*
and Haman said to the king , "
For the man whom the king delights to honor ,
*
let royal robes be brought ,
which the king has worn ,
and the horse which the king has ridden ,
and on whose head a royal crown is set ;
*
and let the robes and the horse be handed over to one of the king '
s most noble princes ;
let him array the man whom the king delights to honor ,
and let him conduct the man on horseback through the open square of the city ,
proclaiming before him : `
Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor .'"
*
Then the king said to Haman , "
Make haste ,
take the robes and the horse ,
as you have said ,
and do so to Mor '
decai the Jew who sits at the king '
s gate .
Leave out nothing that you have mentioned ."
*
So Haman took the robes and the horse ,
and he arrayed Mor '
decai and made him ride through the open square of the city ,
proclaiming , "
Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor ."
*
Then Mor '
decai returned to the king '
s gate .
But Haman hurried to his house ,
mourning and with his head covered .
