Ester 3
1 Haman, advanced by the king, and despised by Mordecai, seeketh revenge upon all the Jews. 7 He casteth lots. 8 He obtaineth, by calumniation, a decree of the king to put the Jews to death.

3:1 ¶
After
310
these
x428
things
1697
did king
4428
Ahasuerus
325
promote
1431
z8765
x853
Haman,
2001
the sonne
1121
of Amedatha
4099
the Agagite,
91
and aduanced
5375
z8762
him, and set
7760
z8799
x853
his seate
3678
aboue
x4480
x5921
all
x3605
the princes
8269
that
x834
[were] with
x854
him.

3:2
And all
x3605
the kings
4428
seruants,
5650
that
x834
[were] in the kings
4428
gate,
8179
bowed,
3766
z8802
and reuerenced
7812
z8693
Haman,
2001
for
x3588
the king
4428
had so
x3651
commanded
6680
z8765
concerning him: but Mordecai
4782
bowed
3766
z8799
not,
x3808
nor
x3808
did [him] reuerence.
7812
z8691

3:3
Then the kings
4428
seruants,
5650
which
x834
[were] in the kings
4428
gate,
8179
sayd
559
z8799
vnto Mordecai,
4782
Why
x4069
transgressest
5674
z8802
thou
x859
x853
the kings
4428
commandement?
4687

3:4
Now it came to passe,
x1961
when they spake
559
z8800
daily
3117
vnto
x413
him, and he hearkened
8085
z8804
not
x3808
vnto
x413
them; that they told
5046
z8686
Haman,
2001
to see
7200
z8800
whether Mordecai
4782
his matters
1697
would stand,
5975
z8799

x3588
he had told
5046
z8689
them that
x834
he
x1931
[was] a Iewe.

7200
z8799
that
x3588
Mordecai
4782
bowed
3766
z8802
not,
x369
nor did him reuerence,
7812
z8693
then was Haman
2001
full
4390
z8735
of wrath.
2534

And hee thought
5869
scorne
959
z8799
to lay
7971
z8800
hands
3027
on Mordecai
4782
alone,
x905
for
x3588
they had shewed
5046
z8689
him
x853
the people
5971
of Mordecai:
4782
wherefore Haman
2001
sought
1245
z8762
to destroy
8045
z8687
x853
all
x3605
the Iewes,
3064

euen the people

5212
in the twelfth

Pur,

3:8 ¶
And Haman
2001

325
There is
