Esther 1:5-8
5And when these daysH3117 were expired, the kingH4428 madeH6213 a feastH4960 to all the peopleH5971 that were present in Shushan the fortress, both to greatH1419 and smallH6996, sevenH7651 daysH3117, in the courtH2691 of the gardenH1594 of the king's palaceH1055.
6WhiteH2353, green, and blueH8504 [hangings] were fastened with cordsH2256 of byssus and purpleH713 to silverH3701 rings and pillarsH5982 of whiteH2353 marble; couchesH4296 of goldH2091 and silverH3701 [lay] upon a pavementH7531 of red and whiteH2353 marble, and alabaster, and black marble.
7And they gaveH8248 drinkH8248 in vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 (the vesselsH3627 being diverse one from another), and royal wineH3196 in abundance, according to the king's bounty.
8And the drinking was, according to commandment, without constraint; for so the kingH4428 had appointedH3245 to all the magnates of his houseH1004, that they should do according to every man's pleasureH7522.
