Esther 9 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

The Jews Destroy Their Enemies

Est 9:1Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's mitzvah and his decree drew near to be put in execution, on the day that the enemies of the Yehudim hoped to have rule over them, (whereas it was turned to the contrary, that the Yehudim had rule over those who hated them,)

Est 9:2

Est 9:2the Yehudim gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Achashverosh, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them was fallen on all the peoples.

Est 9:3

Est 9:3All the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and those who did the king's business, helped the Yehudim; because the fear of Mordekhai was fallen on them.

Est 9:4

Est 9:4For Mordekhai was great in the king's house, and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordekhai grew greater and greater.

Est 9:5

Est 9:5The Yehudim struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and with slaughter and destruction, and did what they would to those who hated them.

Est 9:6

Est 9:6In Shushan the palace the Yehudim killed and destroyed five hundred men.

Est 9:7

Est 9:7Parshandata, and Dalfon, and Aspata,

Est 9:8

Est 9:8and Porata, and Adalyah, and Aridata,

Est 9:9

Est 9:9and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizata,

Est 9:10

Est 9:10the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedata, the Yehudi's enemy, killed they; but they didn't lay their hand on the spoil.

Est 9:11

Est 9:11On that day the number of those who were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.

Est 9:12

Est 9:12The king said to Ester the queen, The Yehudim have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces! Now what is your petition? and it shall be granted you: or what is your request further? and it shall be done.

Est 9:13

Est 9:13Then said Ester, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Yehudim who are in Shushan to do tomorrow also according to this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged on the gallows.

Est 9:14

Est 9:14The king commanded it so to be done: and a decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.

Est 9:15

Est 9:15The Yehudim who were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and killed three hundred men in Shushan; but they didn't lay their hand on the spoil.

Est 9:16

Est 9:16The other Yehudim who were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and killed of those who hated them seventy-five thousand; but they didn't lay their hand on the spoil.

Est 9:17

Est 9:17This was done on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

Est 9:18

Est 9:18But the Yehudim who were in Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day of it, and on the fourteenth of it; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

Est 9:19

Est 9:19Therefore do the Yehudim of the villages, who dwell in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.

The Feast of Purim Instituted

Est 9:20

Est 9:20Mordekhai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Yehudim who were in all the provinces of the king Achashverosh, both near and far,

Est 9:21

Est 9:21to enjoin those who they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,

Est 9:22

Est 9:22as the days in which the Yehudim had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the needy.

Est 9:23

Est 9:23The Yehudim undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordekhai had written to them;

Est 9:24

Est 9:24because Haman the son of Hammedata, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Yehudim, had plotted against the Yehudim to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;

Est 9:25

Est 9:25but when the matter came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Yehudim, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

Est 9:26

Est 9:26Therefore they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come to them,

Est 9:27

Est 9:27the Yehudim ordained, and took on them, and on their seed, and on all such as joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to the writing of it, and according to the appointed time of it, every year;

Est 9:28

Est 9:28and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Yehudim, nor the memory of them perish from their seed.

Est 9:29

Est 9:29Then Ester the queen, the daughter of Avichayil, and Mordekhai the Yehudi, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.

Est 9:30

Est 9:30He sent letters to all the Yehudim, to the hundred twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Achashverosh, with words of shalom and truth,

Est 9:31

Est 9:31to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, according as Mordekhai the Yehudi and Ester the queen had enjoined them, and as they had ordained for themselves and for their seed, in the matter of the fastings and their cry.

Est 9:32

Est 9:32The mitzvah of Ester confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
