H9002–/וְ–v

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

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

For if thou shalt altogether hold thy peace at this time, then will there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house will be destroyed: and who knoweth, whether thou hast come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

וְהַצָּלָ֞ה (וְ) ve. “and”וְאַ֥תְּ (וְ) ve. “and”וּבֵית־ (וּ) u. “and”וּמִ֣י (וּ) u. “and”

Go, assemble all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in to the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish.

וְצ֣וּמוּ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאַל־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְאַל־ (וְ) ve. “and”וָי֔וֹם (וָ) va. “and”וְנַעֲרֹתַ֖י (וְ) ve. “and”וּבְכֵ֞ן (וּ) u. “and”וְכַאֲשֶׁ֥ר (וְ) ve. “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 gate of the house.

וְ֠הַמֶּלֶךְ (וְ֠) Ve. “and”

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

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

And Esther answered, If it shall seem good to the king, let the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.

וְהָמָן֙ (וְ) ve. “and”

Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

וְהָמָ֔ן (וְ) ve. “and”

And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

וְיִנָּ֣תֵֽן (וְ) ve. “sp”וּמַה־ (וּ) u. “and”וְתֵעָֽשׂ׃ (וְ) ve. “and”

Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is:

וּבַקָּשָׁתִֽי׃ (וּ) u. “and”

If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it shall please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow as the king hath said.

וְאִם־ (וְ) ve. “and”וְלַעֲשׂ֖וֹת (וְ) ve. “and”וְהָמָ֗ן (וְ) ve. “and”וּמָחָ֥ר (וּ) u. “and”

Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.

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

Nevertheless, Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

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

Haman said moreover, Yes, Esther the queen let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to-morrow I am invited to her also with the king.

וְגַם־ (וְ) ve. “and”

Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.

וְכָל־ (וְ) ve. “and”

Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends to him, Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and to-morrow speak thou to the king that Mordecai may be hanged upon it: then go thou in merrily with the king to the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.

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

And it was found written, that Mordecai had informed of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.

וָתֶ֗רֶשׁ (וָ) va. “and”

And the king said, What honor and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered to him, There is nothing done for him.

וּגְדוּלָּ֛ה (וּ) u. “and”

And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman had come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

וְהָמָ֣ן (וְ) ve. “and”

Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:

וְס֗וּס (וְ) ve. “and”וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר (וַ) va. “and”

And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delighteth to honor, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor.

וְנָת֨וֹן (וְ) ve. “and”וְהַסּ֗וּס (וְ) ve. “and”

Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.

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

Then Haman took the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honor.

וְאֶת־ (וְ) ve. “and”

And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.

וְהָמָן֙ (וְ) ve. “and”וַחֲפ֥וּי (וַ) va. “and”

And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife to him, If Mordecai is of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou wilt not prevail against him, but wilt surely fall before him.

וּלְכָל־ (וּ) u. “and”וְזֶ֣רֶשׁ (וְ) ve. “and”
