Ester 9:29 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 9:29

Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai
the Jew, wrote with all authority
Strongly pressing the observance of this festival; before, Mordecai only recommended it, but now the queen gave a sanction to it, and laid her obligation on the Jews to observe it; perhaps some of the Jews were backward to it, or neglected to observe it, and therefore Esther and Mordecai joined in a letter to them, to press them to it; the Jewish chronologer F24 says, this was written the year following; the former Targum is, they wrote this whole volume, and the strength of the miracle, or set the miraculous deliverance in the strongest light, with this view,

to confirm this second letter of Purim;
that it might have its weight and influence upon them, to engage them to keep it, as the latter Targum adds; that when it was an intercalary year, they might not read the Megillah (or book of Esther) in the first Adar, but in the second Adar.

27 establecieron y tomaron los judĂ­os sobre sĂ­, y sobre su simiente, y sobre todos los allegados a ellos, y no serĂĄ traspasado, el celebrar estos dos dĂ­as segĂșn estĂĄ escrito en orden a ellos, y conforme a su tiempo cada año;
28 y que estos dos dĂ­as serĂ­an en memoria, y celebrados en todas las naciones, y familias, y provincias, y ciudades. Estos dĂ­as de Purim no pasarĂĄn de entre los judĂ­os, y la memoria de ellos no cesarĂĄ de su simiente.
29 Y la reina Ester hija de Abihail, y Mardoqueo judĂ­o, escribieron con toda autoridad, para confirmar esta segunda carta de Purim.
30 Y enviĂł Mardoqueo cartas a todos los judĂ­os, a las ciento veintisiete provincias del rey Asuero, con palabras de paz y de verdad,
31 para confirmar estos dĂ­as del Purim en sus tiempos señalados , segĂșn les habĂ­a constituĂ­do Mardoqueo judĂ­o y la reina Ester, y como habĂ­an ellos tomado sobre sĂ­ y sobre su simiente las palabras de los ayunos y de su clamor.
