And she sent for Hathach the eunuch, whom the king had appointed to minister to her, and she instructed him to go to Mordecai and to discern from him why he was doing this.
And departing, Hathach went to Mordecai, who was standing in the street of the city, in front of the palace entrance.
He told him everything that had happened, how Haman had promised to transfer silver into the king’s treasury for the death of the Jews.
Also, he gave him a copy of the edict that was hanging up in Susa, so that he would show it to the queen and advise her to go in to the king and beg him on behalf of her people.
And Hathach returned and informed Esther of all that Mordecai had said.
She answered him, and ordered him say to Mordecai:
“All the servants of the king and all the provinces that are under his realm understand that anyone, whether man or woman, who enters the king’s inner court, who has not been summoned, is immediately to be put to death without any delay, unless the king should happen to extend the golden scepter to him, as a sign of clemency, so that he will be able to live. How then can I go in to the king, when, for thirty days now, I have not been called to him?”
