| 9:1 | Now in the twelfth <08147> <06240> month <02320>, that [is], the month <02320> Adar <0143>, on the thirteenth <07969> <06240> day <03117> of the same, when the king's <04428> commandment <01697> and his decree <01881> drew near <05060> (8689) to be put in execution <06213> (8736), in the day <03117> that the enemies <0341> (8802) of the Jews <03064> hoped <07663> (8765) to have power <07980> (8800) over them, (though it was turned <02015> (8736) to the contrary, that the Jews <03064> had rule <07980> (8799) over them that hated <08130> (8802) them;) |
| 9:2 | The Jews <03064> gathered themselves together <06950> (8738) in their cities <05892> throughout all the provinces <04082> of the king <04428> Ahasuerus <0325>, to lay <07971> (8800) hand <03027> on such as sought <01245> (8764) their hurt <07451>: and no man <0376> could withstand <05975> (8804) them <06440>; for the fear <06343> of them fell <05307> (8804) upon all people <05971>. |
| 9:3 | And all the rulers <08269> of the provinces <04082>, and the lieutenants <0323>, and the deputies <06346>, and officers <06213> (8802) <04399> of the king <04428>, helped <05375> (8764) the Jews <03064>; because the fear <06343> of Mordecai <04782> fell <05307> (8804) upon them. {officers...: Heb. those which did the business that belonged to the king} |
| 9:4 | For Mordecai <04782> [was] great <01419> in the king's <04428> house <01004>, and his fame <08089> went out <01980> (8802) throughout all the provinces <04082>: for this man <0376> Mordecai <04782> waxed <01980> (8802) greater and greater <01419>. |
| 9:5 | Thus the Jews <03064> smote <05221> (8686) all their enemies <0341> (8802) with the stroke <04347> of the sword <02719>, and slaughter <02027>, and destruction <012>, and did <06213> (8799) what they would <07522> unto those that hated <08130> (8802) them. {what...: Heb. according to their will} |
| 9:6 | And in Shushan <07800> the palace <01002> the Jews <03064> slew <02026> (8804) and destroyed <06> (8763) five <02568> hundred <03967> men <0376>. |
| 9:7 | And Parshandatha <06577>, and Dalphon <01813>, and Aspatha <0630>, |
| 9:8 | And Poratha <06334>, and Adalia <0118>, and Aridatha <0743>, |
| 9:9 | And Parmashta <06534>, and Arisai <0747>, and Aridai <0742>, and Vajezatha <02055>, |
| 9:10 | The ten <06235> sons <01121> of Haman <02001> the son <01121> of Hammedatha <04099>, the enemy <06887> (8802) of the Jews <03064>, slew <02026> (8804) they; but on the spoil <0961> laid <07971> (8804) they not their hand <03027>. |
| 9:11 | On that day <03117> the number <04557> of those that were slain <02026> (8803) in Shushan <07800> the palace <01002> was brought <0935> (8804) before <06440> the king <04428>. {was...: Heb. came} |
| 9:12 | And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) unto Esther <0635> the queen <04436>, The Jews <03064> have slain <02026> (8804) and destroyed <06> (8763) five <02568> hundred <03967> men <0376> in Shushan <07800> the palace <01002>, and the ten <06235> sons <01121> of Haman <02001>; what have they done <06213> (8804) in the rest <07605> of the king's <04428> provinces <04082>? now what [is] thy petition <07596>? and it shall be granted <05414> (8735) thee: or what [is] thy request <01246> further <05750>? and it shall be done <06213> (8735). |
| 9:13 | Then said <0559> (8799) Esther <0635>, If it please <02896> the king <04428>, let it be granted <05414> (8735) to the Jews <03064> which [are] in Shushan <07800> to do <06213> (8800) to morrow <04279> also according unto this day's <03117> decree <01881>, and let Haman's <02001> ten <06235> sons <01121> be hanged <08518> (8799) upon the gallows <06086>. {let Haman's...: Heb. let men hang, etc} |
| 9:14 | And the king <04428> commanded <0559> (8799) it so to be done <06213> (8736): and the decree <01881> was given <05414> (8735) at Shushan <07800>; and they hanged <08518> (8804) Haman's <02001> ten <06235> sons <01121>. |
| 9:15 | For the Jews <03064> that [were] in Shushan <07800> gathered themselves together <06950> (8735) on the fourteenth <0702> <06240> day <03117> also of the month <02320> Adar <0143>, and slew <02026> (8799) three <07969> hundred <03967> men <0376> at Shushan <07800>; but on the prey <0961> they laid <07971> (8804) not their hand <03027>. |
| 9:16 | But the other <07605> Jews <03064> that [were] in the king's <04428> provinces <04082> gathered themselves together <06950> (8738), and stood <05975> (8800) for their lives <05315>, and had rest <05118> from their enemies <0341> (8802), and slew <02026> (8800) of their foes <08130> (8802) seventy <07657> and five <02568> thousand <0505>, but they laid <07971> (8804) not their hands <03027> on the prey <0961>, |
| 9:17 | On the thirteenth <07969> <06240> day <03117> of the month <02320> Adar <0143>; and on the fourteenth <0702> <06240> day of the same rested <05118> they, and made <06213> (8800) it a day <03117> of feasting <04960> and gladness <08057>. {of the same: Heb. in it} |
| 9:18 | But the Jews <03064> that [were] at Shushan <07800> assembled together <06950> (8738) on the thirteenth <07969> <06240> [day] thereof, and on the fourteenth <0702> <06240> thereof; and on the fifteenth <02568> <06240> [day] of the same they rested <05118>, and made <06213> (8800) it a day <03117> of feasting <04960> and gladness <08057>. |
| 9:19 | Therefore the Jews <03064> of the villages <06521>, that dwelt <03427> (8802) in the unwalled <06519> towns <05892>, made <06213> (8802) the fourteenth <0702> <06240> day <03117> of the month <02320> Adar <0143> [a day of] gladness <08057> and feasting <04960>, and a good <02896> day <03117>, and of sending <04916> portions <04490> one <0376> to another <07453>. |
| 9:20 | And Mordecai <04782> wrote <03789> (8799) these things <01697>, and sent <07971> (8799) letters <05612> unto all the Jews <03064> that [were] in all the provinces <04082> of the king <04428> Ahasuerus <0325>, [both] nigh <07138> and far <07350>, |
| 9:21 | To stablish <06965> (8763) [this] among them, that they should keep <06213> (8802) the fourteenth <0702> <06240> day <03117> of the month <02320> Adar <0143>, and the fifteenth <02568> <06240> day <03117> of the same, yearly <08141> <08141>, |
| 9:22 | As the days <03117> wherein the Jews <03064> rested <05117> (8804) from their enemies <0341> (8802), and the month <02320> which was turned <02015> (8738) unto them from sorrow <03015> to joy <08057>, and from mourning <060> into a good <02896> day <03117>: that they should make <06213> (8800) them days <03117> of feasting <04960> and joy <08057>, and of sending <04916> portions <04490> one <0376> to another <07453>, and gifts <04979> to the poor <034>. |
| 9:23 | And the Jews <03064> undertook <06901> (8765) to do <06213> (8800) as they had begun <02490> (8689), and as Mordecai <04782> had written <03789> (8804) unto them; |
| 9:24 | Because Haman <02001> the son <01121> of Hammedatha <04099>, the Agagite <091>, the enemy <06887> (8802) of all the Jews <03064>, had devised <02803> (8804) against the Jews <03064> to destroy <06> (8763) them, and had cast <05307> (8689) Pur <06332>, that [is], the lot <01486>, to consume <02000> (8800) them, and to destroy <06> (8763) them; {consume: Heb. crush} |
| 9:25 | But when [Esther] came <0935> (8800) before <06440> the king <04428>, he commanded <0559> (8804) by letters <05612> that his wicked <07451> device <04284>, which he devised <02803> (8804) against the Jews <03064>, should return <07725> (8799) upon his own head <07218>, and that he and his sons <01121> should be hanged <08518> (8804) on the gallows <06086>. {when...: Heb. when she came} |
| 9:26 | Wherefore they called <07121> (8804) these days <03117> Purim <06332> after the name <08034> of Pur <06332>. Therefore for all the words <01697> of this letter <0107>, and [of that] which they had seen <07200> (8804) concerning this matter <03602>, and which had come <05060> (8689) unto them, {Pur: that is, Lot} |
| 9:27 | The Jews <03064> ordained <06965> (8765), and took <06901> (8765) upon them, and upon their seed <02233>, and upon all such as joined <03867> (8737) themselves unto them, so as it should not fail <05674> (8799), that they would keep <06213> (8802) these two <08147> days <03117> according to their writing <03791>, and according to their [appointed] time <02165> every year <08141> <08141>; {fail: Heb. pass} |
| 9:28 | And [that] these days <03117> [should be] remembered <02142> (8737) and kept <06213> (8737) throughout <01755> every generation <01755>, every family <04940>, every province <04082>, and every city <05892>; and [that] these days <03117> of Purim <06332> should not fail <05674> (8799) from among <08432> the Jews <03064>, nor the memorial <02143> of them perish <05486> (8799) from their seed <02233>. {fail: Heb. pass} {perish: Heb. be ended} |
| 9:29 | Then Esther <0635> the queen <04436>, the daughter <01323> of Abihail <032>, and Mordecai <04782> the Jew <03064>, wrote <03789> (8799) with all authority <08633>, to confirm <06965> (8763) this second <08145> letter <0107> of Purim <06332>. {authority: Heb. strength} |
| 9:30 | And he sent <07971> (8799) the letters <05612> unto all the Jews <03064>, to the hundred <03967> twenty <06242> and seven <07651> provinces <04082> of the kingdom <04438> of Ahasuerus <0325>, [with] words <01697> of peace <07965> and truth <0571>, |
| 9:31 | To confirm <06965> (8763) these days <03117> of Purim <06332> in their times <02165> [appointed], according as Mordecai <04782> the Jew <03064> and Esther <0635> the queen <04436> had enjoined <06965> (8765) them, and as they had decreed <06965> (8765) for themselves <05315> and for their seed <02233>, the matters <01697> of the fastings <06685> and their cry <02201>. {themselves: Heb. their souls} |
| 9:32 | And the decree <03982> of Esther <0635> confirmed <06965> (8765) these matters <01697> of Purim <06332>; and it was written <03789> (8737) in the book <05612>. |
