23 The Jews accepted what Mordecai had written to them—

Greek Esther 9:23 In-Context

21 He made it a rule that Jews keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of Adar as special days each and every year.

22 They are the days on which the Jews found rest from their enemies. The whole of Adar, the month in which sadness was turned into joy and mournful weeping into a holiday, was to be celebrated as a special time for weddings, for parties, and for sending gifts of food to friends and to the poor.

23 The Jews accepted what Mordecai had written to them—

24 how Haman, Hammedatha's son, the Macedonian, declared war on the Jews, how he made an edict and cast lots to destroy them,

25 and how he went to the king to have Mordecai impaled. But whatever evils Haman tried to bring upon the Jews turned back on him instead, and he and his sons ended up impaled.
