Esther 9:20-32

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>_.
