Esther 8:17 - In every province and in every city, wherever the edict of the king went, there was joy and gladness among the Jews, with feasting and celebrating. And many people of other nationalities became Jews because fear of the Jews had seized them.
I wonder what these people did to become Jews. Were they circumcised? Did they start to follow Jewish religious practices? Did they become Jews for more than just the one day? How would an enemy of the Jews know that a non-Jew had become a Jew? And why would he care? What difference did it make if those who weren't enemies of the Jews became Jews?
