: their] little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,

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

And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them.

אֲשֶׁ֨ר 'a.Sher “<of> where”

Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have rule over them, (whereas it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them,)
