TSNTyndale Study Notes:

9:26-28 This paragraph justifies Purim as an approved Jewish festival even though Moses did not authorize it along with other festival days.

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

וְ⁠הַ⁠יָּמִ֣ים הָ֠⁠אֵלֶּה נִזְכָּרִ֨ים וְ⁠נַעֲשִׂ֜ים

and,the,days the=these remembered and,kept

This gives the result of the reasons described in verses 26 and 27. Alternate translation: “therefore” or “that is why”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

וְ⁠הַ⁠יָּמִ֣ים הָ֠⁠אֵלֶּה נִזְכָּרִ֨ים וְ⁠נַעֲשִׂ֜ים

and,the,days the=these remembered and,kept

Remembered and made mean basically the same thing here. The repetition is used to emphasize that the Jews have been faithful in doing this. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the general meaning by saying something like “So the Jews have celebrated these days.” Alternate translation: “therefore they said that they would remember and celebrate on those two days”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠הַ⁠יָּמִ֣ים הָ֠⁠אֵלֶּה נִזְכָּרִ֨ים וְ⁠נַעֲשִׂ֜ים

and,the,days the=these remembered and,kept

This expression uses two passive forms, but you could say the same thing using active forms. Alternate translation: “so the Jews have celebrated and observed these days”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בְּ⁠כָל־דּ֣וֹר וָ⁠ד֗וֹר

in=all generation and,generation

This expression means “in each and every generation.” Alternate translation: “in every single generation”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִשְׁפָּחָה֙ וּ⁠מִשְׁפָּחָ֔ה

This expression means “every family.” Alternate translation: “every Jewish family”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

מְדִינָ֥ה וּ⁠מְדִינָ֖ה וְ⁠עִ֣יר וָ⁠עִ֑יר

province and,province and,city and,city

This could be a figure of speech that refers to something by speaking of two extreme parts of it in order to include everything in between those parts. Generally speaking, a province would be the largest division of the empire that would identify a person’s location, and a city would be the smallest. Particularly, since the Jews would continue to celebrate Purim after the Persian empire and its provinces no longer exist, you might choose to express the meaning of this figure of speech in a more general way. Alternate translation: “everywhere they have lived”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מְדִינָ֥ה וּ⁠מְדִינָ֖ה

province and,province

This expression means “every province.” Alternate translation: “in every single province”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠עִ֣יר וָ⁠עִ֑יר

and,city and,city

This expression means “every city.” Alternate translation: “in every single city”

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives

and,days the,purim the=these not fall_into_disuse from,among the,Jews and,memory,their not fade among,descendants,their

As in verse 27, this expression means that the Jews will never stop celebrating the feast of Purim. You can say this positively. Alternate translation: “will always observe the Festival of Purim faithfully”

Note 10 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וִ⁠ימֵ֞י הַ⁠פּוּרִ֣ים הָ⁠אֵ֗לֶּה לֹ֤א יַֽעַבְרוּ֙ מִ⁠תּ֣וֹךְ הַ⁠יְּהוּדִ֔ים וְ⁠זִכְרָ֖⁠ם לֹא־יָס֥וּף מִ⁠זַּרְעָֽ⁠ם

and,days the,purim the=these not fall_into_disuse from,among the,Jews and,memory,their not fade among,descendants,their

These two phrases mean similar things. The repetition is used to emphasize that the Jews will definitely not stop celebrating Purim each year. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine the phrases and express the emphasis with a word like “definitely” or “certainly” or “always.” Alternate translation: “the Jews and their descendants will certainly always continue to celebrate this festival of Purim”

מִ⁠תּ֣וֹךְ הַ⁠יְּהוּדִ֔ים

from,among the,Jews

Alternate translation: “within the Jewish community”

וְ⁠זִכְרָ֖⁠ם לֹא־יָס֥וּף

and,memory,their not fade

Alternate translation: “will always observe”

Note 11 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠זַּרְעָֽ⁠ם

As in verse 27, seed means “descendants.” Alternate translation: “and for their descendants”
