Talmud sobre Ester 8:17
וּבְכָל־מְדִינָ֨ה וּמְדִינָ֜ה וּבְכָל־עִ֣יר וָעִ֗יר מְקוֹם֙ אֲשֶׁ֨ר דְּבַר־הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ וְדָתוֹ֙ מַגִּ֔יעַ שִׂמְחָ֤ה וְשָׂשׂוֹן֙ לַיְּהוּדִ֔ים מִשְׁתֶּ֖ה וְי֣וֹם ט֑וֹב וְרַבִּ֞ים מֵֽעַמֵּ֤י הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ מִֽתְיַהֲדִ֔ים כִּֽי־נָפַ֥ל פַּֽחַד־הַיְּהוּדִ֖ים עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃
Também em toda a província, e em toda cidade, aonde chegava a ordem do rei ao seu decreto, havia entre os judeus alegria e gozo, banquetes e festas; e muitos, dentre os povos da terra, se fizeram judeus, pois o medo dos judeus tinha caído sobre eles.
Tractate Gerim
Anyone who becomes a proselyte for the sake of [marrying a Jewish] woman, or out of fear, or love15[Of the Jews, perhaps deriving material advantage from his conversion.] is not a proselyte. Similarly R. Judah and R. Nehemiah said: All [the Gentiles] who were converted in the days of Mordecai and Esther were not genuine proselytes, as it is stated, And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them.16Esth. 8, 17. Anyone who is not converted from purely religious motives17lit. ‘to the name of Heaven’. is not a proselyte. [60b]
