Matthew Poole and continuators on Esther 9:27

27 The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days, according to their writing , and according to their appointed time every year:

i. e. Gentile Proselites; who were obliged to submit to other of the Jewish Laws, and therefore to this also; the rather because they enjoyed the benefit of this days deliverance; without which the Jewish Nation and Religion had been in a great measure, if not wholly, extinct in the World.

i. e. According to that writing which was drawn up by Mordecai with Esthers consent, v. 23, 29. and afterwards confirmed by the consent of all the Jews in the several places.
