"ought to be clothed with the king’s apparel, and be set upon the horse that the king rides, and receive the royal crown upon his head. "
— Esther 6:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:”
“let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and on the head of which a crown royal is set: ”
“let royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on the head of which a crown royal is set.”
“let them bring royal attire which the king himself has worn and a horse on which the king himself has ridden– one bearing the royal insignia!”
“Ought to be clothed with the king's apparel, and to be set upon the horse that the king rideth upon, and to have the royal crown upon his head,”
“Let them take the robes which the king generally puts on, and the horse on which the king goes, and the crown which is on his head:”
“Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:”
The servants answered, “Haman is standing in the atrium.” And the king said, “Let him enter.”
And when he had entered, he said to him, “What ought to be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor?” But Haman, thinking in his heart and supposing that the king would honor no one else but himself,
answered, “The man whom the king wishes to honor,
ought to be clothed with the king’s apparel, and be set upon the horse that the king rides, and receive the royal crown upon his head.
And let the first of the king’s rulers and sovereigns hold his horse, and, as they advance through the street of the city, proclaim before him and say, ‘Thus shall he be honored, whom the king decides to honor.’ ”
And the king said to him, “Hurry, take the robe and the horse, and do as you have said to Mordecai the Jew, who sits in front of the gate of the palace. Be careful not to omit any of those things which you have mentioned.”
And so Haman took the robe and the horse, and arraying Mordecai in the street of the city, and setting him on the horse, he went before him and cried out, “He is worthy of this honor, whom the king has decided to honor.”
