26Therefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. 1And 2because of the instructions in this letter, both what they had seen in this regard and what had happened to them,

27the Jews established and 3made a custom for themselves and for their 4descendants and for 5all those who allied themselves with them, so that 6they would not fail 7to celebrate these two days according to their 8regulation and according to their appointed time annually.
