Esther 9:30 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 9:30

And he sent letters unto all the Jews
That is, Mordecai did, signed in the queen's name, and his own:

to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus;
among which was Judea, that was become a province, first of the Chaldean, now of the Persian empire, see ( Ezra 5:8 ) to whom also these letters were sent, directing and ordering the Jews there to observe these days, who were also concerned in the deliverance wrought:

with words of peace and truth
exhorting them to live in peace with one another, and their neighbours, and to constancy in the true religion; or wishing them all peace and prosperity in the most loving and sincere manner.

Esther 9:30 In-Context

28 and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Yehudim, nor the memory of them perish from their seed.

29 Then Ester the queen, the daughter of Avichayil, and Mordekhai the Yehudi, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.

30 He sent letters to all the Yehudim, to the hundred twenty-seven provinces of the kingdom of Achashverosh, [with] words of shalom and truth,

31 to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, according as Mordekhai the Yehudi and Ester the queen had enjoined them, and as they had ordained for themselves and for their seed, in the matter of the fastings and their cry.

32 The mitzvah of Ester confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
