3:1 After
these
things
hath
the
king
Ahasuerus
exalted
Haman
son
of
Hammedatha
the
Agagite,
and
lifteth
him
up,
and
setteth
his
throne
above
all
the
heads
who
[are]
with
him,
3:2 and
all
servants
of
the
king,
who
[are]
in
the
gate
of
the
king,
are
bowing
and
doing
obeisance
to
Haman,
for
so
hath
the
king
commanded
for
him;
and
Mordecai
doth
not
bow
nor
do
obeisance.
3:3 And
the
servants
of
the
king,
who
[are]
in
the
gate
of
the
king,
say
to
Mordecai,
`Wherefore
[art]
thou
transgressing
the
command
of
the
king'
3:4 And
it
cometh
to
pass,
in
their
speaking
unto
him,
day
by
day,
and
he
hath
not
hearkened
unto
them,
that
they
declare
[it]
to
Haman,
to
see
whether
the
words
of
Mordecai
do
stand,
for
he
hath
declared
to
them
that
he
[is]
a
Jew.
3:5 And
Haman
seeth
that
Mordecai
is
not
bowing
and
doing
obeisance
to
him,
and
Haman
is
full
of
fury,
3:6 and
it
is
contemptible
in
his
eyes
to
put
forth
a
hand
on
Mordecai
by
himself,
for
they
have
declared
to
him
the
people
of
Mordecai,
and
Haman
seeketh
to
destroy
all
the
Jews
who
[are]
in
all
the
kingdom
of
Ahasuerus--the
people
of
Mordecai.
3:7 In
the
first
month--it
[is]
the
month
of
Nisan--in
the
twelfth
year
of
the
king
Ahasuerus,
hath
one
caused
to
fall
Pur
(that
[is]
the
lot)
before
Haman,
from
day
to
day,
and
from
month
to
month,
[to]
the
twelfth,
it
[is]
the
month
of
Adar.
3:8 And
Haman
saith
to
the
king
Ahasuerus,
`There
is
one
people
scattered
and
separated
among
the
peoples,
in
all
provinces
of
thy
kingdom,
and
their
laws
[are]
diverse
from
all
people,
and
the
laws
of
the
king
they
are
not
doing,
and
for
the
king
it
is
not
profitable
to
suffer
them;
3:9 if
to
the
king
[it
be]
good,
let
it
be
written
to
destroy
them,
and
ten
thousand
talents
of
silver
I
weigh
into
the
hands
of
those
doing
the
work,
to
bring
[it]
in
unto
the
treasuries
of
the
king.'
3:10 And
the
king
turneth
aside
his
signet
from
off
his
hand,
and
giveth
it
to
Haman
son
of
Hammedatha
the
Agagite,
adversary
of
the
Jews;
3:11 and
the
king
saith
to
Haman,
`The
silver
is
given
to
thee,
and
the
people,
to
do
with
it
as
[it
is]
good
in
thine
eyes.'
3:12 And
scribes
of
the
king
are
called,
on
the
first
month,
on
the
thirteenth
day
of
it,
and
it
is
written
according
to
all
that
Haman
hath
commanded,
unto
lieutenants
of
the
king,
and
unto
the
governors
who
[are]
over
province
and
province,
and
unto
the
heads
of
people
and
people,
province
and
province,
according
to
its
writing,
and
people
and
people
according
to
its
tongue,
in
the
name
of
the
king
Ahasuerus
it
hath
been
written
and
sealed
with
the
signet
of
the
king,
3:13 and
letters
to
be
sent
by
the
hand
of
the
runners
unto
all
provinces
of
the
king,
to
cut
off,
to
slay,
and
to
destroy
all
the
Jews,
from
young
even
unto
old,
infant
and
women,
on
one
day,
on
the
thirteenth
of
the
twelfth
month--it
[
is]
the
month
of
Adar--and
their
spoil
to
seize,
3:14 a
copy
of
the
writing
to
be
made
law
in
every
province
and
province
is
revealed
to
all
the
peoples,
to
be
ready
for
this
day.
3:15 The
runners
have
gone
forth,
hastened
by
the
word
of
the
king,
and
the
law
hath
been
given
in
Shushan
the
palace,
and
the
king
and
Haman
have
sat
down
to
drink,
and
the
city
Shushan
is
perplexed.
