אוֹת֣וֹ (אוֹת֣) 'o.T “<obj.>”

Shall we then listen to you to do all this great evil, to trespass against our God in marrying foreign women?

to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the peoples and the princes her beauty; for she was beautiful to look on.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

What shall we do to the queen Vashti according to law, because she has not done the bidding of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?

For this deed of the queen will come abroad to all women, to make their husbands contemptible in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she didn't come.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

This day will the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the deed of the queen say [ergänzt: the like] to all the king's princes. So [ergänzt: will there arise] much contempt and wrath.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.

He brought up Hadassah, who is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

The maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her things for her purification, with her portions, and the seven maidens who were meet to be given her out of the king's house: and he removed her and her maidens to the best place of the house of the women.

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

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

Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what would become of her.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

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

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 to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. Esther obtained favor in the sight of all those who looked at her.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

The king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Then the king made a great feast to all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king.

אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

Esther had not yet made known her relatives nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.

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 who were with him.

Then the king's servants, who were in the king's gate, said to Mordecai, Why disobey you the king's commandment?

אֵ֖ת 'et “<obj.>”

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

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Haman said to king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom; and their laws are diverse from [ergänzt: those of] every people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to allow them.

The king took his ring from his hand, and gave it to Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
