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

מָרְדֳּכַ֗י ma.re.do.Khai “[was] Mordecai”

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.

מָרְדֳּכַ֛י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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

מָרְדֳּכַ֛י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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

מָרְדֳּכַי֙ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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.

מָרְדֳּכַ֡י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

When the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting in the king's gate.

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

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.

מָרְדֳּכָ֑י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”מָרְדֳּכַי֙ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those who kept the threshold, were angry, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.

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

The thing became known to Mordecai, who shown it to Esther the queen; and Esther told the king [ergänzt: of it] in Mordecai's name.

לְמָרְדֳּכַ֔י (מָרְדֳּכַ֔י) ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”מָרְדֳּכָֽי׃ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

All the king's servants, who were in the king's gate, bowed down, and did reverence to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai didn't bow down, nor did 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 disobey you the king's commandment?

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

Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he didn't listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told those who he was a Jew.

מָרְדֳּכַ֔י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

When Haman saw that Mordecai didn't bow down, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.

מָרְדֳּכַ֔י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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.

בְּמָרְדֳּכַ֣י (מָרְדֳּכַ֣י) ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”מָרְדֳּכָ֑י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”מָרְדֳּכָֽי׃ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

Now when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai tore his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;

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

Esther's maidens and her chamberlains came and told it her; and the queen was exceedingly grieved: and she sent clothing to clothe Mordecai, and to take his sackcloth from off him; but he didn't receive it.

מָרְדֳּכַ֗י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

Then called Esther for Hathach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend on her, and charged him to go to Mordecai, to know what this was, and why it was.

מָרְדֳּכָ֑י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

So Hathach went forth to Mordecai to the broad place of the city, which was before the king's gate.

מָרְדֳּכָ֑י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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

מָרְדֳּכַ֔י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

מָרְדֳּכָֽי׃ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

Then Esther spoke to Hathach, and gave him a message to Mordecai [ergänzt: saying]:

מָרְדֳּכָֽי׃ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

They told to Mordecai Esther's words.

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

Then Mordecai bade them return answer to Esther, Don't think to yourself that you shall escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.

מָרְדֳּכַ֖י ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

Then Esther bade them return answer to Mordecai,

מָרְדֳּכָֽי׃ ma.re.do.Khai “Mordecai”

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