The Feast Days of Purim (Esther 9)
Our chronological study of the Bible continues with Esther 9 and the events following Haman’s hanging (Esther 7) and Mordecai’s elevation to authority throughout the Persian Empire (Esther 8). Esther 9 records the origin of the Feast of Purim, which celebrates the unseen hand of God in sparing the Jews, a story that is told in Jewish households and synagogues.
