Theme

Esther 6 (14 verses in the MT) opens: On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. The middle of the chapter continues: Let the royal apparel be brought which the king to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head: It closes: And while they yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

Translation & textual notes

The Hebrew base text here follows the Masoretic Text in the Leningrad tradition as represented by the Westminster Leningrad Codex / MorphHB diplomatic stream imported from OSHB; distinctively copyrighted apparatus from BHS or BHQ is not reproduced. Esther 6 comprises 14 verses in MT order. Movement I (vv. 1-4) — On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the bo. On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. 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. And the king said, What honour and dignity. Movement II (vv. 5-8) — And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in. So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself? And Haman answered the king, For the man. Movement III (vv. 9-12) — And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the ki. And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour. Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, take. Movement IV (vv. 13-14) — And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every that had befall. And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife to him, If Mordecai of the seed of the Jews, before whom you have begun to fall, you shall not prevail against him, but shall surely fall before him. And while they yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring. Where English printed Bibles divide verses differently, this annotation follows MT versification throughout.
