From Chapter 9:1-19 of the study of the Book of Esther (אֶסְתֵּר), brother Gideon Levytam points out the providence of God. The Lord purposed that through the Jewish people He would bring the promised Redeemer / Messiah into the world, and therefore, He would not allow their enemies to destroy them. While the Jews' enemies hoped to destroy them on the 13th day of Adar, things turned to the contrary, as the Jews stood together to stop their enemies from fulfilling Haman’s plan. The rulers of the provinces helped the Jews against their enemies, who eventually were defeated and Haman's ten sons were hanged upon the gallows as king Ahasuerus had commanded. Mordecai was promoted in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces. As for the Jews, the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth days of Adar, became days of rest, feasting and gladness.
