Listen to Ester 8:16
16 Para os judeus foi uma ocasião de felicidade, alegria, júbilo e honra.

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 Os mensageiros, montando cavalos das estrebarias do rei, saíram a galope, por causa da ordem do rei. O decreto também foi publicado na cidadela de Susã.
15 Mardoqueu saiu da presença do rei usando vestes reais em azul e branco, uma grande coroa de ouro e um manto púrpura de linho fino. E a cidadela de Susã exultava de alegria.
16 Para os judeus foi uma ocasião de felicidade, alegria, júbilo e honra.
17 Em cada província e em cada cidade, onde quer que chegasse o decreto do rei, havia alegria e júbilo entre os judeus, com banquetes e festas. Muitos que pertenciam a outros povos do reino tornaram-se judeus, porque o temor dos judeus tinha se apoderado deles.
