אסתר, פרק ט׳, פסוק י״ד

The King's swift agreement to Esther's plea marks the ultimate turning point in the struggle of the Jews within the capital city. Driven by his deep love for Esther, the King ignores any potential objections from his other ministers and chooses to fulfill her wish immediately [יוסף אבן יחיא]. By issuing a formal order, he grants the Jews official permission to act exactly as she requested [עמנואל הרומי].

This new law is established as an official royal document, firmly sealed with the king's own ring [אבן עזרא], serving as a formal mandate from the throne [רש״י]. The essence of this order allows the Jews an additional day to strike back against their enemies [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. However, this permission is strictly limited to the capital city and does not extend to the rest of the provinces [עמנואל הרומי].

As soon as the decree is issued, the ten sons of Haman are publicly hanged [יוסף אבן יחיא]. This act is not an execution. Instead, the bodies of Haman's sons, who have already been killed during the earlier battles, are hoisted up for public display [עמנואל הרומי]. This exhibition serves to showcase the total defeat of Haman's household. Extending the conflict in the capital and hanging the enemies are central elements of the great reversal, transforming a decree of death into life for the Jews. Ultimately, this dramatic shift paves the way for further gatherings, days of feasting and joy, and the recording of these events in a book to ensure they are remembered for all generations [ישע אלהים].
