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 Los correos, apresurados y apremiados por la orden del rey, salieron montados en los corceles reales; y el decreto fue promulgado en la fortaleza de Susa.
15 Entonces Mardoqueo salió de la presencia del rey en vestiduras reales de azul y blanco, con una gran corona de oro y un manto de lino fino y púrpura; y la ciudad de Susa dio vivas y se regocijó.
16 Para los judíos fue día de luz y alegría, de gozo y gloria.
17 En cada provincia, en cada ciudad y en todo lugar adonde llegaba el mandato del rey y su decreto había alegría y gozo para los judíos, banquete y día festivo. Y muchos de entre los pueblos de la tierra se hicieron judíos, porque había caído sobre ellos el temor de los judíos.
