TTNTyndale Theme Notes:

Purim

The Festival of Purim is the only Old Testament festival not established during the time of Moses. Its name is derived from a word that means lots or dice (Hebrew purim, derived from Akkadian puru). It was a common practice in the ancient world to cast purim to determine whether God favored a particular course of action: A good number would indicate God’s approval, a bad number his disapproval. Near the king’s throne room at Susa in Persia, archaeologists found a small four-sided object with a number engraved on each side. A similar die inscribed with the word pur dates to the 800s BC. In the book of Esther, the Persian astrologers used purim to establish the best time to slaughter the Jews (Esth 3:7).

On the fateful day—March 7, 473 BC—God miraculously rescued his people from certain death, just as he had rescued the nation from Egypt at the Passover. Mordecai and Esther therefore formalized an annual celebration of God’s rescue so that all future generations would remember what God had accomplished (9:28). The festival was widely celebrated thereafter among Jews (see 2 Maccabees 15:36; Josephus, Antiquities 11.6.13; perhaps John 5:1).

When God rescued his chosen people, the day for Jewish execution turned into a day of holy vengeance and was followed by a day of celebration. Today, Jewish people fast and pray to commemorate Esther’s fasting. This fast is then followed by Purim, which is celebrated on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar (occurring in February or March). On this joyous holiday Jews read Esther (with loud boos for Haman and hoorays for Mordecai) and have a time of feasting and rejoicing, with gifts for friends and for the poor. It is a celebration of how God providentially worked to care for his people so that they were not exterminated (9:1-17) and of how God continues to care for, provide for, and save his people (see also Gen 45:5; Ps 91; Prov 16:9, 33; Dan 2:21; Acts 1:6-7; 2:22-23; 4:28-30; 17:24-27; Rom 8:28; 1 Pet 3:12).

UTNuW Translation Notes:

וְהַיְּהוּדִ֣ים אֲשֶׁר־בְּ⁠שׁוּשָׁ֗ן נִקְהֲלוּ֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,Jews which/who in/on/at/with,Susa assembled in/on/at/with,three ten in/on/over=him/it and,in/on/at/with,four ten in/on/over=him/it and,rested in/on/at/with,five ten in/on/over=him/it and,made DOM=him/it day feasting and,joy )

Alternate translation: “but the Jews who lived in the capital city of Susa”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

נִקְהֲלוּ֙

assembled

The implication is that they did this to fight against their enemies. This can be stated explicitly. Alternate translation: “the Jews who lived in Susa joined together to fight against their enemies”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בִּ⁠שְׁלֹשָׁ֤ה עָשָׂר֙ בּ֔⁠וֹ וּ⁠בְ⁠אַרְבָּעָ֥ה עָשָׂ֖ר בּ֑⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,three ten in/on/over=him/it and,in/on/at/with,four ten in/on/over=him/it

If it would be helpful in your language, you could say which month this is. Alternate translation: “on the thirteenth and fourteenth days of the month of Adar”

Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal

בִּ⁠שְׁלֹשָׁ֤ה עָשָׂר֙ בּ֔⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,three ten in/on/over=him/it

Alternate translation: “on day 13”

Note 4 topic: translate-ordinal

וּ⁠בְ⁠אַרְבָּעָ֥ה עָשָׂ֖ר בּ֑⁠וֹ

and,in/on/at/with,four ten in/on/over=him/it

Alternate translation: “and on day 14”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠נ֗וֹחַ בַּ⁠חֲמִשָּׁ֤ה עָשָׂר֙ בּ֔⁠וֹ וְ⁠עָשֹׂ֣ה אֹת֔⁠וֹ י֖וֹם מִשְׁתֶּ֥ה וְ⁠שִׂמְחָֽה

and,rested in/on/at/with,five ten in/on/over=him/it and,made DOM=him/it day feasting and,joy

Resting is a figurative way of saying that they no longer needed to fight against their enemies because they had won the battle. Alternate translation: “they defeated them, and there was no fighting on the fifteenth day. They devoted that day to joyful celebration”

Note 6 topic: translate-ordinal

בַּ⁠חֲמִשָּׁ֤ה עָשָׂר֙ בּ֔⁠וֹ

in/on/at/with,five ten in/on/over=him/it

Alternate translation: “on day 15”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

מִשְׁתֶּ֥ה וְ⁠שִׂמְחָֽה

feasting and,joy

This phrase means the same thing as in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “for feasting joyfully”
