1 And it came to pass in the
days of Achashverosh the
same Achashverosh who
ruled from Hodu to Cush, one
hundred and twenty-seven
provinces.
2 In those days, when King
Achashverosh sat on his royal
throne, which was in Shushan
the capital,
3 In the third year of his reign,
he made a feast for all his
ministers and servants; the
army of Persia and Media, the
nobles and all the ministers of
the provinces in his service.

4 For many days, one hundred
and eighty days, he displayed
the glorious wealth of his
kingdom and the splendorous
beauty of his majesty.
5 And when these days came to
an end, the king made a seven-
day feast in the courtyard of the
king's palace garden, for all the
people in Shushan the capital,
nobleman and commoner alike.

5. 6 There were hangings of
white, green and blue, held
by cords of linen and purple
wool to silver rods and
marble pillars. There were
divans of gold and silver on a
floor of alabaster and marble
[arranged in patterns of] rows
and circles.
7 Drinks were served in
golden vessels, vessels of
assorted design, and the
royal wine was in abundance
as befitting the king

6. 8 The drinking was by the law,
without force, for so had the
king ordered all the stewards of
his household, to comply with
each man's wish.
9 Queen Vashti, too, made a
feast for the women in the
royal palace of King
Achashverosh.
10 On the seventh day, when
the king's heart was merry with
wine, he ordered Mehuman,
Bizzeta, Charvona, Bigta,
Avagta, Zeitar and Charkas,
the seven chamberlains who
attended King Achashverosh,

7. 11 to bring Queen Vashti
before the king wearing the
royal crown, to show her
beauty to the nations and
ministers, for she was indeed
beautiful.
12 But Queen Vashti refused
to appear by the king's order
brought by the chamberlains,
and the king grew furious and
his wrath seethed within him.

8. 13 So the king conferred with
the sages, those
knowledgeable of the
timesùfor this was the king's
custom, to [bring such
matters] before those who
were versed in every law and
statute.
14 Those closest to him were
Carshina, Sheitar, Admata,
Tarshish, Meress, Marsina
and Memuchan. These were
the seven ministers of Persia
and Media, who had access to
the king and ranked highest in
the kingdom.

9. 15 [He asked them:] "By law,
what should be done with
Queen Vashti for failing to
obey the order of King
Achashverosh, brought by the
chamberlains?"
16 Memuchan declared before
the king and the ministers: "It
is not against the King alone
that Queen Vashti has sinned,
but against all the ministers
and all the nations in all the
provinces of King
Achashverosh.

10. 17 For word of the queen's
deed will reach all the women
and it will belittle their
husbands in their eyes. For
they will say: 'King
Achashverosh commanded
that Queen Vashti be brought
before him, yet she did not
come!'
18 This very day, the
noblewomen of Persia and
Media who have heard of the
queen's deed will repeat it to
all the King's nobles and there
will be much disgrace and
anger.

11. 19 If it please the King, let a
royal edict be issued by him,
and let it be written into the
laws of Persia and Media and
let it not be revoked, that
Queen Vashti may never
again appear before King
Achashverosh, and let the
King confer her royal title
upon another woman who is
better than she.
20 And the King's decree
which he shall proclaim will
be heard throughout his
kingdom, for it is indeed
significant, and all the women
will respect their husbands,
nobleman and commoner."

12. 21 The idea pleased the king
and the ministers, and the
king did as Memuchan had
advised.
22 He sent letters to all the
king's provincesùto each
province in its script and to
each nation in its language
[saying] that every man shall
be master in his home and
that he speak the language
of his nation.

1 After these events, when
King Achashverosh's wrath
had abated, he remembered
Vashti and what she had done
and what had been decreed
upon her.
2 So the king's attendants
advised: "Let beautiful virgin
girls be sought for the King.

15. 3 And let the King appoint
officers in all the provinces
of his kingdom, and let
them gather every beautiful
virgin girl to Shushan the
capital, to the harem,
under the charge of Heigai,
chamberlain of the King,
custodian of the women,
and let their cosmetics be
provided.
4 Then let the girl who
finds favor in the King's
eyes become queen in
Vashti's stead." The plan
pleased the king and he
acted accordingly.

16. 5 There was a Jewish man
in Shushan the capital,
whose name was
Mordechai, son of Yair,
son of Shim'iy, son of
Kish, a Benjaminite,
6 who had been exiled from
Jerusalem with the exiles
that had been exiled along
with Jechoniah, King of
Judah, whom
Nebuchadnezzar, King of
Babylon, had sent into exile

17. 7 He had raised his cousin
Hadassah, also called
Esther, for she had neither
father nor mother. The girl
was shapely and beautiful,
and when her father and
mother died, Mordechai
adopted her as his daughter.
8 Now when the king's order
and edict became known,
and many girls were
gathered to Shushan the
capital under the charge of
Heigai, Esther was also
taken to the palace under the
charge of Heigai, custodian
of the women.

18. 9 The girl found favor in his
eyes and won his kindness,
so that he hurried to provide
her with her cosmetics and
meals, and the seven maids
that were to be given her from
the palace. He also
transferred her and her maids
to the best quarters in the
harem.
10 [All the while] Esther did
not divulge her race or
ancestry, for Mordechai had
instructed her not to tell.

would stroll in front of the
harem courtyard to find out
how Esther was faring and
what would be done with her.

Achashverosh, after

appear before the king), she
would be provided with
whatever she requested to
accompany her from the
harem to the palace.
14 In the evening she would
go [to the king], and in the
morning she would return to
the second harem, under the
charge of Shaashgaz, the
king's chamberlain, custodian
of the concubines. She would
not go to the king again,
unless the king desired her,
whereupon she would be
summoned by name.

21. 15 And when the time came for
Esther, daughter of Avichayil
uncle of Mordechai, who had
taken her as a daughter, to go
to the king, she did not ask for
a thing other than that which
Heigai, the king's chamberlain,
custodian of the women, had
advised. And Esther found
favor in the eyes of all who saw
her.
16 Esther was taken to King
Achashverosh, to his palace, in
the tenth month, which is the
month of Tevet, in the seventh
year of his reign.

22. 17 And the king loved Esther
more than all the women and
she won his favor and kindness
more than all the virgins; he
placed the royal crown on her
head and made her queen in
Vashti's stead.
18 Then the king made a grand
feast for all his ministers and
servants, The Feast of Esther.
He lowered [taxes] for the
provinces and gave presents
befitting the king.
19 And when the virgins were
gathered a second time,
Mordechai was sitting at the
king's gate.

23. 20 Esther would [still] not
divulge her ancestry or race,
as Mordechai had instructed
her. Indeed, Esther followed
Mordechai's instructions just as
she had done while under his
care.
21 In those days, while
Mordechai sat at the king's
gate, Bigtan and Teresh, two of
the king's chamberlains from
the threshold guards, became
angry and planned to
assassinate King
Achashverosh.

24. 22 The matter became known to
Mordechai and he informed
Queen Esther. Esther then
informed the king of it in
Mordechai's name.
23 The matter was investigated
and found [to be true] and the
two were hanged on the
gallows. It was then recorded in
the Book of Chronicles before
the king.

26. 1 After these events, King
Achashverosh promoted
Haman, son of Hamdata, the
Agagite and advanced him; he
placed his seat above all his
fellow ministers.
2 All the king's servants at the
king's gate kneeled and bowed
before Haman, for so had the
king commanded concerning
him. But Mordechai would not
kneel or bow.
3 The king's servants at the
king's gate said to Mordechai,
"Why do you transgress the
King's command?“

27. 4 Finally, when they had
said this to him day after
day and he did not listen to
them, they informed Haman
to see if Mordechai's words
would endure, for he had
told them that he [would
never bow because he] was
a Jew.
5 When Haman saw that
Mordechai would not kneel
or bow before him, Haman
was filled with wrath.

28. 6 But he thought it
contemptible to kill only
Mordechai, for they had
informed him of Mordechai's
nationality. Haman sought to
annihilate all the Jews,
Mordechai's people,
throughout Achashveirosh's
entire kingdom.
7 In the first month, which is
the month of Nissan, in the
twelfth year of King
Achashverosh's reign, a pur,
which is a lot, was cast
before Haman, for every day
and every month, [and it fell]
on the twelfth month, which is
the month of Adar.

29. 8 Haman said to King
Achashverosh, "There is one
nation scattered and
dispersed among the nations
throughout the provinces of
your kingdom, whose laws
are unlike those of any other
nation and who do not obey
the laws of the King. It is not
in the King's interest to
tolerate them.
9 If it please the King, let [an
edict] be issued for their
destruction, and I will pay ten
thousand silver talents to the
functionaries, to be deposited
in the King's treasuries."

30. 10 The king removed his
signet ring from his hand and
gave it to Haman, son of
Hamdata, the Agagite,
persecutor of the Jews.

and the nation is yours to do
with as you please."

31. 12 The king's scribes were
then summoned on the
thirteenth day of the first
month, and all that Haman
commanded to the king's
satraps and the governors of
each province and to the
nobles of each nation was
written to each province
according to its script and
each nation according to its
language. It was written in
King Achashveirosh's name
and sealed with the king's
signet ring.

32. 13 Letters were sent with
couriers to all the provinces of
the king: to annihilate, murder
and destroy all the Jews, young
and old, children and women,
on one dayùthe thirteenth day
of the twelfth month, which is
the month of Adar and to
plunder their possessions.
14 Copies of the edict were to
be proclaimed as law in every
province, clearly to all the
nations, so that they should be
ready for that day.

33. 15 The couriers hurried out
with the order of the king and
the law was proclaimed in
Shushan the capital. Then
the king and Haman sat
down to drink, while the city
of Shushan was in turmoil.

1 Mordechai knew all that had
occurred, so Mordechai tore
his clothes [in mourning] and
put on sackcloth and ash. He
went out into the city crying
loudly and bitterly.
2 He went up until the king's
gate, for it is improper to enter
the king's gate wearing
sackcloth.

36. 3 And in every province,
wherever the edict of the king
and his law reached, there was
great mourning among the
Jews, with fasting, crying and
wailing; sackcloth and ash were
spread out for the masses.
4 Esther's maids and
chamberlains came and told her
about it and the queen was
terrified. She sent garments with
which to dress Mordechai so
that he would remove his
sackcloth from upon him, but he
did not accept them.

37. 5 Esther summoned Hatach,
one of the king's chamberlains
whom he had placed in her
service, and she commanded
him to go to Mordechai to find
out the meaning of this and
what it was about.
6 Hatach went out to Mordechai,
to the city square that was in
front of the king's gate.

38. 7 And Mordechai told him about
all that had happened to him
and about the sum of money
that Haman had promised to
pay to the king's treasuries for
the right to destroy the Jews.
8 He also gave him a copy of
the law that was proclaimed in
Shushan calling for their
annihilation, to show Esther and
to tell her about it, and to
instruct her to go to the king to
beseech him and to plead with
him on behalf of her nation.
