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 ↗8:13 The Hebrew word translated to take revenge could also mean to establish justice. In situations where civil government could not exercise authority over all the parties involved in a conflict, this law would allow people who were attacked to establish justice by redressing wrongs committed against them.

وَصَرَخُوا بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ قَائِلِينَ:«حَتَّى مَتَى أَيُّهَا السَّيِّدُ الْقُدُّوسُ وَالْحَقُّ، لاَ تَقْضِي وَتَنْتَقِمُ لِدِمَائِنَا مِنَ السَّاكِنِينَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ؟»
صُورَةُ الْكِتَابَةِ الْمُعْطَاةِ سُنَّةً فِي كُلِّ الْبُلْدَانِ، أُشْهِرَتْ بَيْنَ جَمِيعِ الشُّعُوبِ لِيَكُونُوا مُسْتَعِدِّينَ لِهذَا الْيَوْمِ.
لِكَيْ تَصْبغَ رِجْلَكَ بِالدَّمِ. أَلْسُنُ كِلاَبِكَ مِنَ الأَعْدَاءِ نَصِيبُهُمْ».
فَدَعَا شَمْشُونُ الرَّبَّ وَقَالَ: «يَا سَيِّدِي الرَّبَّ، اذْكُرْنِي وَشَدِّدْنِي يَا اَللهُ هذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ فَقَطْ، فَأَنْتَقِمَ نَقْمَةً وَاحِدَةً عَنْ عَيْنَيَّ مِنَ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ».
أَفَلاَ يُنْصِفُ اللهُ مُخْتَارِيهِ، الصَّارِخِينَ إِلَيْهِ نَهَارًا وَلَيْلاً، وَهُوَ مُتَمَهِّلٌ عَلَيْهِمْ؟
