After [0310] these things [01697] did king [04428] Ahasuerus [0325] promote [01431] Haman [02001] the son [01121] of Hammedatha [04099] the Agagite [091], and advanced [05375] him, and set [07760] his seat [03678] above all the princes [08269] that were with him.
And the king [04428] took [05493] his ring [02885] from his hand [03027], and gave [05414] it unto Haman [02001] the son [01121] of Hammedatha [04099] the Agagite [091], the Jews' [03064] enemy [06887].enemy: or, oppressor
And said [0559], If it please [02896] the king [04428], and if I have found [04672] favour [02580] in his sight [06440], and the thing [01697] seem right [03787] before [06440] the king [04428], and I be pleasing [02896] in his eyes [05869], let it be written [03789] to reverse [07725] the letters [05612] devised [04284] by Haman [02001] the son [01121] of Hammedatha [04099] the Agagite [091], which he wrote [03789] to destroy [06] the Jews [03064] which are in all the king's [04428] provinces [04082]:devised: Heb. the devicewhich he…: or, who wrote
The ten [06235] sons [01121] of Haman [02001] the son [01121] of Hammedatha [04099], the enemy [06887] of the Jews [03064], slew [02026] they; but on the spoil [0961] laid [07971] they not their hand [03027].
Because Haman [02001] the son [01121] of Hammedatha [04099], the Agagite [091], the enemy [06887] of all the Jews [03064], had devised [02803] against the Jews [03064] to destroy [06] them, and had cast [05307] Pur [06332], that is, the lot [01486], to consume [02000] them, and to destroy [06] them;consume: Heb. crush
