This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
7 So the king and Haman went in to drink with the queen. 2 The king said to Ester at the banquet on the second day, “What’s it, queen Ester? What’s your request? What’s your petition? It’ll be done for you, up to half of my kingdom.”
3 She replied, “If I’ve found favour in the sight of the king, let my life be granted as my petition, and my people as my request. 4 Because both I and my people are sold for destruction, pillage, and genocide. If both we and our children were sold for male and female slaves, I wouldn’t have bothered you, for this[fn] isn’t worthy of the king’s palace.”
5 The king said, “Who’s dared to do this thing?”
6 Ester said, “The enemy is Haman, this wicked man!”
Then Haman was terrified in the presence of the king and the queen. 7 The king rose up from the banquet to go into the garden. Haman began to beg the queen for mercy, for he saw that he was in serious trouble. 8 The king returned from the garden; and Haman had fallen on the couch, begging the queen for mercy. The king said, “Will you even assault my wife in my house?”
And when Haman heard it, his expression changed. 9 And Bigtan, one of the chamberlains, said to the king, “Listen, Haman has also prepared a gallows for Mordekai, who spoke about the king, and a fifty cubit high gallows has been set up on Haman’s property.”
The king said, “Let him be[fn] hanged on it!” 10 So Haman was hanged on the gallows that’d been prepared for Mordekai. Then the king’s anger was abated.
