mordecai <EZR2 -2> Which came with Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah,

Seraiah, Reelaiah, {Mordecai}, Bilshan, Mizpar, Bigvai, Rehum,

Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

mordecai <NEH7 -7> Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah,

Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, {Mordecai}, Bilshan, Mispereth,

Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, [I say], of the men of the

people of Israel [was this];

mordecai <EST2 -5> Now] in Shushan the palace there was a

certain Jew, whose name [was] {Mordecai}, the son of Jair, the

son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;

mordecai <EST2 -7> And he brought up Hadassah, that [is], Esther,

 his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother,

and the maid [was] fair and beautiful; whom {Mordecai}, when her

father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.

mordecai <EST2 -10> Esther had not showed her people nor her

kindred: for {Mordecai} had charged her that she should not show

[it].

mordecai <EST2 -11> And {Mordecai} walked every day before the

court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what

should become of her.

mordecai <EST2 -15> Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of

Abihail the uncle of {Mordecai}, who had taken her for his

daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing

but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women,

app

ointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that

looked upon her.

mordecai <EST2 -19> And when the virgins were gathered together

the second time, then {Mordecai} sat in the king's gate.

mordecai <EST2 -20> Esther had not [yet] showed her kindred nor

her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the

commandment of {Mordecai}, like as when she was brought up with

him.

mordecai <EST2 -20> Esther had not [yet] showed her kindred nor

her people; as {Mordecai} had charged her: for Esther did the

commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with

him.

mordecai <EST2 -21> In those days, while {Mordecai} sat in the

king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh,

of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand

on the king Ahasuerus.

mordecai <EST2 -22> And the thing was known to {Mordecai}, who

told [it] unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king

[thereof] in Mordecai's name.

mordecai <EST3 -2> And all the king's servants, that [were] in

the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had

so commanded concerning him. But {Mordecai} bowed not, nor did

[him] reverence.

mordecai <EST3 -3> Then the king's servants, which [were] in the

king's gate, said unto {Mordecai}, Why transgressest thou the

king's commandment?

mordecai <EST3 -5> And when Haman saw that {Mordecai} bowed not,

nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.

mordecai <EST3 -6> And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai

alone; for they had showed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore

Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that [were] throughout the

whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, [even] the people of {Mordecai}.

mordecai <EST3 -6> And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai

alone; for they had showed him the people of {Mordecai}:

wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that [were]

throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, [even] the people of

Mordecai.

mordecai <EST3 -6> And he thought scorn to lay hands on

{Mordecai} alone; for they had showed him the people of Mordecai:

 wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that [were]

throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, [even] the people of

Mordecai.

mordecai <EST4 -1> When Mordecai perceived all that was done,

{Mordecai} rent 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;

mordecai <EST4 -1> When {Mordecai} perceived all that was done,

Mordecai rent 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;

mordecai <EST4 -4> So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came

and told [it] her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and

she sent raiment to clothe {Mordecai}, and to take away his

sackcloth from him: but he received [it] not.

mordecai <EST4 -5> Then called Esther for Hatach, [one] of the

king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her,

and gave him a commandment to {Mordecai}, to know what it [was],

and why it [was].

mordecai <EST4 -6> So Hatach went forth to {Mordecai} unto the

street of the city, which [was] before the king's gate.

mordecai <EST4 -7> And {Mordecai} told him of all that had

happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had

promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to

destroy them.

mordecai <EST4 -9> And Hatach came and told Esther the words of

{Mordecai}.

mordecai <EST4 -10> Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him

commandment unto {Mordecai};

mordecai <EST4 -12> And they told to {Mordecai} Esther's words.

mordecai <EST4 -13> Then {Mordecai} commanded to answer Esther,

Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's

house, more than all the Jews.

mordecai <EST4 -15> Then Esther bade [them] return {Mordecai}

[this answer],

mordecai <EST4 -17> So {Mordecai} went his way, and did

according to all that Esther had commanded him.

mordecai <EST5 -9> Then went Haman forth that day joyful and

with a glad heart: but when Haman saw {Mordecai} in the king's

gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of

indignation against Mordecai.

mordecai <EST5 -9> Then went Haman forth that day joyful and

with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's

gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of

indignation against {Mordecai}.

mordecai <EST5 -13> Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as

I see {Mordecai} the Jew sitting at the king's gate.

mordecai <EST5 -14> Then said Zeresh his wife and all his

friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high,

and to morrow speak thou unto the king that {Mordecai} may be

hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the

banquet. A

nd the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.

mordecai <EST6 -2> And it was found written, that {Mordecai} had

told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the

keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king

Ahasuerus.

mordecai <EST6 -3> And the king said, What honour and dignity

hath been done to {Mordecai} for this? Then said the king's

servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.

mordecai <EST6 -4> And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now

Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to

speak unto the king to hang {Mordecai} on the gallows that he

had prepared for him.

mordecai <EST6 -10> Then the king said to Haman, Make haste,

[and] take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do

even so to {Mordecai} the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate:

let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.

mordecai <EST6 -11> Then took Haman the apparel and the horse,

and arrayed {Mordecai}, and brought him on horseback through the

street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be

done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.

mordecai <EST6 -12> And {Mordecai} came again to the king's gate.

 But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head

covered.

mordecai <EST6 -13> And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his

friends every [thing] that had befallen him. Then said his wise

men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If {Mordecai} [be] of the seed

of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt no

t prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.

mordecai <EST7 -9> And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said

before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high,

which Haman had made for {Mordecai}, who had spoken good for the

king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang

him

 thereon.

mordecai <EST7 -10> So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he

had prepared for {Mordecai}. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

mordecai <EST8 -1> On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the

house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And

{Mordecai} came before the king; for Esther had told what he

[was] unto her.

mordecai <EST8 -2> And the king took off his ring, which he had

taken from Haman, and gave it unto {Mordecai}. And Esther set

Mordecai over the house of Haman.

mordecai <EST8 -2> And the king took off his ring, which he had

taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set

{Mordecai} over the house of Haman.

mordecai <EST8 -7> Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the

queen and to {Mordecai} the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the

house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows,

because he laid his hand upon the Jews.

mordecai <EST8 -9> Then were the king's scribes called at that

time in the third month, that [is], the month Sivan, on the

three and twentieth [day] thereof; and it was written according

to all that {Mordecai} commanded unto the Jews, and to the

lieutenan

ts, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which [are]

from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces,

unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto

every people after their language, and to the Jews according to

th

eir writing, and according to their language.

mordecai <EST8 -15> And {Mordecai} went out from the presence of

the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great

crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and

the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.

mordecai <EST9 -3> And all the rulers of the provinces, and the

lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped

the Jews; because the fear of {Mordecai} fell upon them.

mordecai <EST9 -4> For Mordecai [was] great in the king's house,

and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man

{Mordecai} waxed greater and greater.

mordecai <EST9 -4> For {Mordecai} [was] great in the king's

house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for

this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.

mordecai <EST9 -20> And {Mordecai} wrote these things, and sent

letters unto all the Jews that [were] in all the provinces of

the king Ahasuerus, [both] nigh and far,

mordecai <EST9 -23> And the Jews undertook to do as they had

begun, and as {Mordecai} had written unto them;

mordecai <EST9 -29> Then Esther the queen, the daughter of

Abihail, and {Mordecai} the Jew, wrote with all authority, to

confirm this second letter of Purim.

mordecai <EST9 -31> To confirm these days of Purim in their

times [appointed], according as {Mordecai} the Jew and Esther

the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for

themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and

their cry.

mordecai <EST10 -2> And all the acts of his power and of his

might, and the declaration of the greatness of {Mordecai},

whereunto the king advanced him, [are] they not written in the

book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?

mordecai <EST10 -3> For {Mordecai} the Jew [was] next unto king

Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the

multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and

speaking peace to all his seed.
