rotherham@Esther:7:1 @ So the king and Haman came in, to banquet with Esther the queen.
rotherham@Esther:7:2 @ Then said the king unto Esther, on the second day also, during the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, Queen Esther, that it may be granted thee? and what is thy requestunto the half of the kingdomthat it may be performed?
rotherham@Esther:7:3 @ Then answered Esther the queen, and said, If I have found favour in thine eyes, O king, and if, unto the king, it seem good, let my life be granted me, as my petition, and my people, as my request;
rotherham@Esther:7:4 @ For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain and to be caused to perish. If indeed, for bondmen and for bondwomen, we had been sold, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have made good the damage to the king.
rotherham@Esther:7:5 @ Then spake King Ahasuerus, and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he now, and where is he, whose heart is set to act thus?
rotherham@Esther:7:6 @ And Esther said, A man who is an adversary and enemy, this wicked Haman. And, Haman, was terrified, before the king and the queen.
rotherham@Esther:7:7 @ Now, the king, arising in his wrath from the banquet of wine, and going into the palace garden, Haman, stood to make request for his life from Esther the queen, for he saw that ruin, was determined against him, by the king.
rotherham@Esther:7:8 @ When, the king, returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine, Haman, was lying prostrate upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he, even dare to force the queen, while I am in the house? No sooner had the word gone forth out of the mouth of the king, than, the face of Haman, they had covered.
rotherham@Esther:7:9 @ Then said Harbonahone of the eunuchs before the king Yea lo! the gallows that Haman made ready for Mordecai, who had spoken well for the king, is standing in Hamans house, of a height of fifty cubits. Then said the king, Hang him thereon.

rotherham@Esther:8:1 @ On that day, did King Ahasuerus give unto Esther the queen, the house of Haman, the adversary of the Jews, and, Mordecai, came in before the king, for Esther had told, what he was to her.
rotherham@Esther:8:2 @ And the king took off his signet-ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai, and Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
rotherham@Esther:8:3 @ Yet again, spake Esther before the king, and fell down at his feet, and wept and made supplication unto him, to cause the mischief of Haman the Agagite to pass away, even the plot which he had plotted against the Jews.
rotherham@Esther:8:4 @ And the king held out unto Esther, the golden sceptre, so Esther arose, and stood before the king;
rotherham@Esther:8:5 @ and said If, unto the king, it seem good, and if I have found favour before him, and the thing be approved before the king, and, I myself, be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written, to reverse the letters plotted by Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy thee Jews, who are in all the provinces of the king.
rotherham@Esther:8:6 @ For how can I endure to see the ruin that shall overtake my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
rotherham@Esther:8:7 @ Then said King Ahasuerus unto Esther the queen, and unto Mordecai the Jew, Lo! the house of Haman, have I given unto Esther, and, him, have they hanged upon the gallows, because he thrust forth his hand against the Jews.
rotherham@Esther:8:8 @ Ye, therefore, write concerning the Jews as may seem good in your own eyes, in the name of the king, and seal it with the kings signet-ring, for a writing which hath been written in the kings name, and sealed with the kings signet-ring, none can reverse.
rotherham@Esther:8:9 @ Then were called the kings scribes at that timein the third month, the same, is the month Siwan, on the twenty-third thereof, and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and unto the satraps and pashas and rulers of the provinces, which are from India even unto Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven provinces, every province according to the writing thereof, and every people according to their tongue, and unto the Jews, according to their writing, and according to their tongue;
rotherham@Esther:8:10 @ and he wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the kings signet-ring, and sent letters by the hand of runners on horses, riding the swift steeds used in the kings service, bred of the stud:
rotherham@Esther:8:11 @ That the king had granted unto the Jews who were in every city, to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay and to cause to perishall the force of the people and province who should distress them, their little ones and women, and the spoil of them as a prey:
rotherham@Esther:8:12 @ upon one day, throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, upon the thirteenth of the twelfth month, the same, is the month Adar:
rotherham@Esther:8:13 @ A copy of the writing to be given, as an edict, throughout every province, was published to all the peoples, and that the Jews be ready against that day, to avenge themselves on their enemies.
rotherham@Esther:8:14 @ The runners that rode on the swift steeds used in the kings service, went forth, being urged forward and pressed on, by the word of the king, and, the edict, was given in Shusan the palace.
rotherham@Esther:8:15 @ And, Mordecai, went forth from the presence of the king, in royal apparel, of blue and white, with a large diadem of gold, and a mantle of fine linen and purple, and, the city Shusan, was bright and joyful.
rotherham@Esther:8:16 @ To the Jews, had come light, and joy, and gladness and honour.
rotherham@Esther:8:17 @ And, in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the word of the king and his edict did reach, joy and gladness, had the Jews, a banquet and a happy day, and, many from among the peoples of the land, were becoming Jews, for the dread of the Jews had fallen upon them.
rotherham@Esther:9:1 @ And, in the twelfth month, the same, is the month Adar, on the thirteenth day thereof, when the word of the king and his edict arrived to be put in execution, on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, though it, was changed, so that the Jews themselves should have power over them who hated them,
rotherham@Esther:9:2 @ the Jews assembled themselves together in their cities, throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, to thrust forth a hand against them who were seeking their hurt, and, no man, stood before them, for the dread of them had fallen upon all the peoples.
rotherham@Esther:9:3 @ And, all the rulers of the provinces, and the satraps and the pashas, and the doers of business that pertained to the king, were extolling the Jews, for the dread of Mordecai, had fallen upon them;
rotherham@Esther:9:4 @ since great was Mordecai, in the house of the king, and, his fame, was going forth throughout all the provinces, for, the man Mordecai, went on waxing great.
rotherham@Esther:9:5 @ So then the Jews smote all their enemies, with the smiting of the sword and slaughter, and destruction, and they dealt with them who hated them according to their pleasure.
rotherham@Esther:9:6 @ Yea, in Shusan the palace, did the Jews slay and destroy five hundred men.
rotherham@Esther:9:7 @ And Parshandatha and Dalphon, and Aspatha;
rotherham@Esther:9:8 @ and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha;
rotherham@Esther:9:9 @ and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha;
rotherham@Esther:9:10 @ the ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the adversary of the Jews, slew they, but, on the spoil, thrust they not forth their hand.
rotherham@Esther:9:11 @ On that day, came in the number of the slain into Shusan the palace, before the king.
rotherham@Esther:9:12 @ Then said the king unto Esther the queen, In Shusan the palace, have the Jews slain and caused to perish five hundred men, and the ten sons of Haman, in the rest of the provinces of the king, what have they done? What, then, is thy petition, that it may be granted thee? and what is thy request further, that it may he performed?
rotherham@Esther:9:13 @ Then said Esther, If, unto the king, it seem good, let it be granted, to-morrow also, unto the Jews who are in Shusan, to do according to the edict of to-day, and that, the ten sons of Haman, be hanged upon the gallows.
rotherham@Esther:9:14 @ And the king commanded it to be done so, and there was given an edict, in Shusan, and, the ten sons of Haman, they hanged.
rotherham@Esther:9:15 @ So the Jews who were in Shusan assembled themselves together, on the fourteenth day also, of the month Adar, and slew in Shusan three hundred men, but, on the spoil, thrust they not forth their hand.
rotherham@Esther:9:16 @ And, the remainder of the Jews who were in the provinces of the king, assembled themselves together and stood for their life, and then had rest from their enemies, having slain of them that hated them seventy-five thousand, but, on the spoil, thrust they not forth their hand:
rotherham@Esther:9:17 @ on the thirteenth day of the month Adar, and then had rest on the fourteenth day thereof, and made it a day of banqueting and rejoicing.
rotherham@Esther:9:18 @ But, the Jews who were in Shusan, assembled themselves together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth day thereof, and then had rest on the fifteenth day thereof, and made it a day of banqueting and rejoicing.
rotherham@Esther:9:19 @ For this cause, the country Jews, who dwelt in the country towns, were making the fourteenth day of the month Adar one of rejoicing and banqueting, and a day of happiness, and of sending portions every one to his neighbour.
rotherham@Esther:9:20 @ And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, near, and far off;
rotherham@Esther:9:21 @ to establish for them, that they should continue to observe the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day thereof, always year by year;
rotherham@Esther:9:22 @ according to the days wherein the Jews found rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned for them, from sorrow to joy, and from mourning to a happy day, that they should make them days of banqueting and rejoicing, and of sending portions, every one to his neighbour, and gifts, unto the needy.
rotherham@Esther:9:23 @ And the Jews took upon them that which they had begun to do, and that which Mordecai had written unto them;
rotherham@Esther:9:24 @ because, Haman, son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the adversary of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews, to cause them to perish, and had cast Pur, the same, is the Lot, to terrify them, and to destroy them;
rotherham@Esther:9:25 @ but, by going in before the king, he commanded by letter, that his wicked plot which he had plotted against the Jews, should return, upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged upon the gallows.
rotherham@Esther:9:26 @ For this cause, called they these days Purim, after the name Pur, for this cause, for all the words of this epistle, and what they had seen concerning such a matter, and what had reached unto them.
rotherham@Esther:9:27 @ The Jews established and took upon themselvesand upon their seed, and upon all who should join themselves unto them, that it might not pass away, that they would continue to keep these two days, according to the writing concerning them and at their set time, always year by year.
rotherham@Esther:9:28 @ And, these days, were to be remembered and to be kept, always from generation to generation, by every family, every province, and every city, that, these days of Purim, should not pass away, out of the midst of the Jews, and, the memorial of them, not cease from their seed.
rotherham@Esther:9:29 @ Then wrote Esther the queen daughter of Abihail and Mordecai the Jew, with all authority, to confirm this second epistle concerning the Purim;
rotherham@Esther:9:30 @ and he sent letters unto all the Jews, throughout the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, words of peace and stability:
rotherham@Esther:9:31 @ to establish these days of the Purim, in their set times, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined upon them, and according as they had enjoined upon their own soul, and upon their seed, the story of the fastings and of their outcry.
rotherham@Esther:9:32 @ And, the command of Esther, confirmed the story of these Purim, and it was written in a book.
rotherham@Esther:10:1 @ And King Ahasuerus laid tribute upon the land, and upon the shores of the sea.
rotherham@Esther:10:2 @ But, all the acts of his authority, and his might, and the clear story of the promotion of Mordecai, wherewith the king promoted him, are, they, not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
rotherham@Esther:10:3 @ For, Mordecai the Jew, was next unto King Ahasuerus, and became great among the Jews, and accepted by the multitude of his brethren, seeking happiness for his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
