1 Now in the twelfth H8147 month H2320 , that H1931 PPRO-3MS is , the month H2320 Adar H143 , on the thirteenth H7969 day H3117 NMS of the same , when H834 RPRO the king H4428 D-NMS \'s commandment H1697 CMS and his decree H1881 drew near H5060 to be put in execution H6213 , in the day H3117 BD-NMS that H834 RPRO the enemies H341 of the Jews H3064 hoped H7663 to have power H7980 over them , (though it H1931 PPRO-3MS was turned to the contrary H2015 , that H834 RPRO the Jews H3064 had rule over H7980 them H1992 PPRO-3MP that hated H8130 them ; )
2 The Jews H3064 gathered themselves together H6950 in their cities H5892 throughout all H3605 NMS the provinces H4082 of the king H4428 D-NMS Ahasuerus H325 , to lay H7971 hand H3027 NFS on such as sought H1245 their hurt H7451 : and no H3808 NADV man H376 W-NMS could withstand H5975 them ; for H3588 CONJ the fear H6343 of them fell H5307 upon H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS people H5971 .
3 And all H3605 W-CMS the rulers H8269 CMP of the provinces H4082 , and the lieutenants H323 , and the deputies H6346 , and officers H6213 of H834 RPRO the king H4428 , helped H5375 the Jews H3064 ; because H3588 CONJ the fear H6343 of Mordecai H4782 fell H5307 upon H5921 PREP-3MP them .
4 For H3588 CONJ Mordecai H4782 was great H1419 in the king H4428 D-NMS \'s house H1004 B-CMS , and his fame H8089 went out H1980 VQPMS throughout all H3605 B-CMS the provinces H4082 : for H3588 CONJ this man H376 D-NMS Mordecai H4782 waxed H1980 VQPMS greater and greater H1419 .
5 Thus the Jews H3064 smote H5221 W-VHY3MP all H3605 B-CMS their enemies H341 with the stroke H4347 of the sword H2719 GFS , and slaughter H2027 , and destruction H12 , and did H6213 what they would H7522 unto those that hated H8130 them .
6 And in Shushan H7800 the palace H1002 the Jews H3064 slew H2026 and destroyed H6 five H2568 BFS hundred H3967 BFP men H376 NMS .
7 And Parshandatha H6577 , and Dalphon H1813 , and Aspatha H630 ,
8 And Poratha H6334 , and Adalia H118 , and Aridatha H743 ,
9 And Parmashta H6534 , and Arisai H747 , and Aridai H742 , and Vajezatha H2055 ,
10 The ten H6235 sons H1121 of Haman H2001 the son H1121 of Hammedatha H4099 , the enemy H6887 of the Jews H3064 , slew H2026 they ; but on the spoil H961 laid H7971 they not H3808 NADV their hand H3027 .
11 On that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS the number H4557 CMS of those that were slain H2026 in Shushan H7800 the palace H1002 was brought H935 VQPMS before H6440 L-CMP the king H4428 .
12 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto Esther H635 the queen H4436 , The Jews H3064 have slain H2026 and destroyed H6 five H2568 BFS hundred H3967 BFP men H376 NMS in Shushan H7800 the palace H1002 , and the ten H6235 sons H1121 of Haman H2001 ; what H4100 IPRO have they done H6213 VQQ3MP in the rest H7605 of the king H4428 D-NMS \'s provinces H4082 ? now what H4100 W-IPRO is thy petition H7596 ? and it shall be granted H5414 thee : or what H4100 W-IPRO is thy request H1246 further H5750 ADV ? and it shall be done H6213 .
13 Then said H559 W-VQY3FS Esther H635 , If H518 PART it please H2895 the king H4428 D-NMS , let it be granted H5414 to the Jews H3064 which H834 RPRO are in Shushan H7800 to do H6213 L-VQFC tomorrow H4279 NMS also H1571 CONJ according unto this day H3117 D-AMS \'s decree H1881 , and let Haman H2001 \'s ten H6235 sons H1121 be hanged H8518 upon H5921 PREP the gallows H6086 .
14 And the king H4428 D-NMS commanded H559 W-VQY3MS it so H3651 ADV to be done H6213 : and the decree H1881 was given H5414 at Shushan H7800 ; and they hanged H8518 Haman H2001 \'s ten H6235 sons H1121 .
15 For the Jews H3064 that H834 RPRO were in Shushan H7800 gathered themselves together H6950 on the fourteenth H702 MMS day H3117 B-NMS also H1571 CONJ of the month H2320 Adar H143 , and slew H2026 three H7969 BFS hundred H3967 BFP men H376 NMS at Shushan H7800 ; but on the prey H961 they laid H7971 not H3808 NADV their hand H3027 .
16 But the other H7605 Jews H3064 that H834 RPRO were in the king H4428 D-NMS \'s provinces H4082 gathered themselves together H6950 , and stood H5975 for H5921 PREP their lives H5315 CFS-3MP , and had rest H5117 from their enemies H341 , and slew H2026 of their foes H8130 seventy H7657 W-MMP and five H2568 thousand H505 MMS , but they laid H7971 not H3808 NADV their hands H3027 on the prey H961 ,
17 On the thirteenth H7969 NFS day H3117 B-NMS of the month H2320 Adar H143 ; and on the fourteenth H702 day of the same rested H5117 they , and made H6213 it a day H3117 B-NMS of feasting H4960 NMS and gladness H8057 .
18 But the Jews H3064 that H834 RPRO were at Shushan H7800 assembled together H6950 on the thirteenth H7969 day thereof , and on the fourteenth H702 thereof ; and on the fifteenth H2568 day of the same they rested H5117 , and made H6213 it a day H3117 NMS of feasting H4960 NMS and gladness H8057 .
19 Therefore H5921 PREP the Jews H3064 of the villages H6521 , that dwelt H3427 in the unwalled H6519 towns H5892 B-CFP , made H6213 the fourteenth H702 MMS day H3117 NMS of the month H2320 Adar H143 a day of gladness H8057 and feasting H4960 , and a good H2896 AMS day H3117 NUM-MS , and of sending H4916 portions H4490 one H376 NMS to another H7453 L-CMS-3MS .
20 And Mordecai H4782 wrote H3789 these H428 D-DPRO-3MP things H1697 AMP , and sent H7971 W-VQY3MS letters H5612 unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the Jews H3064 that H834 RPRO were in all H3605 NMS the provinces H4082 of the king H4428 D-NMS Ahasuerus H325 , both nigh H7138 and far H7350 ,
21 To establish H6965 this among H5921 PREP-3MP them , that they should H1961 keep H6213 the fourteenth H702 MMS day H3117 NMS of the month H2320 Adar H143 , and the fifteenth H2568 day H3117 NMS of the same , yearly H3605 B-CMS ,
22 As the days H3117 wherein H834 RPRO the Jews H3064 rested H5117 from their enemies H341 , and the month H2320 which H834 RPRO was turned H2015 VNQ3MS unto them from sorrow H3015 to joy H8057 , and from mourning H60 into a good H2896 AMS day H3117 L-NMS : that they should make H6213 L-VQFC them days H3117 CMP of feasting H4960 NMS and joy H8057 , and of sending H4916 portions H4490 one H376 NMS to another H7453 L-CMS-3MS , and gifts H4979 to the poor H34 .
23 And the Jews H3064 undertook H6901 to do H6213 L-VQFC as H834 RPRO they had begun H2490 , and as H834 RPRO Mordecai H4782 had written H3789 CMS unto H413 them ;
24 Because H3588 CONJ Haman H2001 the son H1121 of Hammedatha H4099 , the Agagite H91 , the enemy H6887 of all H3605 NMS the Jews H3064 , had devised H2803 against H5921 PREP the Jews H3064 to destroy H6 them , and had cast H5307 Pur H6332 , that H1931 PPRO-3MS is , the lot H1486 D-NMS , to consume H2000 them , and to destroy H6 them ;
25 But when Esther came H935 before H6440 L-CMP the king H4428 D-NMS , he commanded H559 VQQ3MS by H5973 PREP letters H5612 that his wicked H7451 D-AFS device H4284 , which H834 RPRO he devised H2803 against H5921 PREP the Jews H3064 , should return H7725 VQY3MS upon H5921 PREP his own head H7218 CMS-3MS , and that he and his sons H1121 CMP-3MS should be hanged H8518 on H5921 PREP the gallows H6086 .
26 Wherefore H5921 PREP they called H7121 these H428 D-DPRO-3MP days H3117 Purim H6332 after H5921 PREP the name H8034 CMS of Pur H6332 . Therefore H5921 PREP for H5921 PREP all H3605 NMS the words H1697 CMP of this H2063 D-DFS letter H107 , and of that which H4100 they had seen H7200 VQQ3MP concerning H5921 PREP this matter H3602 ADV , and which H4100 W-IGAT had come H5060 unto H413 them ,
27 The Jews H3064 ordained H6965 , and took H6901 upon H5921 PREP-3MP them , and upon H5921 W-PREP their seed H2233 CMS-3MP , and upon H5921 W-PREP all H3605 NMS such as joined themselves H3867 unto H5921 PREP-3MP them , so as it should not H3808 W-NPAR fail H5674 , that they would keep H6213 these H428 D-DPRO-3MP two H8147 ONUM days H3117 D-NMP according to their writing H3791 , and according H2165 to their H3605 appointed H3605 every H3605 year H8141 NFS ;
28 And that these H428 D-DPRO-3MP days H3117 should be remembered H2142 and kept H6213 throughout every H3605 B-CMS generation H1755 , every family H4940 , every province H4082 , and every city H5892 ; and that these H428 D-DPRO-3MP days H3117 of Purim H6332 should not H3808 NADV fail H5674 from among H8432 the Jews H3064 , nor H3808 NADV the memorial H2143 of them perish H5486 from their seed H2233 .
29 Then Esther H635 the queen H4436 , the daughter H1323 of Abihail H32 , and Mordecai H4782 the Jew H3064 , wrote H3789 with H854 PREP all H3605 NMS authority H8633 , to confirm H6965 this H2063 D-DFS second H8145 letter H107 of Purim H6332 .
30 And he sent H7971 W-VQY3MS the letters H5612 unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the Jews H3064 , to H413 PREP the hundred H3967 twenty H6242 W-MMP and seven H7651 MFS provinces H4082 of the kingdom H4438 CFP of Ahasuerus H325 , with words H1697 CMP of peace H7965 NMS and truth H571 ,
31 To confirm H6965 these H428 D-DPRO-3MP days H3117 CMP of Purim H6332 in their times H2165 appointed , according as H834 K-RPRO Mordecai H4782 the Jew H3064 and Esther H635 the queen H4436 had enjoined H6965 them , and as H834 they had decreed H6965 for H5921 PREP themselves H5315 CFS-3MP and for H5921 PREP their seed H2233 CMS-3MP , the matters H1697 CMP of the fastings H6685 and their cry H2201 .
32 And the decree H3982 of Esther H635 confirmed H6965 these H428 D-DPRO-3MP matters H1697 CMP of Purim H6332 ; and it was written H3789 in the book H5612 .
