But Mordecai{H4782} bowed{H3766}{(H8799)} not, nor did him reverence{H7812}{(H8691)}. 3 Then the king's{H4428} servants{H5650}, which were in the king's{H4428} gate{H8179}, said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Mordecai{H4782}, Why transgressest{H5674}{(H8802)} thou the king's{H4428} commandment{H4687}? 4 Now it came to pass, when they spake{H559}{(H8800)} daily{H3117}{H3117} unto him, and he hearkened{H8085}{(H8804)} not unto them, that they told{H5046}{(H8686)} Haman{H2001}, to see{H7200}{(H8800)} whether Mordecai's{H4782} matters{H1697} would stand{H5975}{(H8799)}: for he had told{H5046}{(H8689)} them that he was a Jew{H3064}. 5 And when Haman{H2001} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} that Mordecai{H4782} bowed{H3766}{(H8802)} not, nor did him reverence{H7812}{(H8693)}, then was Haman{H2001} full{H4390}{(H8735)} of wrath{H2534}. 6 And he thought{H5869} scorn{H959}{(H8799)} to lay{H7971}{(H8800)} hands{H3027} on Mordecai{H4782} alone; for they had shewed{H5046}{(H8689)} him the people{H5971} of Mordecai{H4782}: wherefore Haman{H2001} sought{H1245}{(H8762)} to destroy{H8045}{(H8687)} all the Jews{H3064} that were throughout the whole kingdom{H4438} of Ahasuerus{H325}, even the people{H5971} of Mordecai{H4782}. 7 In the first{H7223} month{H2320}, that is, the month{H2320} Nisan{H5212}, in the twelfth{H8147}{H6240} year{H8141} of king{H4428} Ahasuerus{H325}, they cast{H5307}{(H8689)} Pur{H6332}, that is, the lot{H1486}, before{H6440} Haman{H2001} from day{H3117} to day{H3117}, and from month{H2320} to month{H2320}, to the twelfth{H8147}{H6240} month, that is, the month{H2320} Adar{H143}. 8 And Haman{H2001} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto king{H4428} Ahasuerus{H325}, There is{H3426} a certain{H259} people{H5971} scattered abroad{H6340}{(H8794)} and dispersed{H6504}{(H8794)} among the people{H5971} in all the provinces{H4082} of thy kingdom{H4438}; and their laws{H1881} are diverse{H8138}{(H8802)} from all people{H5971}; neither keep{H6213}{(H8802)} they the king's{H4428} laws{H1881}: therefore it is not for the king's{H4428} profit{H7737}{(H8802)} to suffer{H3240}{(H8687)} them. 9 If it please{H2895}{(H8804)} the king{H4428}, let it be written{H3789}{(H8735)} that they may be destroyed{H6}{(H8763)}: and I will pay{H8254}{(H8799)} ten{H6235} thousand{H505} talents{H3603} of silver{H3701} to the hands{H3027} of those that have the charge{H6213}{(H8802)} of the business{H4399}, to bring{H935}{(H8687)} it into the king's{H4428} treasuries{H1595}. 10 And the king{H4428} took{H5493}{(H8686)} his ring{H2885} from his hand{H3027}, and gave{H5414}{(H8799)} it unto Haman{H2001} the son{H1121} of Hammedatha{H4099} the Agagite{H91}, the Jews{H3064}' enemy{H6887}{(H8802)}. 11 And the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Haman{H2001}, The silver{H3701} is given{H5414}{(H8803)} to thee, the people{H5971} also, to do{H6213}{(H8800)} with them as it seemeth{H5869} good{H2896} to thee. 12 Then were the king's{H4428} scribes{H5608}{(H8802)} called{H7121}{(H8735)} on the thirteenth{H7969}{H6240} day{H3117} of the first{H7223} month{H2320}, and there was written{H3789}{(H8735)} according to all that Haman{H2001} had commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} unto the king's{H4428} lieutenants{H323}, and to the governors{H6346} that were over every province{H4082}, and to the rulers{H8269} of every people{H5971} of every province{H4082} according to the writing{H3791} thereof, and to every people{H5971} after their language{H3956}; in the name{H8034} of king{H4428} Ahasuerus{H325} was it written{H3789}{(H8737)}, and sealed{H2856}{(H8738)} with the king's{H4428} ring{H2885}. 13 And the letters{H5612} were sent{H7971}{(H8736)} by{H3027} posts{H7323}{(H8801)} into all the king's{H4428} provinces{H4082}, to destroy{H8045}{(H8687)}, to kill{H2026}{(H8800)}, and to cause to perish{H6}{(H8763)}, all Jews{H3064}, both young{H5288} and old{H2205}, little children{H2945} and women{H802}, in one{H259} day{H3117}, even upon the thirteenth{H7969}{H6240} day of the twelfth{H8147}{H6240} month{H2320}, which is the month{H2320} Adar{H143}, and to take the spoil{H7998} of them for a prey{H962}{(H8800)}. 14 The copy{H6572} of the writing{H3791} for a commandment{H1881} to be given{H5414}{(H8736)} in every province{H4082} was published{H1540}{(H8803)} unto all people{H5971}, that they should be ready{H6264} against that day{H3117}. 15 The posts{H7323}{(H8801)} went out{H3318}{(H8804)}, being hastened{H1765}{(H8803)} by the king's{H4428} commandment{H1697}, and the decree{H1881} was given{H5414}{(H8738)} in Shushan{H7800} the palace{H1002}.
