H0853–אֵת–et

And in those days I saw the Jews who were married to women of Ashdod and Ammon and Moab:

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Was it not in these things that Solomon, king of Israel, did wrong? among a number of nations there was no king like him, and he was dear to his God, and God made him king over all Israel: but even he was made to do evil by strange women.

אוֹת֣וֹ (אוֹת֣) 'o.T “<obj.>”

Are we then without protest to let you do all this great evil, sinning against our God by taking strange women for your wives?

אֵ֣ת 'et “<obj.>”

And for a long time, even a hundred and eighty days, he let them see all the wealth and the glory of his kingdom and the great power and honour which were his.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶ֨ת־ (אֶ֨ת) 'Et “<obj.>”

That Vashti the queen was to come before him, crowned with her crown, and let the people and the captains see her: for she was very beautiful.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

What is to be done by law to Vashti the queen, because she has not done what King Ahasuerus, by his servants, gave her orders to do?

אֶֽת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

For news of what the queen has done will come to the ears of all women, and they will no longer give respect to their husbands when it is said to them, King Ahasuerus gave orders for Vashti the queen to come before him and she came not.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And the wives of the captains of Persia and Media, hearing what the queen has done, will say the same to all the king's captains. So there will be much shame and wrath.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

After these things, when the king's feelings were calmer, the thought of Vashti and what she had done and the order he had made against her, came back to his mind.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֵ֣ת (אֵ֣ת) 'Et “<obj.>”וְאֵ֥ת (אֵ֥ת) 'Et “<obj.>”

Let the king give authority to certain men in all the divisions of his kingdom, to get together all the fair young virgins and send them to Shushan, the king's town, to the women's house, under the care of Hegai, the king's servant, the keeper of the wom

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And he had been a father to Hadassah, that is Esther, the daughter of his father's brother: for she had no father or mother, and she was very beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his daughter.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And he was pleased with the girl and was kind to her; and he quickly gave her what was needed for making her clean, and the things which were hers by right, and seven servant-girls who were to be hers from the king's house: and he had her and her servant

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”וְאֵת֙ (אֵת֙) 'Et “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

Esther had not said what family or people she came from, for Mordecai had given her orders not to do so.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

And every day Mordecai took his walk before the square of the women's house, to see how Esther was and what would be done to her.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And in this way the girl went in to the king; whatever she had a desire for was given to her to take with her from the women's house into the house of the king.

אֵת֩ 'et “<obj.>”

Now when the time came for Esther, the daughter of Abihail, his father's brother, whom Mordecai had taken as his daughter, to go in to the king, she made request for nothing but what Hegai, the king's servant and keeper of the women, had given her. And E

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Esther was more pleasing to the king than all the women, and to his eyes she was fairer and more full of grace than all the other virgins: so he put his crown on her head and made her queen in place of Vashti.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then the king gave a great feast for all his captains and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he gave orders through all the divisions of his kingdom for a day of rest from work, and gave wealth from his store.

אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

Esther had still said nothing of her family or her people, as Mordecai had given her orders; for Esther did what Mordecai said, as when she was living with him.

וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

After these things, by the order of the king, Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, was lifted up and given a position of honour and a higher place than all the other captains who were with him.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then the king's servants who were in the king's house said to Mordecai, Why do you go against the king's order?

אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

But it was not enough for him to make an attack on Mordecai only; for they had made clear to him who Mordecai's people were; so Haman made it his purpose to put an end to all the Jews, even Mordecai's people, through all the kingdom of Ahasuerus.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

And Haman said to King Ahasuerus, There is a certain nation living here and there in small groups among the people in all the divisions of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of any other nation, and they do not keep the king's laws: for th

And the king took his ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of the Jews.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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
