Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And he sent letters unto all the Jews,.... That is, Mordecai did, signed in the queen's name, and his own: to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom
of Ahasuerus; among which was Judea, that was become a province, first of the Chaldean, now of the Persian empire, see Ezr 5:8 to whom also these letters were sent, directing and ordering the Jews there to observe these days, who were also concerned in the deliverance wrought: with words of peace and truth exhorting them to live in peace with one another, and their neighbours, and to constancy in the true religion; or wishing them all peace and prosperity in the most loving and sincere manner.
