Esther 4:5 in Context — Esther 4
3 Dans chaque province, partout où arrivaient l’ordre du roi et son édit, il y eut une grande désolation parmi les Juifs; ils jeûnaient, pleuraient et se lamentaient, et beaucoup se couchaient sur le sac et la cendre.
4 Les servantes d’Esther et ses eunuques vinrent lui annoncer cela, et la reine fut très effrayée. Elle envoya des vêtements à Mardochée pour le couvrir et lui faire ôter son sac, mais il ne les accepta pas.
5 Alors Esther appela Hathac, l’un des eunuques que le roi avait placés auprès d’elle, et elle le chargea d’aller demander à Mardochée ce que c’était et d’où cela venait.
6 Hathac se rendit vers Mardochée sur la place de la ville, devant la porte du roi.
7 Et Mardochée lui raconta tout ce qui lui était arrivé, et lui indiqua la somme d’argent qu’Haman avait promis de livrer au trésor du roi en retour du massacre des Juifs.
