The back of celebration is a story of responsibility of man and the Hands of the Load

Esther 9:1-10:3

On the 13th day of the 12th month

But the tables were turned and the Jews got the upper hand over those who hated them.

The Jews struck down all their enemies with the sword. In the citadel of Susa, the Jews killed and destroyed 500 men. They also kill 10 of Haman’s sons. But they did not lay their hands on the plunder.

The king also answered queen let Haman’s sons be hanged on the gallows.

Meanwhile, the remainder of the Jews who were I the king’s provinces also assembled to protect themselves and get relief from their enemies. They killed 75,000 of them.

The Jews in Susa, has assembled on the 13th and 14th , and then on the 15th they rested and made it a day of feasting and joy.

Mordecai recorded these events, and he sent letters to all the Jews throughout the provinces – observe the 14th 15th of the month of Adar as the time when the Jews got relief from their enemies.

Queen Esther along with Mordecai wrote with full authority to confirm second letter concerning Purim. Observe the days as days of feasting and joy and giving presents of food to one another and gifts to the poor.

Why?

Did not lay their hands on enemies plunder is the Jews struck their enemies were not for their property. It is the war for the righteousness.

How?
