Esther 9:20 - Exposition

Mordecai wrote these things . Mordecai seems, in the first instance, to have written to the provincial Jews, suggesting to them the future observance of two days of Purim instead of one, and explaining the grounds of his proposition, but without venturing to issue any order. When he found his proposition well received ( Esther 9:23 , Esther 9:27 ) he sent out a second letter, " with all authority" ( Esther 9:29 ), enjoining the observance.
