Esther 9:20-28

20And MordecaiH4782 wroteH3789 these thingsH1697, and sentH7971 lettersH5612 to all the JewsH3064 that were in all the provincesH4082 of the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, both nearH7138 and farH7350, 21To establishH6965 this among them, that they should keepH6213 the fourteenthH702H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 AdarH143, and the fifteenthH2568H6240 dayH3117 of the same, yearlyH8141, 22As the daysH3117 in which the JewsH3064 restedH5117 from their enemiesH341, and the monthH2320 which was turnedH2015 to them from sorrowH3015 to joyH8057, and from mourningH60 into a goodH2896 dayH3117: that they should makeH6213 them daysH3117 of feastingH4960 and joyH8057, and of sendingH4916 portionsH4490 oneH376 to anotherH7453, and giftsH4979 to the poorH34. 23And the JewsH3064 undertookH6901 to doH6213 as they had begunH2490, and as MordecaiH4782 had writtenH3789 to them; 24Because HamanH2001 the sonH1121 of HammedathaH4099, the AgagiteH91, the enemyH6887 of all the JewsH3064, had devisedH2803 against the JewsH3064 to destroyH6 them, and had castH5307 PurH6332, that is, the lotH1486, to consumeH2000 them, and to destroyH6 them;1 25But when Esther cameH935 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, he commandedH559 by lettersH5612 that his wickedH7451 plotH4284, which he devisedH2803 against the JewsH3064, should returnH7725 upon his own headH7218, and that he and his sonsH1121 should be hangedH8518 on the gallowsH6086.2 26Therefore they calledH7121 these daysH3117 PurimH6332 after the nameH8034 of PurH6332. Therefore for all the wordsH1697 of this letterH107, and of that which they had seenH7200 concerning this matterH3602, and which had comeH5060 to them,3 27The JewsH3064 ordainedH6965, and tookH6901 upon them, and upon their seedH2233, and upon all such as joinedH3867 themselves to them, so as it should not failH5674, that they would keepH6213 these twoH8147 daysH3117 according to their writingH3791, and according to their appointed timeH2165 every yearH8141;4 28And that these daysH3117 should be rememberedH2142 and keptH6213 throughoutH1755 every generationH1755, every familyH4940, every provinceH4082, and every cityH5892; and that these daysH3117 of PurimH6332 should not failH5674 to be observed amongH8432 the JewsH3064, nor the memorialH2143 of them perishH5486 from their seedH2233.56
