Esther 第 3 章 - King James Strong Number Version

1

After <H0310> these things <H1697> did king <H4428> Ahasuerus <H0325> promote <H1431> Haman <H2001> the son <H1121> of Hammedatha <H4099> the Agagite, <H0091> and advanced <H5375> him, and set <H7760> his seat <H3678> above all the princes <H8269> that [were] with him.

2

And all the king's <H4428> servants, <H5650> that [were] in the king's <H4428> gate, <H8179> bowed, <H3766> and reverenced <H7812> Haman: <H2001> for the king <H4428> had so commanded <H6680> concerning him. But Mordecai <H4782> bowed <H3766> not, nor did [him] reverence. <H7812>

3

Then the king's <H4428> servants, <H5650> which [were] in the king's <H4428> gate, <H8179> said <H0559> unto Mordecai, <H4782> Why transgressest <H5674> thou the king's <H4428> commandment? <H4687>

4

Now it came to pass, when they spake <H0559> daily <H3117> <H3117> unto him, and he hearkened <H8085> not unto them, that they told <H5046> Haman, <H2001> to see <H7200> whether Mordecai's <H4782> matters <H1697> would stand: <H5975> for he had told <H5046> them that he [was] a Jew. <H3064>

5

And when Haman <H2001> saw <H7200> that Mordecai <H4782> bowed <H3766> not, nor did him reverence, <H7812> then was Haman <H2001> full <H4390> of wrath. <H2534>

6

And he thought <H5869> scorn <H0959> to lay <H7971> hands <H3027> on Mordecai <H4782> alone; for they had shewed <H5046> him the people <H5971> of Mordecai: <H4782> wherefore Haman <H2001> sought <H1245> to destroy <H8045> all the Jews <H3064> that [were] throughout the whole kingdom <H4438> of Ahasuerus, <H0325> [even] the people <H5971> of Mordecai. <H4782>

7

In the first <H7223> month, <H2320> that [is], the month <H2320> Nisan, <H5212> in the twelfth <H8147> <H6240> year <H8141> of king <H4428> Ahasuerus, <H0325> they cast <H5307> Pur, <H6332> that [is], the lot, <H1486> before <H6440> Haman <H2001> from day <H3117> to day, <H3117> and from month <H2320> to month, <H2320> [to] the twelfth <H8147> <H6240> [month], that [is], the month <H2320> Adar. <H0143>

8

And Haman <H2001> said <H0559> unto king <H4428> Ahasuerus, <H0325> There is <H3426> a certain <H0259> people <H5971> scattered abroad <H6340> and dispersed <H6504> among the people <H5971> in all the provinces <H4082> of thy kingdom; <H4438> and their laws <H1881> [are] diverse <H8138> from all people; <H5971> neither keep <H6213> they the king's <H4428> laws: <H1881> therefore it [is] not for the king's <H4428> profit <H7737> to suffer <H3240> them.

9

If it please <H2895> the king, <H4428> let it be written <H3789> that they may be destroyed: <H0006> and I will pay <H8254> ten <H6235> thousand <H0505> talents <H3603> of silver <H3701> to the hands <H3027> of those that have the charge <H6213> of the business, <H4399> to bring <H0935> [it] into the king's <H4428> treasuries. <H1595>

10

And the king <H4428> took <H5493> his ring <H2885> from his hand, <H3027> and gave <H5414> it unto Haman <H2001> the son <H1121> of Hammedatha <H4099> the Agagite, <H0091> the Jews' <H3064> enemy. <H6887>

11

And the king <H4428> said <H0559> unto Haman, <H2001> The silver <H3701> [is] given <H5414> to thee, the people <H5971> also, to do <H6213> with them as it seemeth <H5869> good <H2896> to thee.

12

Then were the king's <H4428> scribes <H5608> called <H7121> on the thirteenth <H7969> <H6240> day <H3117> of the first <H7223> month, <H2320> and there was written <H3789> according to all that Haman <H2001> had commanded <H6680> unto the king's <H4428> lieutenants, <H0323> and to the governors <H6346> that [were] over every province, <H4082> <H4082> and to the rulers <H8269> of every people <H5971> <H5971> of every province <H4082> <H4082> according to the writing <H3791> thereof, and [to] every people <H5971> <H5971> after their language; <H3956> in the name <H8034> of king <H4428> Ahasuerus <H0325> was it written, <H3789> and sealed <H2856> with the king's <H4428> ring. <H2885>

13

And the letters <H5612> were sent <H7971> by <H3027> posts <H7323> into all the king's <H4428> provinces, <H4082> to destroy, <H8045> to kill, <H2026> and to cause to perish, <H0006> all Jews, <H3064> both young <H5288> and old, <H2205> little children <H2945> and women, <H0802> in one <H0259> day, <H3117> [even] upon the thirteenth <H7969> <H6240> [day] of the twelfth <H8147> <H6240> month, <H2320> which is the month <H2320> Adar, <H0143> and [to take] the spoil <H7998> of them for a prey. <H0962>

14

The copy <H6572> of the writing <H3791> for a commandment <H1881> to be given <H5414> in every province <H4082> <H4082> was published <H1540> unto all people, <H5971> that they should be ready <H6264> against that day. <H3117>

15

The posts <H7323> went out, <H3318> being hastened <H1765> by the king's <H4428> commandment, <H1697> and the decree <H1881> was given <H5414> in Shushan <H7800> the palace. <H1002> And the king <H4428> and Haman <H2001> sat down <H3427> to drink; <H8354> but the city <H5892> Shushan <H7800> was perplexed. <H0943>
