Ester 8:16 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 8:16

And the Jews had light
Prosperity, as opposed to the darkness of adversity in which they had been, see ( Isaiah 8:22 Isaiah 9:1 Isaiah 8:2 ) , or lightsomeness and cheerfulness of spirit, as explained by the two next words:

and gladness and joy;
at the good news of their deliverance, so unexpected by them; thus light is explained by gladness, ( Psalms 97:11 )

and honour:
among men; from their neighbours, who before were held in contempt, as a people doomed to destruction.

Ester 8:16 In-Context

14 Partiram, pois, os correios montados em ginetes que se usavam no serviço real, apressados e impelidos pela ordem do rei; e foi proclamado o decreto em Susã, a capital.
15 Então Mardoqueu saiu da presença do rei, vestido de um traje real azul celeste e branco, trazendo uma grande coroa de ouro, e um manto de linho fino e de púrpura, e a cidade de Susã exultou e se alegrou.
16 E para os judeus houve luz e alegria, gozo e honra.
17 Também em toda a província, e em toda cidade, aonde chegava a ordem do rei ao seu decreto, havia entre os judeus alegria e gozo, banquetes e festas; e muitos, dentre os povos da terra, se fizeram judeus, pois o medo dos judeus tinha caído sobre eles.
