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

וַיֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ (וַ) va “and”

Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.

וַיְהִ֗י (וַ) va “and”וַיַּגִּ֣ידוּ (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיַּ֣רְא (וַ) va “and”וַיִּמָּלֵ֥א (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיִּ֣בֶז (וַ) va “and”וַיְבַקֵּ֣שׁ (וַ) va “and”

In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, [ergänzt: to] the twelfth [ergänzt: month], which is the month Adar.

וַיִּפֹּל (וַ) va “and”

And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy 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 suffer them.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

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

וַיָּ֧סַר (וַ) va “and”וַֽיִּתְּנָ֗הּ (וַֽ) va “and”

And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then were the king's scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day thereof; and there was written according to all that Haman commanded unto the king's satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed with the king's ring.

וַיִּקָּרְאוּ֩ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּכָּתֵ֣ב (וַ) va “and”

Now when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai rent 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;

וַיִּקְרַ֤ע (וַ) va “and”וַיִּלְבַּ֥שׁ (וַ) va “and”וַיֵּצֵא֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּזְעַ֛ק (וַ) va “and”

and he came even before the king's gate: for none might enter within the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

וַיָּב֕וֹא (וַ) va “and”

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

וַ֠תָּבֹאינָה (וַ֠) va. “and”וַיַּגִּ֣ידוּ (וַ) va “and”וַתִּתְחַלְחַ֥ל (וַ) va. “and”וַתִּשְׁלַ֨ח (וַ) va. “and”

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

וַתִּקְרָא֩ (וַ) va. “and”וַתְּצַוֵּ֖הוּ (וַ) va. “and”

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

וַיֵּצֵ֥א (וַ) va “and”

And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto 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.

וַיַּגֶּד־ (וַ) va “and”

And Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.

וַיָּב֖וֹא (וַ) va “and”וַיַּגֵּ֣ד (וַ) va “and”

Then Esther spake unto Hathach, and gave him a message unto Mordecai [ergänzt: saying]:

וַתֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”וַתְּצַוֵּ֖הוּ (וַ) va. “and”

All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.

וְחָיָ֑ה (וְ) ve. “and”

And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.

וַיַּגִּ֣ידוּ (וַ) va “and”

Then Mordecai bade them return answer unto Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then Esther bade them return answer unto Mordecai,

וַתֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”

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

וַֽיַּעֲבֹ֖ר (וַֽ) va “and”וַיַּ֕עַשׂ (וַ) va “and”

Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the entrance of the house.

וַיְהִ֣י׀ (וַ) va “and”וַתִּלְבַּ֤שׁ (וַ) va. “and”וַֽתַּעֲמֹ֞ד (וַֽ) va. “and”

And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

וַיְהִי֩ (וַ) va “and”וַיּ֨וֹשֶׁט (וַ) va “and”וַתִּקְרַ֣ב (וַ) va. “and”וַתִּגַּ֖ע (וַ) va. “and”

Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be given thee even to the half of the kingdom.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”
