What this page covers
Where the videos go in Esther
The videos here take Esther as a whole rather than one passage at a time, so this is the ground they cover: “A Queen Who Said No”, “Lots Cast for a Whole People”, “If I Perish, I Perish”, “A Sleepless Night and a Gallows” and “A Feast That Is Still Kept”.
A Queen Who Said No (Esther 1–2). Six months of banqueting end with a drunk king summoning Vashti to be looked at, and her refusal costs her the crown. A search brings young women in from the whole empire, and a Jewish orphan raised by her older cousin is taken into the palace and told to say nothing about who she is. Mordecai overhears an assassination plot at the gate, reports it, and is written into the record and forgotten.
A Feast That Is Still Kept (Esther 9–10). On the day chosen for their destruction the Jews fight and are not destroyed, and three times the text notes that they did not touch the plunder. Mourning turns into a holiday with food carried to neighbours and gifts sent to the poor, and it is named Purim after the dice Haman threw. God is never once mentioned in the book, and is not hard to find in it.
