If°
[it seem] good°°
unto°
the king,°
let the king°
and

אֶסתֵּר°
at the banquet°
of wine,°

אֶסתֵּר,°
and said,°°
My petition°
and my request°
[is]; |
|
5:7
Then answered Ester, and said, My petition and my request [is]; |
5:8
If°
I have found°°
favour°
in the sight°
of the king,°
and if°
it please°°°
the king°
to grant°°°
my petition,°
and to perform°°°
my request,°
let the king°
and
Hämän
הָמָן°

Then went°°
Hämän
הָמָן°
forth°°°
that°
day°
joyful°
and with a glad°
heart:°
but when
Hämän
הָמָן°
saw°°°
Mordóȼay
מָרדֳּכַי°
in the king's°
gate,°
that he stood not up,°°°
nor°
moved°°
for°
him,°
he°
was full°°
of indignation°
against°
Mordóȼay
מָרדֳּכַי.° |
|
5:9 ¶

5:10
Nevertheless
Hämän
הָמָן°
refrained°°
himself:°
and when he came°°°
home,°
he sent°°
and called°°
for°
his friends,°°
and
Zereš
זֶרֶשׁ°
his wife.° |
|
5:10
Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife. |
5:11
And
Hämän
הָמָן°
told°°
them of°
the glory°
of his riches,°
and the multitude°
of his children,°
and all°

said°°
moreover,°
Yea,
´Estër
אֶסתֵּר°
the queen°
did let no°
man come in°°
with°

5:13
Yet all°
this°
availeth°°
me nothing,°
so long°°
as°
I°
see°°°
Mordóȼay
מָרדֳּכַי°
the
Yæhûđî
יְהוּדִי°
sitting°°
at the king's°
gate.° |
|
5:13
Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordokhay the Yehudi sitting at the king's gate. |
5:14 ¶
Then said°°
Zereš
זֶרֶשׁ°
his wife°
