<Letb -bigtha> <Letb -biztha> <Letc -carcas> <Letc -

EST 1: 12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's

EST 1: 14 And the next unto him [was] Carshena, Shethar, Admatha,

Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, [and] Memucan, the seven princes of

Persia and Media, which saw the king's face, [and] which sat the

<Lett -tarshish> <Letw -which>

EST 1: 15 What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to

law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king

Ahasuerus by the chamberlains? <Leta -ahasuerus> <Letb -because>

<Letc -chamberlains> <Letc -commandment> <Letd -do> <Leth -hath>

<Letk -king> <Letl -law> <Letp -performed> <Letq -queen> <Lets -

EST 1: 16 And Memucan answered before the king and the princes,

Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also

to all the princes, and to all the people that [are] in all the

provinces of the king Ahasuerus. <Leta -ahasuerus> <Leta -all>

<Letv -vashti> <Letw -wrong>

EST 1: 17 For [this] deed of the queen shall come abroad unto

all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their

eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded

Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.

<Leta -ahasuerus> <Leta -all> <Letb -before> <Letb -brought>

<Letc -came> <Letc -come> <Letc -commanded> <Letd -deed> <Letd -

EST 1: 18 [Likewise] shall the ladies of Persia and Media say

this day unto all the king's princes, which have heard of the

deed of the queen. Thus [shall there arise] too much contempt

and wrath. <Leta -all> <Leta -arise> <Letc -contempt> <Letd -

<Lett -thus> <Lett -too> <Letw -which> <Letw -wrath>

EST 1: 19 If it please the king, let there go a royal

commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of

the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti

come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her

royal estate unto another that is better than she. <Leta -

EST 1: 20 And when the king's decree which he shall make shall

be published throughout all his empire, ( for it is great, ) all

the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and

EST 1: 21 And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and

the king did according to the word of Memucan: <Letd -did> <Letk

EST 1: 22 For he sent letters into all the king's provinces,

into every province according to the writing thereof, and to

every people after their language, that every man should bear

rule in his own house, and that [it] should be published

according to the language of every people. <Leta -after> <Leta -

EST 2: 1 After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus

was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and

what was decreed against her. <Leta -after> <Leta -against>

<Leta -ahasuerus> <Leta -appeased> <Letd -decreed> <Letd -done>

<Letw -wrath>

EST 2: 2 Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him,

Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king: <Letf -

EST 2: 3 And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces

of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young

virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto

the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women;

and let their things for purification be given [them] : <Leta -

<Letv -virgins> <Letw -women> <Lety -young>

EST 2: 4 And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen

instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.

<Letd -did> <Leti -instead> <Letk -king> <Letl -let> <Letm -

EST 2: 5 [Now] in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew,

whose name [was] Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei,

the son of Kish, a Benjamite; <Letb -benjamite> <Letc -certain>

<Letj -jair> <Letj -jew> <Letk -kish> <Letm -mordecai> <Letn -

EST 2: 6 Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the

captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of

Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.

<Leta -away> <Letb -babylon> <Letb -been> <Letc -captivity>

<Letc -carried> <Leth -had> <Letj -jeconiah> <Letj -jerusalem>

<Letj -judah> <Letk -king> <Letn -nebuchadnezzar> <Letw -which>

<Letw -who> <Letw -whom> <Letw -with>

EST 2: 7 And he brought up Hadassah, that [is] , Esther, his

uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the

maid [was] fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father

and mother were dead, took for his own daughter. <Letb -

<Letw -whom>

EST 2: 8 So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his

decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together

unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther

was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai,

keeper of the women. <Leta -also> <Letb -brought> <Letc -came>

<Letw -when> <Letw -women>

EST 2: 9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness

of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification,

with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, [which

were] meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he

preferred her and her maids unto the best [place] of the house

of the women. <Letb -belonged> <Letb -best> <Letg -gave> <Letg -

EST 2: 10 Esther had not showed her people nor her kindred: for

Mordecai had charged her that she should not show [it] . <Letc -

<Lets -show> <Lets -showed>

EST 2: 11 And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the

women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of

her. <Letb -become> <Letb -before> <Letc -court> <Letd -day>

<Letd -did> <Lete -esther> <Lete -every> <Leth -house> <Leth -

<Letw -what>

EST 2: 12 Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king

Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to

the manner of the women, ( for so were the days of their

purifications accomplished, [to wit] , six months with oil of

myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with [other] things

for the purifying of the women; ) <Leta -after> <Leta -

ahasuerus> <Letb -been> <Letc -come> <Letd -days> <Lete -every>

EST 2: 13 Then thus came [every] maiden unto the king;

whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the

house of the women unto the king's house. <Letc -came> <Letd -

<Letk -king> <Letm -maiden> <Lets -she> <Lett -then> <Lett -

EST 2: 14 In the evening she went, and on the morrow she

returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of

Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, which kept the concubines:

she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in

her, and that she were called by name. <Letc -called> <Letc -

<Letd -delighted> <Lete -evening> <Lete -except> <Leth -house>

<Lets -second> <Lets -shaashgaz> <Lets -she> <Letw -went> <Letw -

EST 2: 15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail

the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was

come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai

the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And

Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon

her. <Leta -all> <Leta -appointed> <Letc -chamberlain> <Letc -

<Letw -who> <Letw -women>

EST 2: 16 So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house

royal in the tenth month, which [is] the month Tebeth, in the

seventh year of his reign. <Leta -ahasuerus> <Lete -esther>

<Leth -house> <Leti -into> <Letk -king> <Letm -month> <Letr -

<Lett -tebeth> <Lett -tenth> <Letw -which> <Lety -year>

EST 2: 17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she

obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins;

so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her

queen instead of Vashti. <Leta -all> <Letc -crown> <Lete -

EST 2: 18 Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes

and his servants, [ even] Esther's feast; and he made a release

to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the

king. <Leta -all> <Lete -even> <Letf -feast> <Letg -gave> <Letg -

EST 2: 20 Esther had not [yet] showed her kindred nor her people;

as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of

Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him. <Letb -

EST 2: 21 In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate,

two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those

which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the

king Ahasuerus. <Leta -ahasuerus> <Letb -bigthan> <Letc -

EST 2: 22 And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told [it]

unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king [thereof]

in Mordecai's name. <Letc -certified> <Lete -esther> <Letk -

<Lett -thereof> <Lett -thing> <Lett -told> <Letw -who>

EST 2: 23 And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was

found out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was

written in the book of the chronicles before the king. <Letb -

EST 3: 2 And all the king's servants, that [were] in the king's

concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did [him] reverence.

EST 3: 3 Then the king's servants, which [were] in the king's

EST 3: 4 Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him,

and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see

whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them

that he [was] a Jew. <Letc -came> <Letd -daily> <Leth -had>

EST 3: 6 And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone;

for they had showed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman

sought to destroy all the Jews that [ were] throughout the whole

kingdom of Ahasuerus, [even] the people of Mordecai. <Leta -

EST 3: 7 In the first month, that [is] , the month Nisan, in the

EST 3: 8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain

people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all

the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws [are] diverse from

all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it [is]

not for the king's profit to suffer them. <Leta -ahasuerus>

EST 3: 9 If it please the king, let it be written that they may

be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to

EST 3: 10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it

unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.

EST 3: 12 Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth

day of the first month, and there was written according to all

that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the

governors that [were] over every province, and to the rulers of

every people of every province according to the writing thereof,

and [to] every people after their language; in the name of king

EST 3: 13 And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's

provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews,

both young and old, little children and women, in one day,

[even] upon the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth month, which is

EST 3: 14 The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given

EST 3: 15 The posts went out, being hastened by the king's

commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And

the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was

perplexed. <Letb -being> <Letc -city> <Letc -commandment> <Letd -

EST 4: 1 When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai

rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out

into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter

cry; <Leta -all> <Leta -ashes> <Letb -bitter> <Letc -city> <Letc

EST 4: 3 And in every province, whithersoever the king's

among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many

lay in sackcloth and ashes. <Leta -among> <Leta -ashes> <Letc -

EST 4: 4 So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told

[it] her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent

raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from

him: but he received [it] not. <Leta -away> <Letc -came> <Letc -

EST 4: 5 Then called Esther for Hatach, [one] of the king's

chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave

him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it [was] , and why

it [was] . <Leta -appointed> <Leta -attend> <Letc -called> <Letc

EST 4: 8 Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree

that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to show [it] unto

Esther, and to declare [it] unto her, and to charge her that she

should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and

to make request before him for her people. <Leta -also> <Letb -

EST 4: 11 All the king's servants, and the people of the king's

provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall

come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called,

[there is] one law of his to put [him] to death, except such to

whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may

live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these

EST 4: 14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time,

[then] shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews

from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be

destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom

for [such] a time as this? <Leta -altogether> <Leta -another>

<Leta -answer> <Letb -bade> <Lete -esther> <Letm -mordecai>

<Letr -return> <Lett -then> <Lett -this>

EST 4: 16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in

Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three

days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise;

and so will I go in unto the king, which [is] not according to

EST 4: 17 So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all

that Esther had commanded him. <Leta -all> <Letc -commanded>

<Letd -did> <Lete -esther> <Leth -had> <Leth -him> <Letm -

EST 5: 1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put

on [her] royal [ apparel] , and stood in the inner court of the

king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat

upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate

of the house. <Leta -against> <Leta -apparel> <Letc -came> <Letc

EST 5: 2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen

standing in the court, [ that] she obtained favour in his sight:

and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that [was] in

his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the

sceptre. <Letc -court> <Letd -drew> <Lete -esther> <Letf -

EST 5: 8 If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if

EST 5: 9 Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad

stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation

Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak
