Then said H559 the king's H4428 servants H5288 that ministered H8334 to him, Let there be fair H2896 H4758 young H5291 virgins H1330 sought H1245 for the king: H4428

And let the maiden H5291 which H834 pleases H3190 H5869 the king H4428 be queen H4427 instead H8478 of Vashti. H2060 And the thing H1697 pleased H3190 H5869 the king; H4428 and he did H6213 so. H3651

Who H834 had been carried H1540 away H1546 from Jerusalem H3389 with the captivity H1473 which H834 had been carried H1540 away H1546 with Jeconiah H3204 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 whom H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had carried H1540 away. H1546

So it came H1961 to pass, when the king's H4428 commandment H1697 and his decree H1881 was heard, H8085 and when many H7227 maidens H5291 were gathered H6908 together to Shushan H7800 the palace, H1002 to the custody H3027 of Hegai, H1896 that Esther H635 was brought H3947 also to the king's H4428 house, H1004 to the custody H3027 of Hegai, H1896 keeper H8104 of the women. H802

Esther H635 had not showed H5046 her people H5971 nor her kindred: H4138 for Mordecai H4782 had charged H6680 her that she should not show H5046 it.

Now when every maid's H5291 turn H8447 was come H5060 to go H935 in to king H4428 Ahasuerus, H325 after H7093 that she had been H1961 twelve H8147 H6240 months, H2320 according to the manner H1881 of the women, H802 (for so H3651 were the days H3117 of their purifications H4795 accomplished, H4390 to wit, six H8337 months H2320 with oil H8081 of myrrh, H4753 and six H8337 months H2320 with sweet H1314 odors, H1314 and with other things H1697 for the purifying H8562 of the women; H802 )

In the evening H6153 she went, H935 and on the morrow H1242 she returned H7725 into H413 the second H8145 house H1004 of the women, H802 to the custody H3027 of Shaashgaz, H8190 the king's H4428 chamberlain, H5631 which kept H8104 the concubines: H6370 she came H935 in to the king H4428 no H3808 more, H5750 except H3588 H518 the king H4428 delighted H2654 in her, and that she were called H7121 by name. H8034

So Esther H635 was taken H3947 to king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 into H413 his house H1004 royal H4438 in the tenth H6224 month, H2320 which is the month H2320 Tebeth, H2887 in the seventh H7651 year H8141 of his reign. H4438

If a ruler H4910 listen H7181 to lies, H1697 H8267 all H3605 his servants H8334 are wicked. H7563

They are all H3605 adulterers, H5003 as an oven H8574 heated H1197 by the baker, H644 who ceases H7673 from raising H5782 after he has kneaded H3888 the dough, H1217 until H5704 it be leavened. H2557

In the day H3117 of our king H4428 the princes H8269 have made him sick H2470 with bottles H2573 of wine; H3196 he stretched H4900 out his hand H3027 with scorners. H3945

And the daughter H1323 of Pharaoh H6547 came H3381 down H3381 to wash H7364 herself at H5921 the river; H2975 and her maidens H5291 walked H1980 along by the river's H2975 side; H3027 and when she saw H7200 the ark H8392 among H8432 the flags, H5488 she sent H7971 her maid H519 to fetch H3947 it.

Now when Pharaoh H6547 heard H8085 this H2088 thing, H1697 he sought H1245 to slay H2026 Moses. H4872 But Moses H4872 fled H1272 from the face H6440 of Pharaoh, H6547 and dwelled H3427 in the land H776 of Midian: H4080 and he sat H3427 down by a well. H875

And Solomon H8010 made affinity H2859 with Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt, H4714 and took H3947 Pharaoh's H6547 daughter, H1323 and brought H935 her into H413 the city H5892 of David, H1732 until H5704 he had made an end H3615 of building H1129 his own house, H1004 and the house H1004 of the LORD, H3068 and the wall H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 round H5439 about.

Now, H6258 behold, H2009 you trust H982 on the staff H4938 of this H2088 bruised H7533 reed, H7070 even on Egypt, H4714 on H5921 which H834 if H834 a man H376 lean, H5564 it will go H935 into his hand, H3709 and pierce H5344 it: so H3651 is Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 to all H3605 that trust H982 on H5921 him.

Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt, H4714 and his servants, H5650 and his princes, H8269 and all H3605 his people; H5971

They did cry H7121 there, H8033 Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt H4714 is but a noise; H7588 he has passed H5674 the time appointed. H4150

Son H1121 of man, H120 take H5375 up a lamentation H7015 for Pharaoh H6547 king H4428 of Egypt, H4714 and say H559 to him, You are like H1819 a young H3715 lion H3715 of the nations, H1471 and you are as a whale H8565 in the seas: H3220 and you came H1518 forth H1518 with your rivers, H5104 and troubled H1804 the waters H4325 with your feet, H7272 and fouled H7515 their rivers. H5104

And Abraham H85 said H559 of Sarah H8283 his wife, H802 She is my sister: H269 and Abimelech H40 king H4428 of Gerar H1642 sent, H7971 and took H3947 Sarah. H8283

And the maiden H5291 pleased H3190 H5869 him, and she obtained H5375 kindness H2617 of him; and he speedily H926 gave H5414 her her things H1697 for purification, H8562 with such things H1697 as belonged H4490 to her, and seven H7651 maidens, H5291 which were meet H7200 to be given H5414 her, out of the king's H4428 house: H1004 and he preferred H8138 her and her maids H5291 to the best H2896 place of the house H1004 of the women. H802

Seek H1875 the LORD, H3050 and his strength: H5797 seek H1245 his face H6440 ever more. H8548

So H3651 he that goes H935 in to his neighbor's H7453 wife; H802 whoever H3605 touches H5060 her shall not be innocent. H5352

Marriage G1062 is honorable G5093 in all, G3956 and the bed G2845 undefiled: G283 but fornicators G4205 and adulterers G3432 God G2316 will judge. G2919
