Esther 第 9 章 - King James Strong Number Version

1

Now in the twelfth <H8147> <H6240> month, <H2320> that [is], the month <H2320> Adar, <H0143> on the thirteenth <H7969> <H6240> day <H3117> of the same, when the king's <H4428> commandment <H1697> and his decree <H1881> drew near <H5060> to be put in execution, <H6213> in the day <H3117> that the enemies <H0341> of the Jews <H3064> hoped <H7663> to have power <H7980> over them, (though it was turned <H2015> to the contrary, that the Jews <H3064> had rule <H7980> over them that hated <H8130> them;)

2

The Jews <H3064> gathered themselves together <H6950> in their cities <H5892> throughout all the provinces <H4082> of the king <H4428> Ahasuerus, <H0325> to lay <H7971> hand <H3027> on such as sought <H1245> their hurt: <H7451> and no man <H0376> could withstand <H5975> <H6440> them; for the fear <H6343> of them fell <H5307> upon all people. <H5971>

3

And all the rulers <H8269> of the provinces, <H4082> and the lieutenants, <H0323> and the deputies, <H6346> and officers <H6213> <H4399> of the king, <H4428> helped <H5375> the Jews; <H3064> because the fear <H6343> of Mordecai <H4782> fell <H5307> upon them.

4

For Mordecai <H4782> [was] great <H1419> in the king's <H4428> house, <H1004> and his fame <H8089> went out <H1980> throughout all the provinces: <H4082> for this man <H0376> Mordecai <H4782> waxed greater <H1980> and greater. <H1419>

5

Thus the Jews <H3064> smote <H5221> all their enemies <H0341> with the stroke <H4347> of the sword, <H2719> and slaughter, <H2027> and destruction, <H0012> 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 <H0006> five <H2568> hundred <H3967> men. <H0376>

7

And Parshandatha, <H6577> and Dalphon, <H1813> and Aspatha, <H0630>

8

And Poratha, <H6334> and Adalia, <H0118> and Aridatha, <H0743>

9

And Parmashta, <H6534> and Arisai, <H0747> and Aridai, <H0742> 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 <H0961> laid <H7971> they not their hand. <H3027>

11

On that day <H3117> the number <H4557> of those that were slain <H2026> in Shushan <H7800> the palace <H1002> was brought <H0935> before <H6440> the king. <H4428>

12

And the king <H4428> said <H0559> unto Esther <H0635> the queen, <H4436> The Jews <H3064> have slain <H2026> and destroyed <H0006> five <H2568> hundred <H3967> men <H0376> in Shushan <H7800> the palace, <H1002> and the ten <H6235> sons <H1121> of Haman; <H2001> what have they done <H6213> in the rest <H7605> of the king's <H4428> provinces? <H4082> now what [is] thy petition? <H7596> and it shall be granted <H5414> thee: or what [is] thy request <H1246> further? <H5750> and it shall be done. <H6213>

13

Then said <H0559> Esther, <H0635> If it please <H2896> the king, <H4428> let it be granted <H5414> to the Jews <H3064> which [are] in Shushan <H7800> to do <H6213> to morrow <H4279> also according unto this day's <H3117> decree, <H1881> and let Haman's <H2001> ten <H6235> sons <H1121> be hanged <H8518> upon the gallows. <H6086>

14

And the king <H4428> commanded <H0559> it so to be done: <H6213> and the decree <H1881> was given <H5414> at Shushan; <H7800> and they hanged <H8518> Haman's <H2001> ten <H6235> sons. <H1121>

15

For the Jews <H3064> that [were] in Shushan <H7800> gathered themselves together <H6950> on the fourteenth <H0702> <H6240> day <H3117> also of the month <H2320> Adar, <H0143> and slew <H2026> three <H7969> hundred <H3967> men <H0376> at Shushan; <H7800> but on the prey <H0961> they laid <H7971> not their hand. <H3027>

16

But the other <H7605> Jews <H3064> that [were] in the king's <H4428> provinces <H4082> gathered themselves together, <H6950> and stood <H5975> for their lives, <H5315> and had rest <H5118> from their enemies, <H0341> and slew <H2026> of their foes <H8130> seventy <H7657> and five <H2568> thousand, <H0505> but they laid <H7971> not their hands <H3027> on the prey, <H0961>

17

On the thirteenth <H7969> <H6240> day <H3117> of the month <H2320> Adar; <H0143> and on the fourteenth <H0702> <H6240> day of the same rested <H5118> they, and made <H6213> it a day <H3117> of feasting <H4960> and gladness. <H8057>

18

But the Jews <H3064> that [were] at Shushan <H7800> assembled together <H6950> on the thirteenth <H7969> <H6240> [day] thereof, and on the fourteenth <H0702> <H6240> thereof; and on the fifteenth <H2568> <H6240> [day] of the same they rested, <H5118> and made <H6213> it a day <H3117> of feasting <H4960> and gladness. <H8057>

19

Therefore the Jews <H3064> of the villages, <H6521> that dwelt <H3427> in the unwalled <H6519> towns, <H5892> made <H6213> the fourteenth <H0702> <H6240> day <H3117> of the month <H2320> Adar <H0143> [a day of] gladness <H8057> and feasting, <H4960> and a good <H2896> day, <H3117> and of sending <H4916> portions <H4490> one <H0376> to another. <H7453>

20

And Mordecai <H4782> wrote <H3789> these things, <H1697> and sent <H7971> letters <H5612> unto all the Jews <H3064> that [were] in all the provinces <H4082> of the king <H4428> Ahasuerus, <H0325> [both] nigh <H7138> and far, <H7350>

21

To stablish <H6965> [this] among them, that they should keep <H6213> the fourteenth <H0702> <H6240> day <H3117> of the month <H2320> Adar, <H0143> and the fifteenth <H2568> <H6240> day <H3117> of the same, yearly, <H8141> <H8141>

22

As the days <H3117> wherein the Jews <H3064> rested <H5117> from their enemies, <H0341> and the month <H2320> which was turned <H2015> unto them from sorrow <H3015> to joy, <H8057> and from mourning <H0060> into a good <H2896> day: <H3117> that they should make <H6213> them days <H3117> of feasting <H4960> and joy, <H8057> and of sending <H4916> portions <H4490> one <H0376> to another, <H7453> and gifts <H4979> to the poor. <H0034>

23

And the Jews <H3064> undertook <H6901> to do <H6213> as they had begun, <H2490> and as Mordecai <H4782> had written <H3789> unto them;

24

Because Haman <H2001> the son <H1121> of Hammedatha, <H4099> the Agagite, <H0091> the enemy <H6887> of all the Jews, <H3064> had devised <H2803> against the Jews <H3064> to destroy <H0006> them, and had cast <H5307> Pur, <H6332> that [is], the lot, <H1486> to consume <H2000> them, and to destroy <H0006> them;

25

But when [Esther] came <H0935> before <H6440> the king, <H4428> he commanded <H0559> by letters <H5612> that his wicked <H7451> device, <H4284> which he devised <H2803> against the Jews, <H3064> should return <H7725> upon his own head, <H7218> and that he and his sons <H1121> should be hanged <H8518> on the gallows. <H6086>

26

Wherefore they called <H7121> these days <H3117> Purim <H6332> after the name <H8034> of Pur. <H6332> Therefore for all the words <H1697> of this letter, <H0107> and [of that] which they had seen <H7200> concerning this matter, <H3602> and which had come <H5060> unto them,

27

The Jews <H3064> ordained, <H6965> and took <H6901> upon them, and upon their seed, <H2233> and upon all such as joined <H3867> themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, <H5674> that they would keep <H6213> these two <H8147> days <H3117> according to their writing, <H3791> and according to their [appointed] time <H2165> every year; <H8141> <H8141>

28

And [that] these days <H3117> [should be] remembered <H2142> and kept <H6213> throughout every <H1755> generation, <H1755> every family, <H4940> <H4940> every province, <H4082> <H4082> and every city; <H5892> <H5892> and [that] these days <H3117> of Purim <H6332> should not fail <H5674> from among <H8432> the Jews, <H3064> nor the memorial <H2143> of them perish <H5486> from their seed. <H2233>

29

Then Esther <H0635> the queen, <H4436> the daughter <H1323> of Abihail, <H0032> and Mordecai <H4782> the Jew, <H3064> wrote <H3789> with all authority, <H8633> to confirm <H6965> this second <H8145> letter <H0107> of Purim. <H6332>

30

And he sent <H7971> the letters <H5612> unto all the Jews, <H3064> to the hundred <H3967> twenty <H6242> and seven <H7651> provinces <H4082> of the kingdom <H4438> of Ahasuerus, <H0325> [with] words <H1697> of peace <H7965> and truth, <H0571>

31

To confirm <H6965> these days <H3117> of Purim <H6332> in their times <H2165> [appointed], according as Mordecai <H4782> the Jew <H3064> and Esther <H0635> the queen <H4436> had enjoined <H6965> them, and as they had decreed <H6965> for themselves <H5315> and for their seed, <H2233> the matters <H1697> of the fastings <H6685> and their cry. <H2201>

32

And the decree <H3982> of Esther <H0635> confirmed <H6965> these matters <H1697> of Purim; <H6332> and it was written <H3789> in the book. <H5612>
