John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Esther 9:26

Wherefore they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur ,.... The lot; because of the lots cast by Haman; see Esther 3:7 , therefore for all the words of this letter ; in obedience to what Mordecai wrote in his letter to the Jews, and because of the things contained in it: and of that which they had seen concerning this matter ; with their own eyes, in the several provinces where their enemies rose up to assault them, but were destroyed by them: and what had come unto them... read more

The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such that joined themselves unto them ,.... Who became proselytes to their religion; that is, they appointed the above two days as festivals, and engaged for themselves, for their children, and all proselytes, to observe them as such; and one of their canons F19 Lebush & Schulchan, ib. (par. 1.) c. 689. sect. 1. runs thus,"all are obliged to read the Megillah (the book of Esther, which they always read on... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Esther 9:28

And that these days should be remembered, and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city ,.... And accordingly these days are commemorated by them now, and by all their families, and all in their families capable of it; and these words, "every province", and "every city", are used, as Aben Ezra observes, lest a man should think he was not bound to keep this feast where there were no Jews; for, let him be where he may, he is obliged to keep it: and that... read more

The Jews of the villages - They joined that to the preceding day, and made it a day of festivity, and of sending portions to each other; that is, the rich sent portions of the sacrifices slain on this occasion to the poor, that they also might be enabled to make the day a day of festivity; that as the sorrow was general, so also might the joy be. It is worthy of remark that the ancient Itala or Ante-hieronymian version of this book omits the whole of these nineteen verses. Query,... read more

Mordecai wrote these things - It has been supposed that thus far that part of the book of Esther, which was written by Mordecai extends: what follows to the end, was probably added either by Ezra, or the men of the Great Synagogue; though what is said here may refer only to the letters sent by Mordecai to the Jews of the provinces. From this to the end of the chapter is nothing else than a recapitulation of the chief heads of the preceding history, and an account of the appointment of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Esther 9:23

The Jews undertook to do as they had begun - They had already kept the fifteenth day, and some of them in the country the fourteenth also, as a day of rejoicing: Mordecai wrote to them to bind themselves and their successors, and all their proselytes, to celebrate this as an annual feast throughout all their generations; and this they undertook to do. And it has been observed among them, in all places of their dispersion, from that day to the present time, without any... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Esther 9:26

They called these days Purim - That is from pari , the lot; because, as we have seen, Haman cast lots to find what month, and what day of the month, would be the most favorable for the accomplishment of his bloody designs against the Jews. See on Esther 3:7 ; (note). And of that which they had seen - The first letter to which this second refers, must be that sent by Mordecai himself. See Esther 9:20 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Esther 9:17-23

FESTIVAL HELD , AND FEAST OF PURIM INSTITUTED ( Esther 9:17-32 ). A natural instinct led the Jews, so soon as their triumph was accomplished, to indulge themselves in a day of rest and rejoicing ( Esther 9:17 ). After toil there is need of repose; and escape from a great danger is followed, almost of necessity, by "gladness." The writer of the Book of Esther, practising his usual reticence, says nothing of the character of the "gladness;" but we can scarcely be wrong in... read more
