Esther 3:4-6

4

DayH3117 after dayH3117 they warnedH559 himH413, but he would notH3808 complyH8085H413. So they reported itH5046 to HamanH2001 to seeH7200 whether Mordecai’sH4782 behaviorH1697 would be toleratedH5975, sinceH3588 he had toldH5046 themH834 heH1931 was a JewH3064.

5When HamanH2001 sawH7200 thatH3588 MordecaiH4782 would notH369 bow downH3766 or pay him homageH7812, heH2001 was filledH4390 with rageH2534. 6And whenH3588 he learned the identityH5046 of Mordecai’sH4782 peopleH5971, he scorned the notion ofH959H58691 layingH7971 handsH3027 on MordecaiH4782 aloneH905. Instead, heH2001 soughtH1245 to destroyH8045 allH3605 of Mordecai’sH4782 peopleH5971, the JewsH3064, throughoutH3605 the kingdomH4438 of XerxesH325.
