There was in Shushan the fortress a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjaminite,

And he brought up Hadassah, that 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.

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

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

And when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained grace in the sight of all them that saw her.

And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, Mordecai sat in the king's gate.

(Esther, as Mordecai had charged her, had not yet made known her birth nor her people; for Esther did what Mordecai told her, like as when she was brought up with him.)

In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the threshold, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.

וּמָרְדֳּכַ֖י (מָרְדֳּכַ֖י) ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And the thing became known to Mordecai, and he related it to Esther the queen, and Esther told it to the king in Mordecai's name.

And all the king's servants that were in the king's gate bowed and did Haman reverence, for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did [ergänzt: him] reverence.

וּמָ֨רְדֳּכַ֔י (מָ֨רְדֳּכַ֔י) Ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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

לְמָרְדֳּכָ֑י (מָרְדֳּכָ֑י) ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And it came to pass as they spoke daily to him, and he hearkened not to them, that they informed Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.

מָרְדֳּכַ֔י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, Haman was full of fury.

מָרְדֳּכַ֔י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

But he scorned to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai; therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus -- the people of Mordecai.

And when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai rent his garments, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and bitter cry,

וּמָרְדֳּכַ֗י (מָרְדֳּכַ֗י) ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”מָרְדֳּכַי֙ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told [ergänzt: it] her; and the queen was exceedingly grieved: and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him; but he received [ergänzt: it] not.

מָרְדֳּכַ֗י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

Then Esther called for Hatach, [ergänzt: one] of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to wait upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.

מָרְדֳּכָ֑י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And Hatach went forth to Mordecai, unto the public place of the city which was before the king's gate.

מָרְדֳּכָ֑י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And Mordecai told him of all that had happened to him, and of the sum of money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.

מָרְדֳּכַ֔י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

מָרְדֳּכָֽי׃ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And Esther spoke to Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai:

מָרְדֳּכָֽי׃ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And they told Mordecai Esther's words.

לְמָרְדֳּכָ֔י (מָרְדֳּכָ֔י) ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And Mordecai bade to answer Esther: Imagine not in thy heart that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.

מָרְדֳּכַ֖י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And Esther bade to answer Mordecai:

מָרְדֳּכָֽי׃ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

And Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
