Mordochai Advanced to Haman's Position. Counter-Edict for the Preservation of Jews - Esther 8 The king bestowed the house of Haman on Esther, and advanced Mordochai to Haman's place of prime minister (vv. 1 and 2). Esther then earnestly besought the king for the abolition of the edict published by Haman against the Jews, and the king permitted her and Mordochai to send letters in the king's name to all the Jews in his kingdom, commanding them to stand for their life, and to slay their enemies, on the day appointed for their own extermination (Est 8:3-14). These measures diffused great joy throughout the kingdom (Est 8:15-17).
افتح المصدر ↗We left the plotter hanging, and are now to see what becomes of his plot. I. His plot was to raise an estate for himself; and all his estate, being confiscated for treason, is given to Esther and Mordecai (Est 8:1, Est 8:2). II. His plot was to ruin the Jews; and as to that, 1. Esther earnestly intercedes for the reversing of the edict against them (Est 8:3-6). 2. It is in effect done by another edict, here published, empowering the Jews to stand up in their own defence against their enemies (Est 8:7-14). III. This occasions great joy to the Jews and all their friends (Est 8:15-17).
افتح المصدر ↗8:11 The king’s decree did not permit the Jewish people to start a war but to defend themselves and plunder the property of those who attacked them (reversing the decree in 3:13). • The phrase kill, slaughter, and annihilate is an ironic repetition of the words in Haman’s original edict (3:13; see also 9:5).

وَأُرْسِلَتِ الْكِتَابَاتُ بِيَدِ السُّعَاةِ إِلَى كُلِّ بُلْدَانِ الْمَلِكِ لإِهْلاَكِ وَقَتْلِ وَإِبَادَةِ جَمِيعِ الْيَهُودِ، مِنَ الْغُلاَمِ إِلَى الشَّيْخِ وَالأَطْفَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ، فِي الثَّالِثَ عَشَرَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ الثَّانِي عَشَرَ، أَيْ شَهْرِ أَذَارَ، وَأَنْ يَسْلِبُوا غَنِيمَتَهُمْ.
فَلاَ يَأْخُذُونَ مِنَ الْحَقْلِ عُودًا، وَلاَ يَحْتَطِبُونَ مِنَ الْوُعُورِ، لأَنَّهُمْ يُحْرِقُونَ السِّلاَحَ بِالنَّارِ، وَيَنْهَبُونَ الَّذِينَ نَهَبُوهُمْ، وَيَسْلُبُونَ الَّذِينَ سَلَبُوهُمْ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ.
يَا بِنْتَ بَابِلَ الْمُخْرَبَةَ، طُوبَى لِمَنْ يُجَازِيكِ جَزَاءَكِ الَّذِي جَازَيْتِنَا!
وَالصِّدِّيقُونَ يَفْرَحُونَ. يَبْتَهِجُونَ أَمَامَ اللهِ وَيَطْفِرُونَ فَرَحًا.
عَلَى أُمَّةٍ مُنَافِقَةٍ أُرْسِلُهُ، وَعَلَى شَعْبِ سَخَطِي أُوصِيهِ، لِيَغْتَنِمَ غَنِيمَةً وَيَنْهَبَ نَهْبًا، وَيَجْعَلَهُمْ مَدُوسِينَ كَطِينِ الأَزِقَّةِ.
