Esther 3:2-5

2And allH3605 the king’sH4428 servantsH5650, that were in the king’sH4428 gateH8179, bowedH7812 downH7812, and didH834 reverence to HamanH2001: for the kingH4428 had soH3651 commandedH6680 concerning him. But MordecaiH4782 bowedH7812 notH3808 downH7812, norH3808 didH834 him reverence.

3Then the king’sH4428 servantsH5650, that were in the king’sH4428 gateH8179, saidH559 unto MordecaiH4782, WhyH4069 transgressest thou the king’sH4428 commandmentH4687?

4NowH1961 it cameH1961 to passH1961, when they spake dailyH3117 unto him, and he hearkened notH3808 unto them, that they toldH5046 HamanH2001, to seeH7200 whetherH7200 Mordecai’sH4782 mattersH1697 would standH5975: for he had toldH5046 them that he was a JewH3064.

5And when HamanH2001 sawH7200 that MordecaiH4782 bowedH7812 notH369 downH7812, norH369 didH7812 him reverence, then was HamanH2001 fullH4390 of wrathH2534.
