Esther 4:11 · 12 of 25intermediate
Theophilus[DRAFT] All the king's servants know: any man or woman who goes to the king in the inner court without being called is put to death — unless he holds out the golden sceptre.Esther 4:11
Read aloud — modern Israeli pronunciation, not reconstructed Biblical. Good for hearing the consonants and the shape of the word; it ignores the cantillation.
KJVAll the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
