Bible Commentary

Esther 9:32

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

The decree of Esther. Rather, "a commandment of Esther." Some fresh act seems to be intended—something beyond the joint letter of Esther and Mordecai; though why it was needed, or what additional authority it could give, is not apparent. And it was written in the book. i.e. "this commandment of Esther was inserted in the book of the chronicles," where the writer probably found it. No other book being mentioned in Esther but this, "the book'' can have no other meaning (see Esther 2:23; Esther 6:1; Esther 10:2).
