On that dayH3117 did the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 giveH5414 the houseH1004 of HamanH2001 the Jews'H3064 enemyH6887 unto EstherH635 the queenH4436. And MordecaiH4782 cameH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428; for EstherH635 had toldH5046 what he was unto her.
And the kingH4428 took offH5493 his ringH2885, which he had takenH5674 from HamanH2001, and gaveH5414 it unto MordecaiH4782. And EstherH635 setH7760 MordecaiH4782 over the houseH1004 of HamanH2001.
And EstherH635 spakeH1696 yet againH3254 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and fell downH5307 atH6440 his feetH7272, and besoughtH2603 him with tearsH1058 to put awayH5674 the mischiefH7451 of HamanH2001 the AgagiteH91, and his deviceH4284 that he had devisedH2803 against the JewsH3064. {and besought…: Heb. and she wept, and besought him}
Then the kingH4428 held outH3447 the goldenH2091 sceptreH8275 toward EstherH635. So EstherH635 aroseH6965, and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428,
And saidH559, If it pleaseH2896 the kingH4428, and if I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in his sightH6440, and the thingH1697 seem rightH3787 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and I be pleasingH2896 in his eyesH5869, let it be writtenH3789 to reverseH7725 the lettersH5612 devisedH4284 by HamanH2001 the sonH1121 of HammedathaH4099 the AgagiteH91, which he wroteH3789 to destroyH6 the JewsH3064 which are in all the king'sH4428 provincesH4082: {devised: Heb. the device} {which he…: or, who wrote}
For howH349 can I endureH3201 to seeH7200 the evilH7451 that shall comeH4672 unto my peopleH5971? or howH349 can I endureH3201 to seeH7200 the destructionH13 of my kindredH4138? {endure…: Heb. be able that I may see}
Then the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 saidH559 unto EstherH635 the queenH4436 and to MordecaiH4782 the JewH3064, Behold, I have givenH5414 EstherH635 the houseH1004 of HamanH2001, and him they have hangedH8518 upon the gallowsH6086, because he laidH7971 his handH3027 upon the JewsH3064.
WriteH3789 ye also for the JewsH3064, as it likethH2896 youH5869, in the king'sH4428 nameH8034, and sealH2856 it with the king'sH4428 ringH2885: for the writingH3791 which is writtenH3789 in the king'sH4428 nameH8034, and sealedH2856 with the king'sH4428 ringH2885, may no man reverseH7725.
Then were the king'sH4428 scribesH5608 calledH7121 at that timeH6256 in the thirdH7992 monthH2320, that is, the monthH2320 SivanH5510, on the threeH7969 and twentiethH6242 day thereof; and it was writtenH3789 according to all that MordecaiH4782 commandedH6680 unto the JewsH3064, and to the lieutenantsH323, and the deputiesH6346 and rulersH8269 of the provincesH4082 which are from IndiaH1912 unto EthiopiaH3568, an hundredH3967 twentyH6242 and sevenH7651 provincesH4082, unto every provinceH4082 according to the writingH3791 thereof, and unto every peopleH5971 after their languageH3956, and to the JewsH3064 according to their writingH3791, and according to their languageH3956.
And he wroteH3789 in the kingH4428 Ahasuerus'H325 nameH8034, and sealedH2856 it with the king'sH4428 ringH2885, and sentH7971 lettersH5612 byH3027 postsH7323 on horsebackH5483, and ridersH7392 on mulesH7409, camelsH327, and youngH1121 dromedariesH7424:
Wherein the kingH4428 grantedH5414 the JewsH3064 which were in every cityH5892 to gather themselves togetherH6950, and to standH5975 for their lifeH5315, to destroyH8045, to slayH2026, and to cause to perishH6, all the powerH2428 of the peopleH5971 and provinceH4082 that would assaultH6696 them, both little onesH2945 and womenH802, and to take the spoilH7998 of them for a preyH962,
Upon oneH259 dayH3117 in all the provincesH4082 of kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, namely, upon the thirteenthH7969+H6240 day of the twelfthH8147+H6240 monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 AdarH143.
The copyH6572 of the writingH3791 for a commandmentH1881 to be givenH5414 in every provinceH4082 was publishedH1540 unto all peopleH5971, and that the JewsH3064 should be readyH6264+H6259 against that dayH3117 to avengeH5358 themselves on their enemiesH341. {published: Heb. revealed}
So the postsH7323 that rodeH7392 upon mulesH7409 and camelsH327 went outH3318, being hastenedH926 and pressed onH1765 by the king'sH4428 commandmentH1697. And the decreeH1881 was givenH5414 at ShushanH7800 the palaceH1002.
And MordecaiH4782 went outH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the kingH4428 in royalH4438 apparelH3830 of blueH8504 and whiteH2353, and with a greatH1419 crownH5850 of goldH2091, and with a garmentH8509 of fine linenH948 and purpleH713: and the cityH5892 of ShushanH7800 rejoicedH6670 and was gladH8056. {blue: or, violet}
The JewsH3064 had lightH219, and gladnessH8057, and joyH8342, and honourH3366.
And in every provinceH4082, and in every cityH5892, whithersoeverH4725 the king'sH4428 commandmentH1697 and his decreeH1881 cameH5060, the JewsH3064 had joyH8057 and gladnessH8342, a feastH4960 and a goodH2896 dayH3117. And manyH7227 of the peopleH5971 of the landH776 became JewsH3054; for the fearH6343 of the JewsH3064 fellH5307 upon them.
