V.1 After 310 these things 1697 did king 4428 Ahasuerus 325 promote 1431-14 Haman 2001 the son 1121 of Hammedatha 4099 the Agagite, 91 and advanced 5375-17 him, and set 7760-4 his seat 3678 above all the princes 8269 that [were] with him.

3:2 And all the king's 4428 servants, 5650 that [were] in the king's 4428 gate, 8179 bowed, 3766-6 and reverenced 7812-102 Haman: 2001 for the king 4428 had so commanded 6680-14 concerning him. But Mordecai 4782 bowed 3766-4 not, nor did [him] reverence. 7812-101

3:3 Then the king's 4428 servants, 5650 which [were] in the king's 4428 gate, 8179 said 559-4 unto Mordecai, 4782 Why transgressest 5674-6 thou the king's 4428 commandment? 4687

3:4 Now it came to pass, when they spake 559-2 daily 3117 3117 unto him, and he hearkened 8085-1 not unto them, that they told 5046-55 Haman, 2001 to see 7200-2 whether Mordecai's 4782 matters 1697 would stand: 5975-4 for he had told 5046-52 them that he [was] a Jew. 3064

3:5 And when Haman 2001 saw 7200-4 that Mordecai 4782 bowed 3766-6 not, nor did him reverence, 7812-102 then was Haman 2001 full 4390-11 of wrath. 2534

3:6 And he thought 5869 scorn 959-4 to lay 7971-2 hands 3027 on Mordecai 4782 alone; for they had shewed 5046-52 him the people 5971 of Mordecai: 4782 wherefore Haman 2001 sought 1245-17 to destroy 8045-53 all the Jews 3064 that [were] throughout the whole kingdom 4438 of Ahasuerus, 325 [even] the people 5971 of Mordecai. 4782

3:7 In the first 7223 month, 2320 that [is], the month 2320 Nisan, 5212 in the twelfth 8147 6240 year 8141 of king 4428 Ahasuerus, 325 they cast 5307-52 Pur, 6332 that [is], the lot, 1486 before 6440 Haman 2001 from day 3117 to day, 3117 and from month 2320 to month, 2320 [to] the twelfth 8147 6240 [month], that [is], the month 2320 Adar. 143

3:8 And Haman 2001 said 559-4 unto king 4428 Ahasuerus, 325 There is 3426 a certain 259 people 5971 scattered abroad 6340-30 and dispersed 6504-30 among the people 5971 in all the provinces 4082 of thy kingdom; 4438 and their laws 1881 [are] diverse 8138-6 from all people; 5971 neither keep 6213- 6 they the king's 4428 laws: 1881 therefore it [is] not for the king's 4428 profit 7737-6 to suffer 3240-53 them.

3:9 If it please 2895-1 the king, 4428 let it be written 3789-11 that they may be destroyed: 6-15 and I will pay 8254- 4 ten 6235 thousand 505 talents 3603 of silver 3701 to the hands 3027 of those that have the charge 6213-6 of the business, 4399 to bring 935-53 [it] into the king's 4428 treasuries. 1595

3:10 And the king 4428 took 5493-55 his ring 2885 from his hand, 3027 and gave 5414-4 it unto Haman 2001 the son 1121 of Hammedatha 4099 the Agagite, 91 the Jews' 3064 enemy. 6887-6

3:11 And the king 4428 said 559-4 unto Haman, 2001 The silver 3701 [is] given 5414-7 to thee, the people 5971 also, to do 6213-2 with them as it seemeth 5869 good 2896 to thee.

3:12 Then were the king's 4428 scribes 5608-6 called 7121-11 on the thirteenth 7969 6240 day 3117 of the first 7223 month, 2320 and there was written 3789-11 according to all that Haman 2001 had commanded 6680-14 unto the king's 4428 lieutenants, 323 and to the governors 6346 that [were] over every province, 4082 4082 and to the rulers 8269 of every people 5971 5971 of every province 4082 4082 according to the writing 3791 thereof, and [to] every people 5971 5971 after their language; 3956 in the name 8034 of king 4428 Ahasuerus 325 was it written, 3789-12 and sealed 2856-8 with the king's 4428 ring. 2885

3:13 And the letters 5612 were sent 7971-9 by 3027 posts 7323-5 into all the king's 4428 provinces, 4082 to destroy, 8045-53 to kill, 2026-2 and to cause to perish, 6-15 all Jews, 3064 both young 5288 and old, 2205 little children 2945 and women, 802 in one 259 day, 3117 [even] upon the thirteenth 7969 6240 [day] of the twelfth 8147 6240 month, 2320 which is the month 2320 Adar, 143 and [to take] the spoil 7998 of them for a prey. 962-2

3:14 The copy 6572 of the writing 3791 for a commandment 1881 to be given 5414-9 in every province 4082 4082 was published 1540-7 unto all people, 5971 that they should be ready 6264 against that day. 3117
