Mordecai interprets his dream
1Mordecai said, “These things came from God. 2I remember the dream that I had about these things. Not one aspect of it failed to come true. 3There was the little spring that became a great river, and there were light and the sun and an abundance of water. The river is Esther, whom the king married and made queen. 4The two dragons are Haman and myself. 5The nations are those who gathered to wipe out the very name of the Jews.
6“As for my nation Israel, it cried out to God and was saved. The Lord saved his people, and the Lord delivered us from all these evils. God has done signs and great wonders that have not happened among the nations. 7For this reason God made two lots, one to represent God’s people and one to represent the nations. 8These two lots came before God for the hour and season and day of decision in the presence of all the nations. 9God remembered his people and affirmed the just cause of his inheritance.
10“The fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar#205.10 February–March will be observed among God’s people Israel with a gathering, with joy and feasting in the presence of God, from generation to generation forever.”
