Esther 9:16-22

16And the other JewsH3064 that were in the king’sH4428 provincesH4082 gatheredH6950 themselvesH5315 togetherH5921, and stoodH5975 for their livesH5315, and had restH7605 from their enemiesH341, and slewH2026 of them that hatedH8130 them seventyH7657 and fiveH2568 thousandH505; but on the spoilH961 they laidH7971 notH3808 their handH3027.

17This was doneH6213 on the thirteenth dayH3117 of the monthH2320 AdarH143; and on the fourteenth dayH3117 of the sameH853 they restedH5117, and madeH6213 it a dayH3117 of feastingH4960 and gladnessH8057.

18But the JewsH3064 that were in Shushan assembledH6950 togetherH6950 on the thirteenth dayH3117 thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth dayH3117 of the sameH853 they restedH5117, and madeH6213 it a dayH3117 of feastingH4960 and gladnessH8057.

19Therefore doH6213 the JewsH3064 of the villagesH6519, that dwellH3427 in the unwalledH6521 townsH5892, makeH6213 the fourteenth dayH3117 of the monthH2320 AdarH143 a dayH3117 of gladnessH8057 and feastingH4960, and a goodH2896 dayH3117, and of sendingH4916 portionsH4490 one to anotherH7453.

20And MordecaiH4782 wroteH3789 theseH428 things, and sentH7971 lettersH5612 unto allH3605 the JewsH3064 that were in allH3605 the provincesH4082 of the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, bothH3605 nigh and farH7350,

21to enjoin them that they should keepH6213 the fourteenth dayH3117 of the monthH2320 AdarH143, and the fifteenth dayH3117 of the sameH853, yearlyH3117,

22as the daysH3117 whereinH834 the JewsH3064 had restH5117 from their enemiesH341, and the monthH2320 whichH834 was turnedH2015 unto them from sorrowH3015 to gladnessH8057, and from mourningH60 intoH2015 a goodH2896 dayH3117: that they should makeH6213 them daysH3117 of feastingH4960 and gladnessH8057, and of sendingH4916 portionsH4490 one to anotherH7453, and giftsH4979 to the poorH34.
