וַיִּשָּׂא דָוִיד אֶת-עֵינָיו וַיַּרְא אֶת-מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה עֹמֵד בֵּין הָאָרֶץ וּבֵין הַשָּׁמַיִם וְחַרְבּוֹ שְׁלוּפָה בְּיָדוֹ נְטוּיָה עַל-יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם וַיִּפֹּל דָּוִיד וְהַזְּקֵנִים מְכֻסִּים בַּשַּׂקִּים עַל-פְּנֵיהֶֽם׃
And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
וַיֹּאמֶר אָרְנָן אֶל-דָּוִיד קַֽח-לָךְ וְיַעַשׂ אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּלֶךְ הַטּוֹב בְּעֵינָיו רְאֵה נָתַתִּי הַבָּקָר לָֽעֹלוֹת וְהַמּֽוֹרִגִּים לָֽעֵצִים וְהַֽחִטִּים לַמִּנְחָה הַכֹּל נָתָֽתִּי׃
And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all.
וְעַתָּה לְעֵינֵי כָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל קְהַל-יְהוָה וּבְאָזְנֵי אֱלֹהֵינוּ שִׁמְרוּ וְדִרְשׁוּ כָּל-מִצְוֹת יְהוָה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם לְמַעַן תִּֽירְשׁוּ אֶת-הָאָרֶץ הַטּוֹבָה וְהִנְחַלְתֶּם לִבְנֵיכֶם אַֽחֲרֵיכֶם עַד-עוֹלָֽם׃

וַיְבָרֶךְ דָּוִיד אֶת-יְהוָה לְעֵינֵי כָּל-הַקָּהָל וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָבִינוּ מֵֽעוֹלָם וְעַד-עוֹלָֽם׃

וַיְגַדֵּל יְהוָה אֶת-שְׁלֹמֹה לְמַעְלָה לְעֵינֵי כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּתֵּן עָלָיו הוֹד מַלְכוּת אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא-הָיָה עַל-כָּל-מֶלֶךְ לְפָנָיו עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
לִֽהְיוֹת עֵינֶיךָ פְתֻחוֹת אֶל-הַבַּיִת הַזֶּה יוֹמָם וָלַיְלָה אֶל-הַמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר אָמַרְתָּ לָשׂוּם שִׁמְךָ שָׁם לִשְׁמוֹעַ אֶל-הַתְּפִלָּה אֲשֶׁר יִתְפַּלֵּל עַבְדְּךָ אֶל-הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.
עַתָּה אֱלֹהַי יִֽהְיוּ-נָא עֵינֶיךָ פְּתֻחוֹת וְאָזְנֶיךָ קַשֻּׁבוֹת לִתְפִלַּת הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
עַתָּה עֵינַי יִֽהְיוּ פְתֻחוֹת וְאָזְנַי קַשֻּׁבוֹת לִתְפִלַּת הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:
כִּי יְהוָה עֵינָיו מְשֹֽׁטְטוֹת בְּכָל-הָאָרֶץ לְהִתְחַזֵּק עִם-לְבָבָם שָׁלֵם אֵלָיו נִסְכַּלְתָּ עַל-זֹאת כִּי מֵעַתָּה יֵשׁ עִמְּךָ מִלְחָמֽוֹת׃
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
אֱלֹהֵינוּ הֲלֹא תִשְׁפָּט-בָּם כִּי אֵין בָּנוּ כֹּחַ לִפְנֵי הֶֽהָמוֹן הָרָב הַזֶּה הַבָּא עָלֵינוּ וַֽאֲנַחְנוּ לֹא נֵדַע מַֽה-נַּעֲשֶׂה כִּי עָלֶיךָ עֵינֵֽינוּ׃
O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.
וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ אָבִיו אָסָא וְלֹא-סָר מִמֶּנָּה לַֽעֲשׂוֹת הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָֽה׃
And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD.
וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ׀ מַלְכֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כַּֽאֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ בֵּית אַחְאָב כִּי בַּת-אַחְאָב הָיְתָה לּוֹ אִשָּׁה וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָֽה׃
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD.
וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּבֵית אַחְאָב כִּי-הֵמָּה הָֽיוּ-לוֹ יֽוֹעֲצִים אַֽחֲרֵי מוֹת אָבִיו לְמַשְׁחִית לֽוֹ׃

And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
וַיַּעַשׂ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה אֲמַצְיָהוּ אָבִֽיו׃

And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the LORD. And the people did yet corruptly.
בֶּן-עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה אָחָז בְּמָלְכוֹ וְשֵׁשׁ-עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וְלֹֽא-עָשָׂה הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּדָוִיד אָבִֽיו׃
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father:
וַיַּעַשׂ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה דָּוִיד אָבִֽיו׃
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father had done.
כִּֽי-מָעֲלוּ אֲבֹתֵינוּ וְעָשׂוּ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָֽה-אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַיַּֽעַזְבֻהוּ וַיַּסֵּבּוּ פְנֵיהֶם מִמִּשְׁכַּן יְהוָה וַיִּתְּנוּ-עֹֽרֶף׃
For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.
וַֽיְהִי קֶצֶף יְהוָה עַל-יְהוּדָה וִירֽוּשָׁלִָם וַיִּתְּנֵם (לזועה) לְזַֽעֲוָה לְשַׁמָּה וְלִשְׁרֵקָה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם רֹאִים בְּעֵֽינֵיכֶֽם׃
Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
וַיִּישַׁר הַדָּבָר בְּעֵינֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וּבְעֵינֵי כָּל-הַקָּהָֽל׃
And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
וַיִּוָּעַץ עִם-שָׂרָיו וְגִבֹּרָיו לִסְתּוֹם אֶת-מֵימֵי הָֽעֲיָנוֹת אֲשֶׁר מִחוּץ לָעִיר וַֽיַּעְזְרֽוּהוּ׃
He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help him.
וְרַבִּים מְבִיאִים מִנְחָה לַֽיהוָה לִירוּשָׁלִַם וּמִגְדָּנוֹת לִֽיחִזְקִיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ יְהוּדָה וַיִּנַּשֵּׂא לְעֵינֵי כָל-הַגּוֹיִם מֵאַֽחֲרֵי-כֵֽן׃
And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.
וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כְּתֽוֹעֲבוֹת הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר הוֹרִישׁ יְהוָה מִפְּנֵי בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
וְהוּא הֶֽעֱבִיר אֶת-בָּנָיו בָּאֵשׁ בְּגֵי בֶן-הִנֹּם וְעוֹנֵן וְנִחֵשׁ וְֽכִשֵּׁף וְעָשָׂה אוֹב וְיִדְּעוֹנִי הִרְבָּה לַֽעֲשׂוֹת הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה לְהַכְעִיסֽוֹ׃
And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה כַּֽאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה מְנַשֶּׁה אָבִיו וּלְכָל-הַפְּסִילִים אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה מְנַשֶּׁה אָבִיו זִבַּח אָמוֹן וַיַּֽעַבְדֵֽם׃
But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
וַיַּעַשׂ הַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּדַרְכֵי דָּוִיד אָבִיו וְלֹא-סָר יָמִין וּשְׂמֹֽאול׃
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
הִנְנִי אֹֽסִפְךָ אֶל-אֲבֹתֶיךָ וְנֶֽאֱסַפְתָּ אֶל-קִבְרוֹתֶיךָ בְּשָׁלוֹם וְלֹֽא-תִרְאֶינָה עֵינֶיךָ בְּכֹל הָֽרָעָה אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי מֵבִיא עַל-הַמָּקוֹם הַזֶּה וְעַל-יֹֽשְׁבָיו וַיָּשִׁיבוּ אֶת-הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּבָֽר׃
Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again.
בֶּן-עֶשְׂרִים וְחָמֵשׁ שָׁנָה יְהֽוֹיָקִים בְּמָלְכוֹ וְאַחַת עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה מָלַךְ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָֽיו׃
Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
בֶּן-שְׁמוֹנֶה שָׁנִים יְהֽוֹיָכִין בְּמָלְכוֹ וּשְׁלֹשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים וַֽעֲשֶׂרֶת יָמִים מָלַךְ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָם וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָֽה׃
Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
וַיַּעַשׂ הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו לֹא נִכְנַע מִלִּפְנֵי יִרְמְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא מִפִּי יְהוָֽה׃
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD.
וְרַבִּים מֵהַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְרָאשֵׁי הָֽאָבוֹת הַזְּקֵנִים אֲשֶׁר רָאוּ אֶת-הַבַּיִת הָֽרִאשׁוֹן בְּיָסְדוֹ זֶה הַבַּיִת בְּעֵינֵיהֶם בֹּכִים בְּקוֹל גָּדוֹל וְרַבִּים בִּתְרוּעָה בְשִׂמְחָה לְהָרִים קֽוֹל׃
But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation laid of this house was before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
וְעַתָּה כִּמְעַט-רֶגַע הָֽיְתָה תְחִנָּה מֵאֵת׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ לְהַשְׁאִיר לָנוּ פְּלֵיטָה וְלָֽתֶת-לָנוּ יָתֵד בִּמְקוֹם קָדְשׁוֹ לְהָאִיר עֵינֵינוּ אֱלֹהֵינוּ וּלְתִתֵּנוּ מִֽחְיָה מְעַט בְּעַבְדֻתֵֽנוּ׃
And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
תְּהִי נָא אָזְנְךָֽ-קַשֶּׁבֶת וְֽעֵינֶיךָ פְתֻוּחוֹת לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶל-תְּפִלַּת עַבְדְּךָ אֲשֶׁר אָֽנֹכִי מִתְפַּלֵּל לְפָנֶיךָ הַיּוֹם יוֹמָם וָלַיְלָה עַל-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עֲבָדֶיךָ וּמִתְוַדֶּה עַל-חַטֹּאות בְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר חָטָאנוּ לָךְ וַֽאֲנִי וּבֵית-אָבִי חָטָֽאנוּ׃
Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.
וָאֵֽצְאָה בְשַֽׁעַר-הַגַּיא לַיְלָה וְאֶל-פְּנֵי עֵין הַתַּנִּין וְאֶל-שַׁעַר הָֽאַשְׁפֹּת וָֽאֱהִי שֹׂבֵר בְּחוֹמֹת יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם אֲשֶׁר-(המפרוצים) הֵם פְּרוּצִים וּשְׁעָרֶיהָ אֻכְּלוּ בָאֵֽשׁ׃
And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.
וָאֶֽעֱבֹר אֶל-שַׁעַר הָעַיִן וְאֶל-בְּרֵכַת הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאֵין-מָקוֹם לַבְּהֵמָה לַֽעֲבֹר תַּחְתָּֽי׃
Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.
וְאֵת שַׁעַר הָעַיִן הֶֽחֱזִיק שַׁלּוּן בֶּן-כָּל-חֹזֶה שַׂר פֶּלֶךְ הַמִּצְפָּה הוּא יִבְנֶנּוּ וִיטַֽלְלֶנּוּ (ויעמידו) וְיַעֲמִיד דַּלְתֹתָיו מַנְעֻלָיו וּבְרִיחָיו וְאֵת חוֹמַת בְּרֵכַת הַשֶּׁלַח לְגַן-הַמֶּלֶךְ וְעַד-הַֽמַּעֲלוֹת הַיּֽוֹרְדוֹת מֵעִיר דָּוִֽיד׃
But the gate of the fountain repaired Shallun the son of Col-hozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Siloah by the king's garden, and unto the stairs that go down from the city of David.
וַיְהִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר שָֽׁמְעוּ כָּל-אוֹיְבֵינוּ וַיִּֽרְאוּ כָּל-הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר סְבִֽיבֹתֵינוּ וַיִּפְּלוּ מְאֹד בְּעֵֽינֵיהֶם וַיֵּדְעוּ כִּי מֵאֵת אֱלֹהֵינוּ נֶֽעֶשְׂתָה הַמְּלָאכָה הַזֹּֽאת׃
And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
וַיִּפְתַּח עֶזְרָא הַסֵּפֶר לְעֵינֵי כָל-הָעָם כִּֽי-מֵעַל כָּל-הָעָם הָיָה וּכְפִתְחוֹ עָֽמְדוּ כָל-הָעָֽם׃
And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
וְעַל שַׁעַר הָעַיִן וְנֶגְדָּם עָלוּ עַֽל-מַעֲלוֹת עִיר דָּוִיד בַּֽמַּעֲלֶה לַֽחוֹמָה מֵעַל לְבֵית דָּוִיד וְעַד שַׁעַר הַמַּיִם מִזְרָֽח׃
And at the fountain gate, which was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.
כִּֽי-יֵצֵא דְבַר-הַמַּלְכָּה עַל-כָּל-הַנָּשִׁים לְהַבְזוֹת בַּעְלֵיהֶן בְּעֵֽינֵיהֶן בְּאָמְרָם הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ אָמַר לְהָבִיא אֶת-וַשְׁתִּי הַמַּלְכָּה לְפָנָיו וְלֹא-בָֽאָה׃
For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
וַיִּיטַב הַדָּבָר בְּעֵינֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהַשָּׂרִים וַיַּעַשׂ הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּדְבַר מְמוּכָֽן׃
And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
וְהַֽנַּעֲרָה אֲשֶׁר תִּיטַב בְּעֵינֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ תִּמְלֹךְ תַּחַת וַשְׁתִּי וַיִּיטַב הַדָּבָר בְּעֵינֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיַּעַשׂ כֵּֽן׃
And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.
וַתִּיטַב הַנַּֽעֲרָה בְעֵינָיו וַתִּשָּׂא חֶסֶד לְפָנָיו וַיְבַהֵל אֶת-תַּמְרוּקֶיהָ וְאֶת-מָֽנוֹתֶהָ לָתֵת לָהּ וְאֵת שֶׁבַע הַנְּעָרוֹת הָֽרְאֻיוֹת לָֽתֶת-לָהּ מִבֵּית הַמֶּלֶךְ וַיְשַׁנֶּהָ וְאֶת-נַֽעֲרוֹתֶיהָ לְטוֹב בֵּית הַנָּשִֽׁים׃
And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.
וּבְהַגִּיעַ תֹּר-אֶסְתֵּר בַּת-אֲבִיחַיִל דֹּד מָרְדֳּכַי אֲשֶׁר לָקַֽח-לוֹ לְבַת לָבוֹא אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ לֹא בִקְשָׁה דָּבָר כִּי אִם אֶת-אֲשֶׁר יֹאמַר הֵגַי סְרִיס-הַמֶּלֶךְ שֹׁמֵר הַנָּשִׁים וַתְּהִי אֶסְתֵּר נֹשֵׂאת חֵן בְּעֵינֵי כָּל-רֹאֶֽיהָ׃
Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
וַיִּבֶז בְּעֵינָיו לִשְׁלֹח יָד בְּמָרְדֳּכַי לְבַדּוֹ כִּֽי-הִגִּידוּ לוֹ אֶת-עַם מָרְדֳּכָי וַיְבַקֵּשׁ הָמָן לְהַשְׁמִיד אֶת-כָּל-הַיְּהוּדִים אֲשֶׁר בְּכָל-מַלְכוּת אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ עַם מָרְדֳּכָֽי׃
And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ לְהָמָן הַכֶּסֶף נָתוּן לָךְ וְהָעָם לַֽעֲשׂוֹת בּוֹ כַּטּוֹב בְּעֵינֶֽיךָ׃
And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.
וַיְהִי כִרְאוֹת הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-אֶסְתֵּר הַמַּלְכָּה עֹמֶדֶת בֶּֽחָצֵר נָֽשְׂאָה חֵן בְּעֵינָיו וַיּוֹשֶׁט הַמֶּלֶךְ לְאֶסְתֵּר אֶת-שַׁרְבִיט הַזָּהָב אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדוֹ וַתִּקְרַב אֶסְתֵּר וַתִּגַּע בְּרֹאשׁ הַשַּׁרְבִֽיט׃
And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
אִם-מָצָאתִי חֵן בְּעֵינֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאִם-עַל-הַמֶּלֶךְ טוֹב לָתֵת אֶת-שְׁאֵלָתִי וְלַֽעֲשׂוֹת אֶת-בַּקָּֽשָׁתִי יָבוֹא הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהָמָן אֶל-הַמִּשְׁתֶּה אֲשֶׁר אֶֽעֱשֶׂה לָהֶם וּמָחָר אֶֽעֱשֶׂה כִּדְבַר הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.
וַתַּעַן אֶסְתֵּר הַמַּלְכָּה וַתֹּאמַר אִם-מָצָאתִי חֵן בְּעֵינֶיךָ הַמֶּלֶךְ וְאִם-עַל-הַמֶּלֶךְ טוֹב תִּנָּֽתֶן-לִי נַפְשִׁי בִּשְׁאֵלָתִי וְעַמִּי בְּבַקָּֽשָׁתִֽי׃
Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
וַתֹּאמֶר אִם-עַל-הַמֶּלֶךְ טוֹב וְאִם-מָצָאתִי חֵן לְפָנָיו וְכָשֵׁר הַדָּבָר לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ וְטוֹבָה אֲנִי בְּעֵינָיו יִכָּתֵב לְהָשִׁיב אֶת-הַסְּפָרִים מַֽחֲשֶׁבֶת הָמָן בֶּֽן-הַמְּדָתָא הָֽאֲגָגִי אֲשֶׁר כָּתַב לְאַבֵּד אֶת-הַיְּהוּדִים אֲשֶׁר בְּכָל-מְדִינוֹת הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king's provinces:
וְאַתֶּם כִּתְבוּ עַל-הַיְּהוּדִים כַּטּוֹב בְּעֵֽינֵיכֶם בְּשֵׁם הַמֶּלֶךְ וְחִתְמוּ בְּטַבַּעַת הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּֽי-כְתָב אֲשֶׁר-נִכְתָּב בְּשֵׁם-הַמֶּלֶךְ וְנַחְתּוֹם בְּטַבַּעַת הַמֶּלֶךְ אֵין לְהָשִֽׁיב׃
Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.
וַיִּשְׂאוּ אֶת-עֵֽינֵיהֶם מֵֽרָחוֹק וְלֹא הִכִּירֻהוּ וַיִּשְׂאוּ קוֹלָם וַיִּבְכּוּ וַֽיִּקְרְעוּ אִישׁ מְעִלוֹ וַיִּזְרְקוּ עָפָר עַל-רָֽאשֵׁיהֶם הַשָּׁמָֽיְמָה׃
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
כִּי לֹא סָגַר דַּלְתֵי בִטְנִי וַיַּסְתֵּר עָמָל מֵֽעֵינָֽי׃
Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
יַֽעֲמֹד׀ וְֽלֹא-אַכִּיר מַרְאֵהוּ תְּמוּנָה לְנֶגֶד עֵינָי דְּמָמָה וָקוֹל אֶשְׁמָֽע׃
It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
זְכֹר כִּי-רוּחַ חַיָּי לֹֽא-תָשׁוּב עֵינִי לִרְאוֹת טֽוֹב׃
O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.
לֹֽא-תְשׁוּרֵנִי עֵין רֹאִי עֵינֶיךָ בִּי וְאֵינֶֽנִּי׃
The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.
הַעֵינֵי בָשָׂר לָךְ אִם-כִּרְאוֹת אֱנוֹשׁ תִּרְאֶֽה׃
Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
וְלָמָּה מֵרֶחֶם הֹצֵאתָנִי אֶגְוַע וְעַיִן לֹא-תִרְאֵֽנִי׃
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
וַתֹּאמֶר זַךְ לִקְחִי וּבַר הָיִיתִי בְעֵינֶֽיךָ׃
For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
וְעֵינֵי רְשָׁעִים תִּכְלֶינָה וּמָנוֹס אָבַד מִנְהֶם וְתִקְוָתָם מַֽפַּח-נָֽפֶשׁ׃
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
הֶן-כֹּל רָאֲתָה עֵינִי שָֽׁמְעָה אָזְנִי וַתָּבֶן לָֽהּ׃
Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.
אַף-עַל-זֶה פָּקַחְתָּ עֵינֶךָ וְאֹתִי תָבִיא בְמִשְׁפָּט עִמָּֽךְ׃
And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
מַה-יִּקָּחֲךָ לִבֶּךָ וּֽמַה-יִּרְזְמוּן עֵינֶֽיךָ׃
Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
הֵן (בקדשו) בִּקְדֹשָׁיו לֹא יַאֲמִין וְשָׁמַיִם לֹא-זַכּוּ בְעֵינָֽיו׃
Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
אַפּוֹ טָרַף׀ וַֽיִּשְׂטְמֵנִי חָרַק עָלַי בְּשִׁנָּיו צָרִי׀ יִלְטֹשׁ עֵינָיו לִֽי׃
He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
מְלִיצַי רֵעָי אֶל-אֱלוֹהַ דָּלְפָה עֵינִֽי׃
My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
אִם-לֹא הֲתֻלִים עִמָּדִי וּבְהַמְּרוֹתָם תָּלַן עֵינִֽי׃
Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
לְחֵלֶק יַגִּיד רֵעִים וְעֵינֵי בָנָיו תִּכְלֶֽנָה׃
He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
וַתֵּכַהּ מִכַּעַשׂ עֵינִי וִֽיצֻרַי כַּצֵּל כֻּלָּֽם׃
Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
מַדּוּעַ נֶחְשַׁבְנוּ כַבְּהֵמָה נִטְמִינוּ בְּעֵינֵיכֶֽם׃
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
גָּרֵי בֵיתִי וְאַמְהֹתַי לְזָר תַּחְשְׁבֻנִי נָכְרִי הָיִיתִי בְעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃
They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי׀ אֶֽחֱזֶה-לִּי וְעֵינַי רָאוּ וְלֹא-זָר כָּלוּ כִלְיֹתַי בְּחֵקִֽי׃
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
עַיִן שְׁזָפַתּוּ וְלֹא תוֹסִיף וְלֹא-עוֹד תְּשׁוּרֶנּוּ מְקוֹמֽוֹ׃
The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
זַרְעָם נָכוֹן לִפְנֵיהֶם עִמָּם וְצֶאֱצָאֵיהֶם לְעֵינֵיהֶֽם׃
Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
יִרְאוּ (עינו) עֵינָיו כִּידוֹ וּמֵחֲמַת שַׁדַּי יִשְׁתֶּֽה׃
His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
כִּֽי-הִשְׁפִּילוּ וַתֹּאמֶר גֵּוָה וְשַׁח עֵינַיִם יוֹשִֽׁעַ׃
When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
וְעֵין נֹאֵף׀ שָׁמְרָֽה נֶשֶׁף לֵאמֹר לֹא-תְשׁוּרֵנִי עָיִן וְסֵתֶר פָּנִים יָשִֽׂים׃
The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
יִתֶּן-לוֹ לָבֶטַח וְיִשָּׁעֵן וְעֵינֵיהוּ עַל-דַּרְכֵיהֶֽם׃
Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
הֵן עַד-יָרֵחַ וְלֹא יַאֲהִיל וְכוֹכָבִים לֹא-זַכּוּ בְעֵינָֽיו׃
Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
עָשִׁיר יִשְׁכַּב וְלֹא יֵאָסֵף עֵינָיו פָּקַח וְאֵינֶֽנּוּ׃
The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
נָתִיב לֹֽא-יְדָעוֹ עָיִט וְלֹא שְׁזָפַתּוּ עֵין אַיָּֽה׃
There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:
בַּצּוּרוֹת יְאֹרִים בִּקֵּעַ וְכָל-יְקָר רָאֲתָה עֵינֽוֹ׃
He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
וְֽנֶעֶלְמָה מֵעֵינֵי כָל-חָי וּמֵעוֹף הַשָּׁמַיִם נִסְתָּֽרָה׃
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
כִּי אֹזֶן שָׁמְעָה וַֽתְּאַשְּׁרֵנִי וְעַיִן רָאֲתָה וַתְּעִידֵֽנִי׃
When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
עֵינַיִם הָיִיתִי לַֽעִוֵּר וְרַגְלַיִם לַפִּסֵּחַ אָֽנִי׃
I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
בְּרִית כָּרַתִּי לְעֵינָי וּמָה אֶתְבּוֹנֵן עַל-בְּתוּלָֽה׃
I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
אִם תִּטֶּה אַשֻּׁרִי מִנִּי הַדָּרֶךְ וְאַחַר עֵינַי הָלַךְ לִבִּי וּבְכַפַּי דָּבַק מֻאֽוּם׃
If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
אִם-אֶמְנַע מֵחֵפֶץ דַּלִּים וְעֵינֵי אַלְמָנָה אֲכַלֶּֽה׃
If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
וַֽיִּשְׁבְּתוּ שְׁלֹשֶׁת הָאֲנָשִׁים הָאֵלֶּה מֵעֲנוֹת אֶת-אִיּוֹב כִּי הוּא צַדִּיק בְּעֵינָֽיו׃
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
כִּי-עֵינָיו עַל-דַּרְכֵי-אִישׁ וְֽכָל-צְעָדָיו יִרְאֶֽה׃
For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
לֹֽא-יִגְרַע מִצַּדִּיק עֵינָיו וְאֶת-מְלָכִים לַכִּסֵּא וַיֹּשִׁיבֵם לָנֶצַח וַיִּגְבָּֽהוּ׃
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
מִשָּׁם חָֽפַר-אֹכֶל לְמֵרָחוֹק עֵינָיו יַבִּֽיטוּ׃
From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
בְּעֵינָיו יִקָּחֶנּוּ בְּמֽוֹקְשִׁים יִנְקָב-אָֽף׃
He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
עֲֽטִישֹׁתָיו תָּהֶל אוֹר וְעֵינָיו כְּעַפְעַפֵּי-שָֽׁחַר׃
By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
לְשֵֽׁמַע-אֹזֶן שְׁמַעְתִּיךָ וְעַתָּה עֵינִי רָאָֽתְךָ׃
I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
