Ester 3:15 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 3:15

The post went out, being hastened by the king's command
Both to set out and make as much dispatch as possible:

and the decree was given in Shushan the palace;
by the king, and with the advice of his courtiers:

and the king and Haman sat down to drink;
at a banquet which perhaps Haman had prepared, in gratitude to the king for what he had granted him, both being highly delighted with what had been done:

but the city Shushan was perplexed;
the court was agreed, but the city was divided, as the former Targum says, with the joy of strange nations, and the weeping of the people of Israel, there being many Jews in the city; with whom no doubt there were many in connection, through affinity or friendship, or commerce, that were concerned for them; or, however, were shocked at such a barbarous scheme; and which they knew not where it would end, and how far they themselves might be involved in it, when once a mob had such a power granted to them.

Ester 3:15 In-Context

13 Se enviaron comunicados a todas las provincias del imperio mediante mensajeros veloces, con orden de matar, masacrar y aniquilar a todos los judíos —jóvenes y ancianos, incluso las mujeres y los niños— en un solo día. El plan estaba programado para el 7 de marzo del año siguiente.
Las pertenencias de los judíos serían entregadas a los que los mataran.

14 Una copia del decreto debía emitirse como ley en cada provincia y proclamarse a todos los pueblos, a fin de que estuvieran preparados para cumplir con su deber el día señalado.

15 Por orden del rey, se despachó el decreto mediante mensajeros veloces, y también se proclamó en la fortaleza de Susa. Luego el rey y Amán se sentaron a beber, pero la ciudad de Susa entró en confusión.
