Clarke's Esther 9:29 Bible Commentary
Esther - wrote with all authority - Esther and Mordecai had the king's license so to do: and their own authority was great and extensive.
Barnes's Esther 9:29 Bible Commentary
This second letter of Purim - Mordecai's first letter Esther 9:20 was to some extent tentative, a recommendation. The Jews generally having accepted the recommendation Esther 9:23, Esther 9:27, he and Esther now wrote a second letter which was mandatory.
Wesley's Esther 9:29 Bible Commentary
9:29 Wrote - The former letter, ver. 20 , did only recommend but this enjoins the observation of this solemnity: because this was not only Mordecai's act, but the act of all the Jews, binding themselves and posterity.
