“And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.”
And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal robes of blue and white, with a great crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple, and the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced, demonstrating Mordecai's emergence from the palace in formal royal attire and the rejoicing of the city upon seeing him in this position of honor and power. This public display of Mordecai's elevation and the rejoicing of the city represent the material and emotional transformation that has occurred as a result of the reversal of Haman's position and the establishment of the counter-edict. The verse shows how the fortunes of individuals can become bound up with the fortunes of communities, and how the elevation of a righteous person can bring joy and hope to an entire people.
