| 5:1 | Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house. |
| 5:2 | And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre. |
| 5:3 | Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom. |
| 5:4 | And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him. |
| 5:5 | Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared. |
| 5:6 | And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed. |
| 5:7 | Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is; |
| 5:8 | If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said. |
| 5:9 | 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. |
| 5:10 | Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife. |
| 5:11 | And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king. |
| 5:12 | Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king. |
| 5:13 | Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate. |
| 5:14 | 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. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made. |
| 5:1 | ויהי ביום השׁלישׁי ותלבשׁ אסתר מלכות ותעמד בחצר בית המלך הפנימית נכח בית המלך והמלך יושׁב על כסא מלכותו בבית המלכות נכח פתח הבית׃ |
| 5:2 | ויהי כראות המלך את אסתר המלכה עמדת בחצר נשׂאה חן בעיניו ויושׁט המלך לאסתר את שׁרביט הזהב אשׁר בידו ותקרב אסתר ותגע בראשׁ השׁרביט׃ |
| 5:3 | ויאמר לה המלך מה לך אסתר המלכה ומה בקשׁתך עד חצי המלכות וינתן׃ |
| 5:4 | ותאמר אסתר אם על המלך טוב יבוא המלך והמן היום אל המשׁתה אשׁר עשׂיתי׃ |
| 5:5 | ויאמר המלך מהרו את המן לעשׂות את דבר אסתר ויבא המלך והמן אל המשׁתה אשׁר עשׂתה אסתר׃ |
| 5:6 | ויאמר המלך לאסתר במשׁתה היין מה שׁאלתך וינתן לך ומה בקשׁתך עד חצי המלכות ותעשׂ׃ |
| 5:7 | ותען אסתר ותאמר שׁאלתי ובקשׁתי׃ |
| 5:8 | אם מצאתי חן בעיני המלך ואם על המלך טוב לתת את שׁאלתי ולעשׂות את בקשׁתי יבוא המלך והמן אל המשׁתה אשׁר אעשׂה להם ומחר אעשׂה כדבר המלך׃ |
| 5:9 | ויצא המן ביום ההוא שׂמח וטוב לב וכראות המן את מרדכי בשׁער המלך ולא קם ולא זע ממנו וימלא המן על מרדכי חמה׃ |
| 5:10 | ויתאפק המן ויבוא אל ביתו וישׁלח ויבא את אהביו ואת זרשׁ אשׁתו׃ |
| 5:11 | ויספר להם המן את כבוד עשׁרו ורב בניו ואת כל אשׁר גדלו המלך ואת אשׁר נשׂאו על השׂרים ועבדי המלך׃ |
| 5:12 | ויאמר המן אף לא הביאה אסתר המלכה עם המלך אל המשׁתה אשׁר עשׂתה כי אם אותי וגם למחר אני קרוא לה עם המלך׃ |
| 5:13 | וכל זה איננו שׁוה לי בכל עת אשׁר אני ראה את מרדכי היהודי יושׁב בשׁער המלך׃ |
| 5:14 | ותאמר לו זרשׁ אשׁתו וכל אהביו יעשׂו עץ גבה חמשׁים אמה ובבקר אמר למלך ויתלו את מרדכי עליו ובא עם המלך אל המשׁתה שׂמח וייטב הדבר לפני המן ויעשׂ העץ׃ |
| 5:1 | And it cometh to pass on the third day, that Esther putteth on royalty, and standeth in the inner-court of the house of the king over-against the house of the king, and the king is sitting on his royal throne, in the royal-house, over-against the opening of the house, |
| 5:2 | and it cometh to pass, at the king's seeing Esther the queen standing in the court, she hath received grace in his eyes, and the king holdeth out to Esther the golden sceptre that `is' in his hand, and Esther draweth near, and toucheth the top of the sceptre. |
| 5:3 | And the king saith to her, `What -- to thee Esther, O queen? and what thy request? unto the half of the kingdom -- and it is given to thee.' |
| 5:4 | And Esther saith, `If unto the king `it be' good, the king doth come in, and Haman, to-day, unto the banquet that I have made for him;' |
| 5:5 | and the king saith, `Haste ye Haman -- to do the word of Esther;' and the king cometh in, and Haman, unto the banquet that Esther hath made. |
| 5:6 | And the king saith to Esther, during the banquet of wine, `What `is' thy petition? and it is given to thee; and what thy request? unto the half of the kingdom -- and it is done.' |
| 5:7 | And Esther answereth and saith, `My petition and my request `is': |
| 5:8 | if I have found grace in the eyes of the king, and if unto the king `it be' good, to give my petition, and to perform my request, the king doth come, and Haman, unto the banquet that I make for them, and to-morrow I do according to the word of the king.' |
| 5:9 | And Haman goeth forth on that day rejoicing and glad in heart, and at Haman's seeing Mordecai in the gate of the king, and he hath not risen nor moved for him, then is Haman full of fury against Mordecai. |
| 5:10 | And Haman forceth himself, and cometh in unto his house, and sendeth, and bringeth in his friends, and Zeresh his wife, |
| 5:11 | and Haman recounteth to them the glory of his wealth, and the abundance of his sons, and all that with which the king made him great, and with which he lifted him up above the heads and servants of the king. |
| 5:12 | And Haman saith, `Yea, Esther the queen brought none in with the king, unto the feast that she made, except myself, and also for to-morrow I am called to her, with the king, |
| 5:13 | and all this is not profitable to me, during all the time that I am seeing Mordecai the Jew sitting in the gate of the king.' |
| 5:14 | And Zeresh his wife saith to him, and all his friends, `Let them prepare a tree, in height fifty cubits, and in the morning speak to the king, and they hang Mordecai on it, and go thou in with the king unto the banquet rejoicing;' and the thing is good before Haman, and he prepareth the tree. |
