And he sent the letters to all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the king Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth, demonstrating that Mordecai's letters are sent throughout the empire with messages of peace and truth, suggesting that the commemoration is intended to be an occasion for peace and the establishment of truth about what had occurred. The sending of letters throughout the empire ensures that all Jewish communities will have access to the authentic account and will be able to participate in the commemoration. The verse shows how established authorities use communication networks to transmit authoritative accounts and commemorative practices.
