Esther 3:2-4

2AllH3605 the king’sH4428 servantsH5650 whoH834 were at the king’sH4428 gateH8179 bowedH3766 downH3766 1and paidH7812 homageH7812 to HamanH2001; for soH3651 the kingH4428 had commandedH6680 concerning him. But 2MordecaiH4782 neitherH3808 bowedH3766 downH3766 norH3808 paidH7812 homageH7812.

3Then the king’sH4428 servantsH5650 whoH834 were at 3the king’sH4428 gateH8179 saidH559 to MordecaiH4782, “4WhyH4069 are you transgressingH5674 the king’sH4428 commandH4687?”

4Now it was when they had spokenH559 dailyH3117 to him and he would not listenH8085 to them, that they toldH5046 HamanH2001 to seeH7200 whether Mordecai’sH4782 reasonH1697 would standH5975; for he had toldH5046 them that he was a JewH3064.
