Passage
וְחָיָה וַאֲנִי לֹא נִקְרֵאתִי לָבוֹא אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ זֶה שְׁלוֹשִׁים יוֹם׃ וַיַּגִּידוּ
לְמָרְדֳּכַי אֵת דִּבְרֵי אֶסְתֵּר׃ וַיֹּאמֶר מָרְדֳּכַי לְהָשִׁיב אֶל־אֶסְתֵּר אַל־
תְּדַמִּי בְנַפְשֵׁךְ לְהִמָּלֵט בֵּית־הַמֶּלֶךְ מִכָּל־הַיְּהוּדִים׃ כִּי אִם־הַחֲרֵשׁ
תַּחֲרִישִׁי בָּעֵת הַזֹּאת רֶוַח וְהַצָּלָה יַעֲמוֹד לַיְּהוּדִים מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר
וְאַתְּ וּבֵית־אָבִיךְ תֹּאבֵדוּ וּמִי יוֹדֵעַ אִם־לְעֵת כָּזֹאת הִגַּעַתְּ לַמַּלְכוּת׃
וַתֹּאמֶר אֶסְתֵּר לְהָשִׁיב אֶל־מָרְדֳּכָי׃ לֵךְ כְּנוֹס אֶת־כָּל־הַיְּהוּדִים
הַנִּמְצְאִים בְּשׁוּשָׁן וְצוּמוּ עָלַי וְאַל־תֹּאכְלוּ וְאַל־תִּשְׁתּוּ שְׁלֹשֶׁת יָמִים
לַיְלָה וָיוֹם גַּם־אֲנִי וְנַעֲרֹתַי אָצוּם כֵּן וּבְכֵן אָבוֹא אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲשֶׁר
לֹא־כַדָּת וְכַאֲשֶׁר אָבַדְתִּי אָבָדְתִּי׃ וַיַּעֲבֹר מָרְדֳּכַי וַיַּעַשׂ כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־
צִוְּתָה עָלָיו אֶסְתֵּר׃ וַיְהִי ׀ בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וַתִּלְבַּשׁ אֶסְתֵּר מַלְכוּת
וַתַּעֲמֹד בַּחֲצַר בֵּית־הַמֶּלֶךְ הַפְּנִימִית נֹכַח בֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהַמֶּלֶךְ יוֹשֵׁב
עַל־כִּסֵּא מַלְכוּתוֹ בְּבֵית הַמַּלְכוּת נֹכַח פֶּתַח הַבָּיִת׃ וַיְהִי כִרְאוֹת
הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת־אֶסְתֵּר הַמַּלְכָּה עֹמֶדֶת בֶּחָצֵר נָשְׂאָה חֵן בְּעֵינָיו וַיּוֹשֶׁט
הַמֶּלֶךְ לְאֶסְתֵּר אֶת־שַׁרְבִיט הַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדוֹ וַתִּקְרַב אֶסְתֵּר וַתִּגַּע
בְּרֹאשׁ הַשַּׁרְבִיט׃ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהּ הַמֶּלֶךְ מַה־לָּךְ אֶסְתֵּר הַמַּלְכָּה וּמַה־
בַּקָּשָׁתֵךְ עַד־חֲצִי הַמַּלְכוּת וְיִנָּתֵן לָךְ׃ וַתֹּאמֶר אֶסְתֵּר אִם־עַל־הַמֶּלֶךְ
טוֹב יָבוֹא הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהָמָן הַיּוֹם אֶל־הַמִּשְׁתֶּה אֲשֶׁר־עָשִׂיתִי לוֹ׃ וַיֹּאמֶר
הַמֶּלֶךְ מַהֲרוּ אֶת־הָמָן לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת־דְּבַר אֶסְתֵּר וַיָּבֹא הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהָמָן
אֶל־הַמִּשְׁתֶּה אֲשֶׁר־עָשְׂתָה אֶסְתֵּר׃ וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ לְאֶסְתֵּר בְּמִשְׁתֵּה
הַיַּיִן מַה־שְּׁאֵלָתֵךְ וְיִנָּתֵן לָךְ וּמַה־בַּקָּשָׁתֵךְ עַד־חֲצִי הַמַּלְכוּת וְתֵעָשׂ׃
וַתַּעַן אֶסְתֵּר וַתֹּאמַר שְׁאֵלָתִי וּבַקָּשָׁתִי׃ אִם־מָצָאתִי חֵן בְּעֵינֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ
וְאִם־עַל־הַמֶּלֶךְ טוֹב לָתֵת אֶת־שְׁאֵלָתִי וְלַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת־בַּקָּשָׁתִי יָבוֹא
הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהָמָן אֶל־הַמִּשְׁתֶּה אֲשֶׁר אֶעֱשֶׂה לָהֶם וּמָחָר אֶעֱשֶׂה כִּדְבַר

מָרְדֳּכַי בְּשַׁעַר הַמֶּלֶךְ וְלֹא־קָם וְלֹא־זָע מִמֶּנּוּ וַיִּמָּלֵא הָמָן עַל־מָרְדֳּכַי

been called to come before the king these thirty days past." And Mordekhai was told what Esther had said. Mordekhai sent back reply to Esther - "Do not imagine that you can escape to the king's palace from the fate of all the Jews. For if you keep your silence at this time, relief and salvation will come forth for the Jews from some other place - but you and your father's house will be lost forever. And who can say; could it not be for just such a time as this that you came into royalty?" Esther sent back word to Mordekhai - "Go. Gather all the Jews in Shushan, and fast for me, do not eat and do not drink for three whole days, day or night; I and my maids shall fast also. And so shall I come before the king, in defiance of the law - and if I am lost - I am lost." Then Mordekhai walked on, and did all that Esther had bid him. On the third day, Esther dressed herself in royalty, and came to stand in the inner courtyard of the king's palace, facing the palace, while the king sat upon his royal throne in the great hall, facing the palace entrance. And when the king noticed Queen Esther standing in the courtyard, she carried grace in his eyes, and the king extended the golden scepter in his hand towards Esther, and Esther came forward and touched the scepter's end. And the king said to her, "What brings you, Esther my queen? And what would you ask? Be it even half my kingdom, it shall be yours." Esther said, "If it so please Your Majesty, may the king come today, with Haman, to the feast that I have prepared for him." And the king called out, "Hurry - fetch Haman to carry out Esther's word!" So the king and Haman come to the feast that Esther had prepared. And at that drinking feast, the king said to Esther, "What is your desire, then? It shall be yours. And what would you ask? Be it even half my kingdom, it shall be done." So Esther answered and replied, "This is my desire and my request: if I am pleasing to the king, and if it so please the king, to grant what I desire, to give me my request - let the king and Haman come again to the feast that I shall prepare for them. And tomorrow I shall do whatever the king asks." Haman went out on that day, happy and buoyant of heart. But when he saw Mordekhai at the King's Gate, and the latter did not stand up and did not tremble in his presence, Haman was filled with rage against Mordekhai. Yet Haman restrained himself until he reached his home, and there he sent for
