The Pulpit Commentary - Esther 9:25

But when Esther came before the king . Rather, "when the matter came before the king." It is impossible to supply a proper name which has not occurred once in the last eleven verses. We must suppose the feminine suffix attached to the verb bo, "came," to be superfluous, as it is in Ezekiel 33:33 . His wicked device should return upon his own head . Compare Psalms 7:16 . The device of Haman to massacre all the Jews turned to the destruction of the Jews' chief enemies, and of Haman... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Esther 9:26

Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur . They took the Persian word, that is, and gave it a Hebrew plural, either because the Persian method of casting involved the use of several lots, or because Haman cast "Pur" several times ( Esther 3:7 ). For all the words of this letter . i.e. "on account of what was said in Mordecai's letter to them" ( Esther 9:20 ). And of that which they had seen , etc. "And on account of what they had themselves seen anti... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Esther 9:27-28

A memorial feast. "And the Jews ordained and took upon them … that these days should be remembered." I. The memorial feast was in recognition of a great DELIVERANCE . The deliverance effected by Mordecai and Esther for the Jews, hints at that effected for us by Jesus. There are points of great similarity. The Lord's Supper is not only a feast of love, but in memory of our great deliverance from sin and death. II. The memorial was ordained READILY . Gratitude led to this. A... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Esther 9:28

That these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family , etc. The universal adoption of the Purina feast by the Jewish nation, originating as it did at Susa, among the Persian Jews, never a very important part of the nation, is a curious fact, and is certainly not satisfactorily accounted for by the beauty and popularity of the Book of Esther (Ewald), nor by the dignity and power of Mordecai. Mordecai had no ecclesiastical authority; and it might have been... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Esther 9:28

A holy memorial. Memory is a Divine gift, to be used for the glory of the Giver. Every individual has his memories; for his past life has been marked by events important to himself, and worthy of being now and again recalled to awaken gratitude, humility, confidence. Every family has its memories; and domestic anniversaries may be observed with advantage, especially to the young. Every nation has its memories—of great reigns, great deliverances, great conquests, etc. Every religion has its... read more

Esther 9:17-18. On the thirteenth day of the month Adar This is to be referred to the foregoing words, and the meaning is, the slaughter was made in the provinces on the thirteenth day of this month, when they had reason to expect they should have been destroyed themselves. On the fifteenth day of the same they rested That is, the Jews in the city of Shushan made the fifteenth day a festival, because they had liberty to avenge themselves of their enemies, not only on the thirteenth, but... read more
