and the next unto him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, and sat first in the kingdom),

And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the peoples that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.

Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:

And he brought up Hadassah, that 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.

ל֖וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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 unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her.

ל֨וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

Esther had not yet made known her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.

אִתּֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “him”

After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.

And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed down, and did reverence to Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not down, nor did him reverence.

ל֣וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

אֵלָיו֙ (ו֙) v “him”

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

ל֑וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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.

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.

בּ֖וֹ (וֹ) o “it”

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.

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.

מֵעָלָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

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.

וַתְּצַוֵּ֖הוּ (הוּ) hu “him”

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.

Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Shushan to destroy them, to show it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him, for her people.

ל֔וֹ (וֹ) o “him”ל֛וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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

וַתְּצַוֵּ֖הוּ (הוּ) hu “him”

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.

ל֥וֹ (וֹ) o “him”

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

עָלָ֖יו (ו) v “him”

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

לֽוֹ׃ (וֹ) o “him”

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

מִמֶּ֔נּוּ (נּוּ) nu “him”

Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and Zeresh his wife.

אֹהֲבָ֖יו (ו) v “his”

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

גִּדְּל֤וֹ (וֹ) o “him”נִשְּׂא֔וֹ (וֹ) O “him”

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