It is common knowledge among all the king's servants and the people of every part of the kingdom, that if anyone, man or woman, comes to the king in his inner room without being sent for, there is only one law for him, that he is to be put to death; only

וְעַם־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאִשָּׁ֡ה (וְ) ve. “and”וַאֲנִ֗י (וַ) va. “and”

If at this time you say nothing, then help and salvation will come to the Jews from some other place, but you and your father's family will come to destruction: and who is to say that you have not come to the kingdom even for such a time as this?

Now on the third day, Esther put on her queen's robes, and took her place in the inner room of the king's house, facing the king's house: and the king was seated on his high seat in the king's house, facing the doorway of the house.

וְ֠הַמֶּלֶךְ (וְ֠) Ve. “and”

Then the king said, What is your desire, Queen Esther, and what is your request? I will give it to you, even to the half of my kingdom.

וּמַה־ (וּ) u. “and”וְיִנָּ֥תֵֽן (וְ) ve. “so”

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.

וְהָמָן֙ (וְ) ve. “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.

וְהָמָ֔ן (וְ) ve. “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.

If I have the king's approval, and if it is the king's pleasure to give me my prayer and do my request, let the king and Haman come to the feast which I will make ready for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.

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.

וְט֣וֹב (וְ) ve. “and”וְכִרְאוֹת֩ (וְ) ve. “and”וְלֹא־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְלֹא־ (וְ) ve. “and”

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

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “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.

וְרֹ֣ב (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֵת֩ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאֵ֣ת (וְ) ve. “and”וְעַבְדֵ֥י (וְ) ve. “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.

וְגַם־ (וְ) ve. “and”

But all this is nothing to me while I see Mordecai the Jew seated by the king's doorway.

וְכָל־ (וְ) ve. “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

וְכָל־ (וְ) ve. “and”וּבַבֹּ֣קֶר׀ (וּ) u. “and”וְיִתְל֤וּ (וְ) ve. “so”וּבֹֽא־ (וּ) u. “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.

וָתֶ֗רֶשׁ (וָ) 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.

וּגְדוּלָּ֛ה (וּ) u. “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.

וְהָמָ֣ן (וְ) ve. “and”

Let them take the robes which the king generally puts on, and the horse on which the king goes, and the crown which is on his head:

וְס֗וּס (וְ) ve. “and”וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר (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

וְנָת֨וֹן (וְ) ve. “and”וְהַסּ֗וּס (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.

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”וַֽעֲשֵׂה־ (וַֽ) 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.

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”

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

וְהָמָן֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וַחֲפ֥וּי (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
