Ester 8:16

Listen to Ester 8:16
16 Para los judíos, aquel fue un tiempo de luz y de alegría, júbilo y honor.

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 mensajeros, siguiendo las órdenes del rey, salieron de inmediato montando veloces corceles. El edicto se publicó también en la ciudadela de Susa.
15 Mardoqueo salió de la presencia del rey vistiendo ropas reales de azul y blanco, una gran corona de oro y un manto de lino fino color púrpura. La ciudad de Susa estalló en gritos de alegría.
16 Para los judíos, aquel fue un tiempo de luz y de alegría, júbilo y honor.
17 En cada provincia y ciudad adonde llegaban el edicto y la orden del rey había alegría y regocijo entre los judíos, con banquetes y festejos. Y muchas personas de otros pueblos se hicieron judíos por miedo a ellos.
