Esther 9 · Grade 4

Turned the Other Way

Name Date

Read and Think

On the thirteenth day of Adar, the enemies of the Jews hoped to rule over them. But it was turned the other way. The Jews gathered in their cities to defend themselves. No one could withstand them. The princes and governors helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them. Mordecai was great in the king's house.

The Jews defeated those who attacked them, including Haman's ten sons. But they did not take the plunder. Then they rested. They made the next day a day of feasting and gladness. They sent gifts to one another and gifts to the needy.

Mordecai wrote to all the Jews. They were to keep the fourteenth and fifteenth days of Adar every year. These were days when sorrow turned to gladness and mourning into a good day. The days were called Purim, after Pur, the lot. Queen Esther wrote with Mordecai to confirm Purim. Each generation would remember these days. Christians see in them God's deliverance.

Esther 9 · Grade 5

Remembering Deliverance

Name Date

Read and Think

On the thirteenth day of Adar, the very day the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, it was turned the other way. The Jews gathered in their cities throughout the provinces to defend themselves against those who sought their hurt. No one could withstand them. The princes, governors, and officials helped them, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them.

The Jews defended themselves against their enemies, and Haman's ten sons also fell. Three times the writer notes that they did not lay their hand on the plunder. This showed they sought protection, not gain. On the fourteenth day they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness. In Susa they rested on the fifteenth.

Mordecai recorded these things and wrote to all the Jews. They were to keep both days every year as the days when the Jews had rest from their enemies. These were days of feasting and gladness, sending gifts to one another, and gifts to the needy. The feast was named Purim, after Pur, the lot Haman had cast. Then Esther the queen wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter. These days would be remembered generation after generation. Christians see in them the Lord turning sorrow into joy.
