Ester 9:23 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 9:23

And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as
Mordecai had written unto them.
] They engaged to keep these two days as festivals annually, as they had at this time done; not in a religious but in a civil way, not as parts of religious worship, and as additions to and innovations of the law, but by way of commemoration of a civil benefit which they had received; and yet we find in later times that this was scrupled by some as an innovation; for we are told F18 that there were eighty five elders, and more than thirty of them prophets, who were distressed about this matter, fearing it was an innovation.

Ester 9:23 In-Context

21 ordenando-lhes que guardassem o dia catorze do mês de adar e o dia quinze do mesmo, todos os anos,
22 como os dias em que os judeus tiveram repouso dos seus inimigos, e o mês em que se lhes mudou a tristeza em alegria, e o pranto em dia de festa, a fim de que os fizessem dias de banquetes e de alegria, e de mandarem porções escolhidas uns aos outros, e dádivas aos pobres.
23 E os judeus se comprometeram a fazer como já tinham começado, e como Mardoqueu lhes tinha escrito;
24 porque Hamã, filho de Hamedata, o agagita, o inimigo de todos os judeus, tinha intentado destruir os judeus, e tinha lançado Pur, isto é, a sorte, para os assolar e destruir;
25 mas quando isto veio perante o rei, ordenou ele por cartas que o mau intento que Hamã formara contra os judeus recaísse sobre a sua cabeça, e que ele e seus filhos fossem pendurados na forca.
