Esther

Chapter 5

1 Now it came1961 to pass on the third7992 day,3117 that Esther635 put3847 on her royal4438 apparel,3847 and stood5975 in the inner6442 court2691 of the king's4428 house,1004 over5227 against5227 the king's4428 house:1004 and the king4428 sat3427 on his royal4438 throne3678 in the royal4438 house,1004 over5227 against5227 the gate6607 of the house.1004

2 And it was so, when the king4428 saw7200 Esther635 the queen4436 standing5975 in the court,2691 that she obtained5375 favor2580 in his sight:5869 and the king4428 held3447 out to Esther635 the golden2091 scepter8275 that was in his hand.3027 So Esther635 drew near,7126 and touched5060 the top7218 of the scepter.8275

3 Then said559 the king4428 to her, What4100 will you, queen4436 Esther?635 and what4100 is your request?1246 it shall be even given5414 you to the half2677 of the kingdom.4438

4 And Esther635 answered,559 If518 it seem good2895 to the king,4428 let the king4428 and Haman2001 come935 this day3117 to the banquet4960 that I have prepared6213 for him.

5 Then the king4428 said,559 Cause Haman2001 to make haste,4116 that he may do6213 as Esther635 has said.1697 So the king4428 and Haman2001 came935 to the banquet4960 that Esther635 had prepared.6213

6 And the king4428 said559 to Esther635 at the banquet4960 of wine,3196 What4100 is your petition?7596 and it shall be granted5414 you: and what4100 is your request?1246 even to the half2677 of the kingdom4438 it shall be performed.6213

7 Then answered6032 Esther,635 and said,559 My petition7596 and my request1246 is;

8 If518 I have found4672 favor2580 in the sight5869 of the king,4428 and if518 it please2895 the king4428 to grant5414 my petition,7596 and to perform6213 my request,1246 let the king4428 and Haman2001 come935 to the banquet4960 that I shall prepare6213 for them, and I will do6213 to morrow4279 as the king4428 has said.1697

9 Then went3318 Haman2001 forth3318 that day3117 joyful8056 and with a glad2896 heart:3820 but when Haman2001 saw7200 Mordecai4782 in the king's4428 gate,8179 that he stood6965 not up, nor3808 moved2111 for him, he was full4390 of indignation2534 against5921 Mordecai.4782

10 Nevertheless Haman2001 refrained662 himself: and when he came935 home,1004 he sent7971 and called935 for his friends,157 and Zeresh2238 his wife.802

11 And Haman2001 told5608 them of the glory3519 of his riches,6239 and the multitude7230 of his children,1121 and all3605 the things wherein834 the king4428 had promoted1431 him, and how834 he had advanced5375 him above5921 the princes8269 and servants5650 of the king.4428

12 Haman2001 said559 moreover,637 Yes, Esther635 the queen4436 did let no3808 man come935 in with the king4428 to the banquet4960 that she had prepared6213 but myself; and to morrow4279 am I invited7121 to her also1571 with the king.4428

13 Yet all3605 this2088 avails7737 me nothing,369 so6256 long6256 as I see7200 Mordecai4782 the Jew3064 sitting3427 at the king's4428 gate.8179

14 Then said559 Zeresh2238 his wife802 and all3605 his friends157 to him, Let a gallows6086 be made6213 of fifty2572 cubits520 high,1364 and to morrow1242 speak559 you to the king4428 that Mordecai4782 may be hanged8518 thereon:5921 then go935 you in merrily8056 with the king4428 to the banquet.4960 And the thing1697 pleased3190 Haman;2001 and he caused the gallows6086 to be made.6213

1 NOW on the third day Esther put on her royal apparel and stood in the inner court of the king's house, opposite the king's house; and the king was sitting upon his royal throne opposite the gate of the house.

2 And when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near and held the top of the golden sceptre.

3 Then the king said to her, What troubles you, Queen Esther? And what is your request? It shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom.

4 And Esther answered, If it please the king, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I have pre pared for him.

5 Then the king said, Make haste to find Haman, that he may do as Esther has said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

6 And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What is your petition? And it shall be granted you; and what is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be given you.

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

8 If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king to grant my petition and to per form my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them tomorrow, as the king has said.

9 Then Haman went out that day joyful and glad in his heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai sitting in the king's gate, that he neither stood up nor moved for him, Haman was full of indignation against Mordecai.

10 Nevertheless Haman restrained himself; and when he went to his home, he sent and brought all his friends and Zeresh his wife.

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

12 Haman said moreover, Even Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but me; and to morrow I am invited by her together with the king.

13 Yet all this does not suffice me, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate; for he does not move from before me.

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

1 Now it came1961 to pass on the third7992 day,3117 that Esther635 put3847 on her royal4438 apparel,3847 and stood5975 in the inner6442 court2691 of the king's4428 house,1004 over5227 against5227 the king's4428 house:1004 and the king4428 sat3427 on his royal4438 throne3678 in the royal4438 house,1004 over5227 against5227 the gate6607 of the house.1004

1 NOW on the third day Esther put on her royal apparel and stood in the inner court of the king's house, opposite the king's house; and the king was sitting upon his royal throne opposite the gate of the house.

2 And it was so, when the king4428 saw7200 Esther635 the queen4436 standing5975 in the court,2691 that she obtained5375 favor2580 in his sight:5869 and the king4428 held3447 out to Esther635 the golden2091 scepter8275 that was in his hand.3027 So Esther635 drew near,7126 and touched5060 the top7218 of the scepter.8275

2 And when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near and held the top of the golden sceptre.

3 Then said559 the king4428 to her, What4100 will you, queen4436 Esther?635 and what4100 is your request?1246 it shall be even given5414 you to the half2677 of the kingdom.4438

3 Then the king said to her, What troubles you, Queen Esther? And what is your request? It shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom.

4 And Esther635 answered,559 If518 it seem good2895 to the king,4428 let the king4428 and Haman2001 come935 this day3117 to the banquet4960 that I have prepared6213 for him.

4 And Esther answered, If it please the king, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I have pre pared for him.

5 Then the king4428 said,559 Cause Haman2001 to make haste,4116 that he may do6213 as Esther635 has said.1697 So the king4428 and Haman2001 came935 to the banquet4960 that Esther635 had prepared.6213

5 Then the king said, Make haste to find Haman, that he may do as Esther has said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

6 And the king4428 said559 to Esther635 at the banquet4960 of wine,3196 What4100 is your petition?7596 and it shall be granted5414 you: and what4100 is your request?1246 even to the half2677 of the kingdom4438 it shall be performed.6213

6 And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What is your petition? And it shall be granted you; and what is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be given you.

7 Then answered6032 Esther,635 and said,559 My petition7596 and my request1246 is;

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

8 If518 I have found4672 favor2580 in the sight5869 of the king,4428 and if518 it please2895 the king4428 to grant5414 my petition,7596 and to perform6213 my request,1246 let the king4428 and Haman2001 come935 to the banquet4960 that I shall prepare6213 for them, and I will do6213 to morrow4279 as the king4428 has said.1697

8 If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king to grant my petition and to per form my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them tomorrow, as the king has said.

9 Then went3318 Haman2001 forth3318 that day3117 joyful8056 and with a glad2896 heart:3820 but when Haman2001 saw7200 Mordecai4782 in the king's4428 gate,8179 that he stood6965 not up, nor3808 moved2111 for him, he was full4390 of indignation2534 against5921 Mordecai.4782

9 Then Haman went out that day joyful and glad in his heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai sitting in the king's gate, that he neither stood up nor moved for him, Haman was full of indignation against Mordecai.

10 Nevertheless Haman2001 refrained662 himself: and when he came935 home,1004 he sent7971 and called935 for his friends,157 and Zeresh2238 his wife.802

10 Nevertheless Haman restrained himself; and when he went to his home, he sent and brought all his friends and Zeresh his wife.

11 And Haman2001 told5608 them of the glory3519 of his riches,6239 and the multitude7230 of his children,1121 and all3605 the things wherein834 the king4428 had promoted1431 him, and how834 he had advanced5375 him above5921 the princes8269 and servants5650 of the king.4428

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

12 Haman2001 said559 moreover,637 Yes, Esther635 the queen4436 did let no3808 man come935 in with the king4428 to the banquet4960 that she had prepared6213 but myself; and to morrow4279 am I invited7121 to her also1571 with the king.4428

12 Haman said moreover, Even Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared but me; and to morrow I am invited by her together with the king.

13 Yet all3605 this2088 avails7737 me nothing,369 so6256 long6256 as I see7200 Mordecai4782 the Jew3064 sitting3427 at the king's4428 gate.8179

13 Yet all this does not suffice me, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate; for he does not move from before me.

14 Then said559 Zeresh2238 his wife802 and all3605 his friends157 to him, Let a gallows6086 be made6213 of fifty2572 cubits520 high,1364 and to morrow1242 speak559 you to the king4428 that Mordecai4782 may be hanged8518 thereon:5921 then go935 you in merrily8056 with the king4428 to the banquet.4960 And the thing1697 pleased3190 Haman;2001 and he caused the gallows6086 to be made.6213

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