Esther 3:2-5
2And all the king’sH4428 servantsH5650, that were in the king’sH4428 gateH8179, bowedH3766, and reverencedH7812 HamanH2001: for the kingH4428 had so commandedH6680 concerning him. But MordecaiH4782 bowedH3766 not, nor did him reverenceH7812.
3Then the king’sH4428 servantsH5650, which were in the king’sH4428 gateH8179, saidH559 unto MordecaiH4782, Why transgressestH5674 thou the king’sH4428 commandmentH4687?
4Now it came to pass, when they spakeH559 dailyH3117 unto him, and he hearkenedH8085 not unto them, that they toldH5046 HamanH2001, to seeH7200 whether Mordecai’sH4782 mattersH1697 would standH5975: for he had toldH5046 them that he was a JewH3064.
5And when HamanH2001 sawH7200 that MordecaiH4782 bowedH3766 not, nor did him reverenceH7812, then was HamanH2001 fullH4390 of wrathH2534.
