7131 | RUT 1:2 | His name was Elimelech and his wife’s was Naomi, and his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. After they had been living in Moab for some time, |
7132 | RUT 1:3 | Elimelech died, and Naomi was left with her two sons, |
7141 | RUT 1:12 | Go back, my daughters, go your own way, because I am too old to have a husband. Even if I should say, “I have hope,” even if I should have a husband tonight and should bear sons, |
7152 | RUT 2:1 | Now Naomi was related through her husband to a very wealthy man of the family of Elimelech named Boaz. |
7154 | RUT 2:3 | So she went to glean in the field after the reapers. As it happened, she was in that part of the field which belonged to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech. |
7195 | RUT 4:3 | Then he said to the near relative, ‘Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for sale the piece of land which belonged to our relative Elimelech, |
7201 | RUT 4:9 | Then Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, ‘You are witnesses at this time that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s from Naomi. |
7203 | RUT 4:11 | Then all the people who were at the gate and the elders said, ‘We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your house like Rachel and Leah, who together built the house of Israel. May you do well in Ephrata, and become famous in Bethlehem. |
12707 | EST 1:1 | These events happened in the time of Ahasuerus, who ruled over a hundred and twenty-seven provinces from India to Ethiopia |
12735 | EST 2:7 | Mordecai had adopted Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter, since she had neither father nor mother. The girl was shapely and beautiful; and after her father and mother died, Mordecai raised her as if she was his own daughter. |
12736 | EST 2:8 | When the king’s command and decree were known, many girls were gathered together to Susa the capital under the custody of Hegai. Esther was also taken into the king’s palace and placed under the custody of Hegai, who had charge of the women. |
12738 | EST 2:10 | Esther had not revealed her people nor her family background because Mordecai had ordered her not to. |
12739 | EST 2:11 | Every day Mordecai would to walk in front of the courtyard of the harem and ask after Esther’s health and what was happening to her. |
12743 | EST 2:15 | When it was the turn of Esther (the girl adopted by Mordecai, daughter of his uncle Abihail) to go in to the king, she only took with her those things that Hegai, the king’s eunuch in charge of the women, had advised her to take. Esther was liked by all who saw her. |
12744 | EST 2:16 | Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus in the royal palace in the tenth month, the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. |
12746 | EST 2:18 | Then the king gave a great feast to all his officials and courtiers in honour of Esther, and he remitted the taxes of the provinces and distributed gifts with royal liberality. |
12748 | EST 2:20 | Esther had not revealed her people or family background because she still obeyed him as she had when he was bringing her up. |
12750 | EST 2:22 | But Mordecai learned of the conspiracy and disclosed it to Queen Esther, and she told the king on Mordecai’s behalf. |
12770 | EST 4:4 | When Esther’s maids and attendants told her about Mordecai’s behaviour, she was greatly troubled. She sent garments for Mordecai to put on, so that he could take off his sack-cloth, but he would not accept them. |
12771 | EST 4:5 | So Esther called Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs whom he had appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what it all meant and the reason for it. |
12774 | EST 4:8 | Also he gave him a copy of the decree to destroy them, that had been published in Susa, to show to Esther for her information. He also told her to go to the king and implore his mercy and to plead with him in behalf of her people. |
12775 | EST 4:9 | When Hathach came and told Esther what Mordecai had said, |
12778 | EST 4:12 | When Mordecai was told what Esther had said, |
12779 | EST 4:13 | he sent back this reply to Esther, ‘Don’t imagine that you alone of all the Jews will escape because you belong to the king’s household. |
12781 | EST 4:15 | Then Esther sent this message to Mordecai: |
12783 | EST 4:17 | Mordecai did everything Esther had directed. |
12784 | EST 5:1 | On the third day, Esther put on her regalia and stood in the inner court of the royal palace opposite the king’s house. The king was sitting on his throne in the palace, opposite the entrance. |
12785 | EST 5:2 | When he saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she won his favour, and he held out to her the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the top of the sceptre. |
12786 | EST 5:3 | Then the king said to her, ‘What is it, Queen Esther? Whatever your request is, it will be granted, even if it is the half of the kingdom.’ |
12787 | EST 5:4 | ‘If it seems best to the king,’ Esther said, ‘let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.’ |
12788 | EST 5:5 | Then the king ordered, ‘Bring Haman quickly, so that Esther’s wish may be gratified.’ So the king and Haman went to the banquet that Esther had prepared. |
12789 | EST 5:6 | While they were drinking wine, the king said to Esther, ‘Whatever your petition is, it will be granted. Your request, it will be done – even if it takes half of my kingdom.’ |
12790 | EST 5:7 | Esther answered, |
12795 | EST 5:12 | ‘What is more,’ Haman said, ‘Queen Esther brought no one in with the king to the banquet which she had prepared except me, and tomorrow also I am invited by her along with the king. |
12811 | EST 6:14 | While they were still talking with him, the king’s attendants came and quickly took Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared. |
12812 | EST 7:1 | So the king and Haman went to drink with Queen Esther. |
12813 | EST 7:2 | As they were drinking wine on that second day, the king again said to Esther, ‘Whatever your petition is, Queen Esther, it will be granted to you. Whatever you request it will be done, even if it takes half of the kingdom.’ |
12814 | EST 7:3 | Then Queen Esther answered, ‘Your Majesty, if I have won your favour, and if it seems best to Your Majesty, let my life be given me as my petition, and my people as my request, |
12816 | EST 7:5 | Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther, ‘Who is he and where is he whose heart has impelled him to do this?’ |
12817 | EST 7:6 | ‘A foe, an enemy: this wicked Haman.’ Esther answered. Haman shrank in terror before the king and the queen. |
12818 | EST 7:7 | In his wrath the king rose from the place where he was drinking wine and went into the palace garden. Haman stayed to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he saw that the king was fully determined to bring calamity upon him. |
12819 | EST 7:8 | As the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman had flung himself on Esther’s couch. The king cried, ‘Is he going to rape my queen while I am present in my own house?’ As the king spoke these words, the attendants covered Haman’s face |
12822 | EST 8:1 | At that time King Ahasuerus gave the property of Haman the Jews’ enemy to Queen Esther. Mordecai was made one of the king’s personal advisers, for Esther had disclosed his relationship to her. |
12823 | EST 8:2 | The king also drew off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman. He gave it to Mordecai, and Esther placed Mordecai in charge of Haman’s property. |
12824 | EST 8:3 | Then Esther sought another audience with the king and fell at his feet and with tears begged him to avert the evil planned by Haman the Agagite and to frustrate his designs against the Jews. |
12828 | EST 8:7 | Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, ‘See, I have given Esther the property of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows, because he laid hands upon the Jews. |
12830 | EST 8:9 | On the twenty-third day of the third month (that is the month of Sivan), the king’s secretaries were summoned and as Mordecai instructed an edict was issued to the Jews, to the satraps and provincial governors and the rulers of each of the one hundred twenty-seven provinces from India to Ethiopia in their own script and their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language. |
12850 | EST 9:12 | and the king said to Queen Esther, ‘The Jews have slain five hundred people in Susa, and the ten sons of Haman. What then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is your petition? It will be granted to you. What is your request? It will be done.’ |
12851 | EST 9:13 | ‘If it please the king,’ Esther said, ‘let it be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do tomorrow also according to this day’s decree. Let the bodies of Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.’ |
12867 | EST 9:29 | Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, gave Mordecai the Jew all authority in writing to confirm this second letter of Purim. |
12869 | EST 9:31 | to confirm these days of Purim in their proper times, to be observed as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had directed and as the Jews had proscribed for themselves and their descendants, in the matter of the fastings and their cry of lamentation. |
12870 | EST 9:32 | And the commands of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the records. |

15238 | PSA 78:67 | He disowned the tent of Joseph, he rejected the tribe of Ephraim; |
