There are contradictions. In one place it says “vish lo omad”, no body stood up to the Jews….but then it says they killed 75,000 “enemies”…. – and when it was over they celebrated. If they won a war we can celebrate, not if they killed hapless ppl who are not fighting you.
we also need to understand why it says everyone celebrates “the way they rested” (9:22). I understand shushan itself cause them and only them rested on the 15th, but a walled city other then shushan “fought” on the 13th, so they rested on the 14th, why would they celebrate on the 15th? Its not the “way they rested”
Even had it not say the words “like they rested”, its still not logical for a walled city to celebrate on the wrong day just because in shushan they rested that day. What does the fact that Shushan has a wall around it have to do with it? Find another common random attribute to shushan (maybe all cities that have plumbing like shushan celebrate the 15th as a zaycher to shushan)
Also, why didnt they take the spoils like M said? (according to what was said above, M had to keep the letter the same or similar to H, to make it look like its a clarification of Hamans letter, so he had to say they should take the spoils like it said in Hamans letter. He had never intended for the jews to take it and thats why they didnt)
