4:1

Esther 4:2

4:3

And came even before the king's gate: for none [might] enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

And came {H935} even before {H6440} the king's {H4428} gate {H8179}: for none might enter {H935} into the king's {H4428} gate {H8179} clothed {H3830} with sackcloth {H8242}.

He stopped before entering the King's Gate, since no one was allowed to go inside the King's Gate wearing sackcloth.

But he went only as far as the king’s gate, because the law prohibited anyone wearing sackcloth from entering that gate.

and he came even before the king’s gate: for none might enter within the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.
