And Esther in answer said, If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the feast which I have made ready for him.

וַתֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va. “and”

Then the king said, Let Haman come quickly, so that what Esther has said may be done. So the king and Haman came to the feast which Esther had made ready.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֹ֤א (וַ) va “and”

And while they were drinking wine the king said to Esther, What is your prayer? for it will be given to you and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then Esther said in answer, My prayer and my request is this:

וַתַּ֥עַן (וַ) va. “and”וַתֹּאמַ֑ר (וַ) va. “and”

Then on that day Haman went out full of joy and glad in heart; but when he saw Mordecai in the king's doorway, and he did not get to his feet or give any sign of fear before him, Haman was full of wrath against Mordecai.

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

But controlling himself, he went to his house; and he sent for his friends and Zeresh, his wife.

וַיִּתְאַפַּ֣ק (וַ) va “and”וַיָּב֖וֹא (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁלַ֛ח (וַ) va “and”וַיָּבֵ֥א (וַ) va “and”

And he gave them an account of the glories of his wealth, and the number of children he had, and the ways in which he had been honoured by the king, and how he had put him over the captains and servants of the king.

וַיְסַפֵּ֨ר (וַ) va “and”

And Haman said further, Truly, Esther the queen let no man but myself come in to the feast which she had made ready for the king; and tomorrow again I am to be her guest with the king.

וַיֹּאמֶר֮ (וַ) va “and”

Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, Let a pillar, fifty cubits high, be made ready for hanging him, and in the morning get the king to give orders for the hanging of Mordecai: then you will be able to go to the feast with the king with

That night the king was unable to get any sleep; and he sent for the books of the records; and while some one was reading them to the king,

וַיֹּ֗אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיִּהְי֥וּ (וַ) va “and”

It came out that it was recorded in the book how Mordecai had given word of the designs of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's servants, keepers of the door, by whom an attack on the king had been designed.

וַיִּמָּצֵ֣א (וַ) va “and”

And the king said, What honour and reward have been given to Mordecai for this? Then the servants who were waiting on the king said, Nothing has been done for him.

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ (וַ) va “and”

Then the king said, Who is in the outer room? Now Haman had come into the outer room to get the king's authority for the hanging of Mordecai on the pillar which he had made ready for him.

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And the king's servants said to him, See, Haman is waiting in the outer room. And the king said, Let him come in.

וַיֹּ֨אמְר֜וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What is to be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring? Then the thought came into Haman's mind, Whom, more than myself, would the king have pleasure in honouring?

וַיָּבוֹא֮ (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And Haman, answering the king, said, For the man whom the king has delight in honouring,

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

And let the robes and the horse be given to one of the king's most noble captains, so that they may put them on the man whom the king has delight in honouring, and let him go on horseback through the streets of the town, with men crying out before him, S

וְהִלְבִּ֙ישׁוּ֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וְהִרְכִּיבֻ֤הוּ (וְ) ve. “and”וְקָרְא֣וּ (וְ) ve. “and”

Then the king said to Haman, Go quickly, and take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, who is seated at the king's doorway: see that you do everything as you have said.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Then Haman took the robes and the horse, and dressing Mordecai in the robes, he made him go on horseback through the streets of the town, crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring.

וַיִּקַּ֤ח (וַ) va “and”וַיַּלְבֵּ֖שׁ (וַ) va “and”וַיַּרְכִּיבֵ֙הוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּקְרָ֣א (וַ) va “and”

And Mordecai came back to the king's doorway. But Haman went quickly back to his house, sad and with his head covered.

וַיָּ֥שָׁב (וַ) va “and”

And Haman gave his wife Zeresh and all his friends an account of what had taken place. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, If Mordecai, who is starting to get the better of you, is of the seed of the Jews, you will not be able to do anythi

While they were still talking, the king's servants came to take Haman to the feast which Esther had made ready.

וַיַּבְהִ֙לוּ֙ (וַ) va “and”

So the king and Haman came to take wine with Esther the queen.

וַיָּבֹ֤א (וַ) va “and”

And the king said to Esther again on the second day, while they were drinking, What is your prayer, Queen Esther? for it will be given to you; and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.

וַיֹּאמֶר֩ (וַ) va “and”

Then Esther the queen, answering, said, If I have your approval, O king, and if it is the king's pleasure, let my life be given to me in answer to my prayer, and my people at my request:
