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.

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.

הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ (מֶּ֜לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ (מֶּ֑לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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.

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.

הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ (מֶּ֑לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.

הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙) Me.lekh “king”

The king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is your petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted you: and what is your request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ (מֶּ֨לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Then Esther the queen answered, If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondservants and bondmaids, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king's damage.

הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (מֶּֽלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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?

הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (מֶּ֣לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Esther said, An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

The king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine [ergänzt: and went] into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.

וְהַמֶּ֜לֶךְ (מֶּ֜לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (מֶּֽלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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.

וְהַמֶּ֡לֶךְ (מֶּ֡לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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.

הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ (מֶּ֗לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ (מֶּ֗לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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

הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ (מֶּ֖לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy to Esther the queen. Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was to her.

הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ (מֶּ֤לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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.

הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ (מֶּ֜לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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.

הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

Then the king held out to Esther the golden scepter. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.

הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ (מֶּ֙לֶךְ֙) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (מֶּֽלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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:

הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ (מֶּ֨לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ (מֶּ֔לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ (מֶּֽלֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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.

הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ (מֶּ֤לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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.

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.

הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (מֶּ֣לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

He wrote the name of king Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by post on horseback, riding on swift steeds that were used in the king's service, bred of the stud:

הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (מֶּ֣לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ (מֶּ֑לֶךְ) Me.lekh “king”

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,
