Esther 9:18-32

But the Jews
<03064>

that [were] at Shushan
<07800>

assembled together
<06950> (8738)

on the thirteenth
<07969> <06240>

[day] thereof, and on the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

thereof; and on the fifteenth
<02568> <06240>

[day] of the same they rested
<05118>_,

and made
<06213> (8800)

it a day
<03117>

of feasting
<04960>

and gladness
<08057>_.

Therefore the Jews
<03064>

of the villages
<06521>_,

that dwelt
<03427> (8802)

in the unwalled
<06519>

towns
<05892>_,

made
<06213> (8802)

the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the month
<02320>

Adar
<0143>

[a day of] gladness
<08057>

and feasting
<04960>_,

and a good
<02896>

day
<03117>_,

and of sending
<04916>

portions
<04490>

one
<0376>

to another
<07453>_.

And Mordecai
<04782>

wrote
<03789> (8799)

these things
<01697>_,

and sent
<07971> (8799)

letters
<05612>

unto all the Jews
<03064>

that [were] in all the provinces
<04082>

of the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

[both] nigh
<07138>

and far
<07350>_,

To stablish
<06965> (8763)

[this] among them, that they should keep
<06213> (8802)

the fourteenth
<0702> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the month
<02320>

Adar
<0143>_,

and the fifteenth
<02568> <06240>

day
<03117>

of the same, yearly
<08141> <08141>_,

As the days
<03117>

wherein the Jews
<03064>

rested
<05117> (8804)

from their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

and the month
<02320>

which was turned
<02015> (8738)

unto them from sorrow
<03015>

to joy
<08057>_,

and from mourning
<060>

into a good
<02896>

day
<03117>_:

that they should make
<06213> (8800)

them days
<03117>

of feasting
<04960>

and joy
<08057>_,

and of sending
<04916>

portions
<04490>

one
<0376>

to another
<07453>_,

and gifts
<04979>

to the poor
<034>_.

And the Jews
<03064>

undertook
<06901> (8765)

to do
<06213> (8800)

as they had begun
<02490> (8689)_,

and as Mordecai
<04782>

had written
<03789> (8804)

unto them;

Because Haman
<02001>

the son
<01121>

of Hammedatha
<04099>_,

the Agagite
<091>_,

the enemy
<06887> (8802)

of all the Jews
<03064>_,

had devised
<02803> (8804)

against the Jews
<03064>

to destroy
<06> (8763)

them, and had cast
<05307> (8689)

Pur
<06332>_,

that [is], the lot
<01486>_,

to consume
<02000> (8800)

them, and to destroy
<06> (8763)

them; {consume: Heb. crush}

But when [Esther] came
<0935> (8800)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

he commanded
<0559> (8804)

by letters
<05612>

that his wicked
<07451>

device
<04284>_,

which he devised
<02803> (8804)

against the Jews
<03064>_,

should return
<07725> (8799)

upon his own head
<07218>_,

and that he and his sons
<01121>

should be hanged
<08518> (8804)

on the gallows
<06086>_.

{when...: Heb. when she came}

Wherefore they called
<07121> (8804)

these days
<03117>

Purim
<06332>

after the name
<08034>

of Pur
<06332>_.

Therefore for all the words
<01697>

of this letter
<0107>_,

and [of that] which they had seen
<07200> (8804)

concerning this matter
<03602>_,

and which had come
<05060> (8689)

unto them, {Pur: that is, Lot}

The Jews
<03064>

ordained
<06965> (8765)_,

and took
<06901> (8765)

upon them, and upon their seed
<02233>_,

and upon all such as joined
<03867> (8737)

themselves unto them, so as it should not fail
<05674> (8799)_,

that they would keep
<06213> (8802)

these two
<08147>

days
<03117>

according to their writing
<03791>_,

and according to their [appointed] time
<02165>

every year
<08141> <08141>_;

{fail: Heb. pass}

And [that] these days
<03117>

[should be] remembered
<02142> (8737)

and kept
<06213> (8737)

throughout
<01755>

every generation
<01755>_,

every family
<04940>_,

every province
<04082>_,

and every city
<05892>_;

and [that] these days
<03117>

of Purim
<06332>

should not fail
<05674> (8799)

from among
<08432>

the Jews
<03064>_,

nor the memorial
<02143>

of them perish
<05486> (8799)

from their seed
<02233>_.

{fail: Heb. pass} {perish: Heb. be ended}

Then Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>_,

the daughter
<01323>

of Abihail
<032>_,

and Mordecai
<04782>

the Jew
<03064>_,

wrote
<03789> (8799)

with all authority
<08633>_,

to confirm
<06965> (8763)

this second
<08145>

letter
<0107>

of Purim
<06332>_.

{authority: Heb. strength}

And he sent
<07971> (8799)

the letters
<05612>

unto all the Jews
<03064>_,

to the hundred
<03967>

twenty
<06242>

and seven
<07651>

provinces
<04082>

of the kingdom
<04438>

of Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

[with] words
<01697>

of peace
<07965>

and truth
<0571>_,

To confirm
<06965> (8763)

these days
<03117>

of Purim
<06332>

in their times
<02165>

[appointed], according as Mordecai
<04782>

the Jew
<03064>

and Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>

had enjoined
<06965> (8765)

them, and as they had decreed
<06965> (8765)

for themselves
<05315>

and for their seed
<02233>_,

the matters
<01697>

of the fastings
<06685>

and their cry
<02201>_.

{themselves: Heb. their souls}

And the decree
<03982>

of Esther
<0635>

confirmed
<06965> (8765)

these matters
<01697>

of Purim
<06332>_;

and it was written
<03789> (8737)

in the book
<05612>_.
