Esther 8:1-6

1That sameH1931 dayH3117 KingH4428 XerxesH325 awardedH5414 QueenH4436 EstherH635 the estateH1004 of HamanH2001, the enemyH6887 of the JewsH3064. And MordecaiH4782 enteredH935 the king’sH4428 presenceH6440 becauseH3588 EstherH635H4100 had revealedH5046 his relationH1931 to her. 2The kingH4428 removedH5493 the signet ringH2885 he had recoveredH5674 from HamanH2001 and presented itH5414 to MordecaiH4782. And EstherH635 appointedH7760 MordecaiH4782 overH5921 the estateH1004 of HamanH2001.

3And once againH3254, EstherH635 addressedH1696 the kingH4428. She fellH5307H6440 atH6440 his feetH7272 weepingH1058 and beggedH2603 him to revokeH5674 the evilH7451 schemeH4284 of HamanH2001 the AgagiteH91, whichH834 he had devisedH2803 againstH5921 the JewsH3064.

4The kingH4428 extendedH3447 the goldH2091 scepterH8275 toward EstherH635, andH635 she aroseH6965 and stoodH5975 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.

5“IfH518 it pleasesH5921H2896H518 the kingH4428,” she saidH559, “and if I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in his sightH6440, and the matterH1697 seems properH3787 toH6440 the kingH4428, and IH589 am pleasingH2896 in his sightH5869, may an order be writtenH3789 to revokeH7725 the lettersH5612 that the schemingH4284 HamanH2001 sonH1121 of HammedathaH4099, the AgagiteH91, wroteH3789 to destroyH6 the JewsH3064 in allH3605 the king’sH4428 provincesH4082. 6ForH3588 howH349 could I bearH3201 to seeH7200 the disasterH7451 thatH834 would befallH4672 my peopleH5971? HowH349 could I bearH3201 to seeH7200 the destructionH13 of my kindredH4138?”
