| [1]AfterH310 these thingsH1697 did kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 promoteH1431[H8765] HamanH2001 the sonH1121 of HammedathaH4099 the AgagiteH91, and advancedH5375[H8762] him, and setH7760[H8799] his seatH3678 above all the princes that were with himH8269. |

| [2]And all the king'sH4428 servantsH5650, that were in the king'sH4428 gateH8179, bowedH3766[H8802], and reverencedH7812[H8693] HamanH2001: for the kingH4428 had so commandedH6680[H8765] concerning him. But MordecaiH4782 bowedH3766[H8799] not, nor did him reverenceH7812.[H8691] |

| [3]Then the king'sH4428 servantsH5650, which were in the king'sH4428 gateH8179, saidH559[H8799] unto MordecaiH4782, Why transgressestH5674[H8802] thou the king'sH4428 commandmentH4687? |

| [4]Now it came to pass, when they spakeH559[H8800] dailyH3117[H3117] unto him, and he hearkenedH8085[H8804] not unto them, that they toldH5046[H8686] HamanH2001, to seeH7200[H8800] whether Mordecai'sH4782 mattersH1697 would standH5975[H8799]: for he had toldH5046[H8689] them that he was a JewH3064. |

| [5]And when HamanH2001 sawH7200[H8799] that MordecaiH4782 bowedH3766[H8802] not, nor did him reverenceH7812[H8693], then was HamanH2001 fullH4390[H8735] of wrathH2534. |

| [6]And he thoughtH5869 scornH959[H8799] to layH7971[H8800] handsH3027 on MordecaiH4782 alone; for they had shewedH5046[H8689] him the peopleH5971 of MordecaiH4782: wherefore HamanH2001 soughtH1245[H8762] to destroyH8045[H8687] all the JewsH3064 that were throughout the whole kingdomH4438 of AhasuerusH325, even the peopleH5971 of MordecaiH4782. |

| [8]And HamanH2001 saidH559[H8799] unto kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, There isH3426 a certainH259 peopleH5971 scattered abroadH6340[H8794] and dispersedH6504[H8794] among the peopleH5971 in all the provincesH4082 of thy kingdomH4438; and their lawsH1881 are diverseH8138[H8802] from all peopleH5971; neither keepH6213[H8802] they the king'sH4428 lawsH1881: therefore it is not for the king'sH4428 profitH7737[H8802] to sufferH3240 themH8687. |

| [9]If it pleaseH2895[H8804] the kingH4428, let it be writtenH3789[H8735] that they may be destroyedH6[H8763]: and I will payH8254[H8799] tenH6235 thousandH505 talentsH3603 of silverH3701 to the handsH3027 of those that have the chargeH6213[H8802] of the businessH4399, to bringH935[H8687] it into the king'sH4428 treasuriesH1595. |

| [10]And the kingH4428 tookH5493[H8686] his ringH2885 from his handH3027, and gaveH5414[H8799] it unto HamanH2001 the sonH1121 of HammedathaH4099 the AgagiteH91, the Jews'H3064 enemyH6887.[H8802] |

| [11]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto HamanH2001, The silverH3701 is givenH5414[H8803] to thee, the peopleH5971 also, to doH6213[H8800] with them as it seemethH5869 good to theeH2896. |

| [12]Then were the king'sH4428 scribesH5608[H8802] calledH7121[H8735] on the thirteenthH7969[H6240] dayH3117 of the firstH7223 monthH2320, and there was writtenH3789[H8735] according to all that HamanH2001 had commandedH6680[H8765] unto the king'sH4428 lieutenantsH323, and to the governorsH6346 that were over every provinceH4082, and to the rulersH8269 of every peopleH5971 of every provinceH4082 according to the writingH3791 thereof, and to every peopleH5971 after their languageH3956; in the nameH8034 of kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 was it writtenH3789[H8737], and sealedH2856[H8738] with the king'sH4428 ringH2885. |
