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

אֲשֶׁ֨ר 'a.Sher “when”

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

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

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

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

So Haman came in. The king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delights 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”

Haman said to the king, For the man whom the king delights to honor,

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “whom”

let royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, 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 clothing 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 delights 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 delights to honor.

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

Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “that”

Then took Haman the clothing 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 to the man whom the king delights to honor.

אֲשֶׁ֥ר 'a.Sher “whom”

Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, you shall not prevail against him, but shall 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 hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

Then spoke the king Ahasuerus and said to Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that dared 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 on 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 who were before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman has made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, stands in the house of Haman. 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”

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

אֲשֶׁ֤ר 'a.Sher “which”

Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and begged 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”

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 who 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 to my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my relatives?

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “which”

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

אֲשֶׁר־ 'a.Sher- “that”

Write you also to the Jews, as it pleases 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] of it; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors and princes of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, one hundred twenty-seven provinces, to every province according to the writing of it, and to 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”

in which the king granted the Jews who were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to kill, 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”

In every province, and in every city, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. Many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen on 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 those who hated them),
