and seven and twenty
provinces—
that in those days, when
the king AHASHVEROSH
sat on the throne of his

[The king demanded that]
Vashti the queen come
before the king in her royal
crown, to show the
peoples and the princes
her beauty; for she was
beautiful to look at. But the
queen Vashti refused to
come at the king's order
by the chamberlains.
Therefore the king was
enraged! His anger
burned in him!

CHAPTER 2
After these things, when
the anger of King
Achashverosh was
tempered, he remembered
Vashti, and what she had
done, and what was
decreed against her.
Then, the king's servants
that ministered to him said
to him: 'Let young women,
fair to look at, be
assembled for the king;

and let the king appoint
officers in all the provinces
of his kingdom, that they
may gather together all the
fair young virgins to
Shushan the fortress city, to
the house of the women, to
the custody of Hegai the
king's chamberlain, guardian
of the women; and let their
ointments be given them;
and let the maiden that
pleases the king be queen
instead of Vashti.' And this
idea pleased the king; and
he did so.

There was a certain Jew in
Shushan the fortress city,
whose name was
MORDECHAI the son of
Yair the son of Shim’i the
son of Kish, a Benjamite,
who had been carried away
from Jerusalem with the
captives that had been
carried away with
Yechoniah king of Judah,
whom Nebuchadnezzar the
king of Babylon had exiled.

And he brought up
Hadassah, that is,
ESTHER, his uncle's
daughter; for she had
neither father nor mother.
The young woman was
shapely and beautiful.
After her father and
mother died, Mordecai
took her for his own
daughter.

Esther was taken to the palace
together with all the other
young women.
The king loved Esther
above all the women, and
she obtained grace and
favor in his sight more
than all the virgins; he set
the royal crown upon her
head, and made her
queen instead of Vashti.
Then the king made a great
feast for all his princes and his
servants: it was Esther’s feast!
He made a release to the
provinces, and gave gifts,
according to the bounty of the
king.

19 And when the virgins
were gathered together
the second time,
Mordecai sat in the king's
gate.
20. Esther did not reveal
her family or her people,
as Mordecai had
instructed her; for Esther
did what Mordecai told
her to do, just as she did
she was brought up by
him.

CHAPTER 3
After these things, King
Achashverosh promoted
Haman the son of Hamdata
the Agagite, and advanced
him, and set his seat above
all the princes that were with
him. All the king's servants
that were in the king's gate
bowed down and prostrated
themselves before Haman,
as the king had instructed.
But Mordecai didn’t bow
down and didn’t prostrate.

The king's servants in the
king's gate, said unto
Mordecai: 'Why do you
transgress the king's
commandment?‘
When they spoke daily
unto him, he didn’t listen
them. They told Haman
to see whether
Mordecai's words would
stand; for he had told
them that he was a Jew.

And when Haman saw
that Mordecai bowed not
down, nor prostrated
himself before him,
Haman was full of anger!
But he disparaged the
idea of laying hands on
Mordecai alone; for they
had told him about
Mordecai’s nation. Haman
sought to destroy all the
Jews in the entire kingdom
of Achashverosh, the
people of Mordecai.

In the first month, which is
the month of Nisan, in the
twelfth year of king
Achashverosh, they cast
lots before Haman
concerning every day and
every month, until it fell on
the twelfth month, which is
the month of Adar.

And Haman said to king Achashverosh: 'There is a
certain people scattered abroad and dispersed
among the peoples in all the provinces of our
kingdom. Their laws are different from those of every
people, and they do not observe the king's laws. It is
not in the King’s interest to tolerate them.

Now when Mordecai knew
all that was done,
Mordecai tore his clothes,
and put on sackcloth with
ashes, and went out into
the midst of the city, and
cried with a loud and a
bitter cry; and he came in
front of the king's gate; for
no one was allowed to
enter the king's gate
wearing sackcloth.

palace, facing the king's
palace; and the king sat upon
his royal throne in the throne
room facing the entrance of
the palace. When the king saw
Esther the queen standing in
the court, she won his favor.
The king held out to Esther the

hand. Esther drew near, and
