Esther 8:9 describes the decree issued by King Xerxes, allowing the Jewish people to defend themselves against their enemies. After Esther reveals her Jewish identity and the plot against her people, the king authorizes Mordecai to write a new edict. This edict not only permits the Jews to gather and protect themselves but also empowers them to take action against anyone who threatens them. The verse emphasizes the shift in the Jews' fortunes from impending doom to a chance for survival and self-defense.
