OET (OET-RV) So that’s why the Jews who live in the rural villages observe this holiday on the 14th rather than the 15th. They celebrate with feasting and by giving gifts to each other.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

9:19 The annual festival and holiday of Purim celebrates God’s blessing of peace from their enemies (see Deut 25:19; Josh 21:44; 1 Sam 7:11-14). The narrator reports that the festival was celebrated to this day. Now, more than 2,400 years later, it is still celebrated annually by Jewish people.
• The exchange of gifts of food demonstrated the unity of the people and their care for one another and helped them to spread an atmosphere of joy for everyone celebrating the festival.

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:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

עַל־כֵּ֞ן

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so

This term introduces the result of the events that were described in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “for that reason” or “that is why”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

הַ⁠יְּהוּדִ֣ים הַפְּרָזִ֗ים הַ⁠יֹּשְׁבִים֮ בְּ⁠עָרֵ֣י הַ⁠פְּרָזוֹת֒

the,Jews (Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so the,Jews the, the,live in/on/at/with,towns the,rural observe DOM day four ten of,month Adar joy and,feasting and,day good and,send portions (a)_man to,another,him )

These two phrases mean similar things. They are used together to make the identification of this group clear. The first phrase means that they lived in rural areas. The second phrase means they lived in settlements that did not have walls around them, that is, in villages. You can combine these phrases. Alternate translation: “the Jews who live in villages in the countryside”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עֹשִׂ֗ים אֵ֠ת י֣וֹם אַרְבָּעָ֤ה עָשָׂר֙ & וְ⁠י֣וֹם ט֑וֹב

observe DOM day four ten & and,day good

The implication is that this explanation is being offered for the benefit of city-dwelling Jews who might wonder why rural Jews celebrate this holiday on a different day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation, add: “rather than on the fifteenth day.”

עֹשִׂ֗ים אֵ֠ת י֣וֹם אַרְבָּעָ֤ה עָשָׂר֙ & וְ⁠י֣וֹם ט֑וֹב

observe DOM day four ten & and,day good

Alternate translation: “observe this holiday on the fourteenth day”

Note 4 topic: translate-ordinal

י֣וֹם אַרְבָּעָ֤ה עָשָׂר֙

day four ten

Alternate translation: “the fourteenth day”

Note 5 topic: translate-hebrewmonths

of,month Adar

Adar is the name of the twelfth and last month of the Hebrew calendar. See how you translated this in 3:7, 3:13, 8:12, 9:1, 9:15 and 9:17.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

שִׂמְחָ֥ה וּ⁠מִשְׁתֶּ֖ה

joy and,feasting

As in verses 17 and 18, this means “by celebrating joyfully”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠י֣וֹם ט֑וֹב

and,day good

This expression generally means a day of happiness or celebration.

Note 8 topic: translate-symaction

וּ⁠מִשְׁל֥וֹחַ מָנ֖וֹת אִ֥ישׁ לְ⁠רֵעֵֽ⁠הוּ

and,send portions (a)_man to,another,him

Giving gifts, in this culture as in many cultures, was a way of acknowledging a special occasion. Alternate translation: “and by giving gifts to one another”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אִ֥ישׁ לְ⁠רֵעֵֽ⁠הוּ

(a)_man to,another,him

Here, a man means “a person.” The term friend would include family members and neighbors as well as social friends. Alternate translation: “to one another”
