Rotherham(i)
1 When, Mordecai, came to know all that had been done, Mordecai rent his garments, and put on sackcloth, and ashes,––and went forth into the midst of the city, and cried out with an outcry loud and bitter;
2 and went in as far as before the gate of the king,––for, none, might enter into the gate of the king, clothed with sackcloth.
3 And, throughout every province, whithersoever the word of the king and his edict came, was great mourning to the Jews, and fasting and weeping, and lamentation,––sackcloth and ashes, were spread out for many.
4 So the maidens of Esther and her eunuchs went in and told her, and the queen writhed in great anguish,––and sent garments to clothe Mordecai, and to remove his sackcloth from off him, but he accepted them not.
