The number ^H4557 of men ^H376 of the people ^H5971 of Israel ^H3478:

There was a Jew ^H3064 at the citadel ^H1002 in Susa ^H7800 whose name ^H8034 was Mordecai ^H4782, the son ^H1121 of Jair ^H2971, the son ^H1121 of Shimei ^H8096, the son ^H1121 of Kish ^H7027, a Benjaminite ^H376 H3228,

Now when the turn ^H8447 of Esther ^H635, the daughter ^H1323 of Abihail ^H32 the uncle ^H1730 of Mordecai ^H4782 who ^H834 had taken ^H3947 her as his daughter ^H1323, came ^H5060 to go ^H935 in ^H935 to the king ^H4428, she did not request ^H1245 anything ^H1697 except ^H3588 H518 what ^H834 Hegai ^H1896, the king’s ^H4428 eunuch ^H5631 who was in ^H8104 charge ^H8104 of ^H8104 the women ^H802, [fn]advised ^H559. And Esther ^H635 was finding ^H5375 favor ^H2580 in the eyes ^H5869 of all ^H3605 who saw ^H7200 her.

Now when the virgins ^H1330 were gathered ^H6908 together for the second ^H8145 time ^H8145, then Mordecai ^H4782 was sitting ^H3427 at the king’s ^H4428 gate ^H8179.

When Mordecai ^H4782 learned ^H3045 of everything ^H3605 that had been done ^H6213, [fn]he tore ^H7167 his clothes ^H899, put ^H3847 on ^H3847 sackcloth ^H8242 and ashes ^H665, and went ^H3318 out ^H3318 into the midst ^H8432 of the city ^H5892 and wailed ^H2199 H2201 loudly ^H1419 and bitterly ^H4751.

Then Esther’s ^H635 attendants ^H5291 and her eunuchs ^H5631 came ^H935 and informed ^H5046 her, and the queen ^H4436 was seized ^H2342 by ^H2342 great ^H3966 fear ^H2342. And she sent ^H7971 garments ^H899 to clothe ^H3847 Mordecai ^H4782 so that he would remove ^H5493 his sackcloth ^H8242 from him, but he did not accept ^H6901 them.

So Hathach ^H2047 came ^H935 back and reported ^H5046 Mordecai’s ^H4782 words ^H1697 to Esther ^H635.

Then Haman ^H2001 went ^H3318 out ^H3318 that day ^H3117 joyful ^H8056 and pleased ^H2896 of heart ^H3820; but when Haman ^H2001 saw ^H7200 Mordecai ^H4782 at the king’s ^H4428 gate ^H8179 and that he did not stand ^H6965 up ^H6965 or tremble ^H2111 before ^H4480 him, Haman ^H2001 was filled ^H4390 with anger ^H2534 against ^H5921 Mordecai ^H4782.

Then the king ^H4428 said ^H559 to Haman ^H2001, “Quickly ^H4116, take ^H3947 the robe ^H3830 and the horse ^H5483 just ^H834 as ^H834 you have said ^H1696, and do ^H6213 so ^H3651 for Mordecai ^H4782 the Jew ^H3064, who is sitting ^H3427 at the king’s ^H4428 gate ^H8179; do not fail ^H5307 to ^H5307 do ^H5307 anything ^H1697 of all ^H3605 that you have said ^H1696.”

On that day ^H3117 King ^H4428 Ahasuerus ^H325 gave ^H5414 the house ^H1004 of Haman ^H2001, the enemy ^H6887 of the Jews ^H3064, to Queen ^H4436 Esther ^H635; and Mordecai ^H4782 came ^H935 before ^H6440 the king ^H4428, because ^H3588 Esther ^H635 had disclosed ^H5046 what ^H4100 he was to her.

So the king’s ^H4428 scribes ^H5608 were summoned ^H7121 at that time ^H6256 in the third ^H7992 month ^H2320 (that is, the month ^H2320 Sivan ^H5510), on the twenty-third ^H6242 H7969 [fn]day; and it was written ^H3789 in accordance with everything ^H3605 that Mordecai ^H4782 commanded ^H6680 the Jews ^H3064, the satraps ^H323, the governors ^H6346, and the officials ^H8269 of the provinces ^H4082 which ^H834 extended from India ^H1912 to [fn]Cush ^H3568, 127 ^{H7651 H6242 H3967} provinces ^H4082, to every ^H4082 province ^H4082 according to its script ^H3791, and to every ^H5971 people ^H5971 according to their language ^H3956, as well as to the Jews ^H3064 according to their script ^H3791 and their language ^H3956.

Then Mordecai ^H4782 went ^H3318 out ^H3318 from the presence ^H6440 of the king ^H4428 in a royal ^H4438 robe ^H3830 of violet ^H8504 and white ^H2353, with a large ^H1419 crown ^H5850 of gold ^H2091 and a garment ^H8509 of fine ^H948 linen ^H948 and purple ^H713; and the city ^H5892 of Susa ^H7800 shouted ^H6670 and rejoiced ^H8055.

Then Mordecai ^H4782 recorded ^H3789 these ^H428 events ^H1697, and he sent ^H7971 letters ^H5612 to all ^H3605 the Jews ^H3064 who ^H834 were in all ^H3605 the provinces ^H4082 of King ^H4428 Ahasuerus ^H325, both near ^H7138 and far ^H7350,

So the Jews ^H3064 undertook ^H6901 what ^H834 they had started ^H2490 to do ^H6213, and what ^H834 Mordecai ^H4782 had written ^H3789 to them.

Then Queen ^H4436 Esther ^H635, daughter ^H1323 of Abihail ^H32, with Mordecai ^H4782 the Jew ^H3064, wrote ^H3789 with full ^H3605 authority ^H8633 to confirm ^H6965 this ^H2088 second ^H8145 letter ^H107 about Purim ^H6332.
