Et dans chaque province, dans les lieux où la parole du roi et son ordonnance parvinrent, les Juifs furent en grand deuil, jeûnant, pleurant et se lamentant; et plusieurs se couchaient sur le sac et la cendre.
Dans chaque province, partout où arrivaient l'ordre du roi et son édit, il y eut une grande désolation parmi les Juifs; ils jeûnaient, pleuraient et se lamentaient, et beaucoup se couchaient sur le sac et la cendre.
Et en chaque province, dans les lieux où la parole du Roi et son ordonnance parvint, les Juifs furent en grand deuil, jeûnant, pleurant, et se lamentant; et plusieurs se couchaient sur le sac, et sur la cendre.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
in every province: Esther 1:1, Esther 3:12
great mourning: It cannot reasonably be doubted, that the mournings, fastings, and weepings of the Jews were attended by constant prayers and supplications; though all mention of them, and of the glorious God whom they worshipped, seems to have been studiously avoided. 1 Samuel 4:13, 1 Samuel 4:14, 1 Samuel 11:4, Isaiah 22:4, Isaiah 22:12, Isaiah 37:1-3
weeping: Matthew 13:42, Matthew 22:13, Matthew 25:30
many lay in sackcloth and ashes: Heb. sackcloth and ashes were laid under many, Isaiah 58:5, Daniel 9:3
Reciprocal: Nehemiah 9:1 - children Esther 4:1 - with ashes Esther 4:6 - the king's Esther 9:31 - the fastings
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And in every province whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came,.... For destroying the Jews on such a day, in every place where they were to be found:
there was great mourning among the Jews, and weeping, and wailing; which continued all day:
and many lay in sackcloth and ashes: all night; made use of no other bed to lie on, nor clothes to cover them with.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Esther 4:3. Fasting, and weeping, and wailing — How astonishing, that in all this there is not the slightest intimation given of praying to God!
