    19 That is why the rural Jews who live in villages observe the fourteenth day of the month of Adar as a day of joy and feasting, a day for giving gifts to one another.

    20 Mordecai recorded these events and sent letters to all the Jews throughout the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far,

    21 to establish among them that they should celebrate the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar every year,

    22 as the days when the Jews gained relief from their enemies, and as the month that was turned for them from sorrow to joy and from mourning to a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and send gifts of food to one another and gifts to the poor.

    23 So the Jews agreed to continue the celebration they had started, doing what Mordecai had written to them.

    24 For Haman, the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted to destroy them. He cast the pur—that is, the lot—to crush and annihilate them.

    25 But when the matter came before the king, he ordered by letter that the wicked scheme Haman had devised against the Jews should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

    26 That is why these days were called Purim, from the word pur. Therefore, because of everything written in this letter, and because of what they had witnessed and what had happened to them,

    27 the Jews established and agreed, for themselves, their descendants, and all who might join them, that they would not fail to celebrate these two days every year, in the prescribed manner and at the appointed time.

    28 These days should be remembered and observed in every generation by every family, in every province, and in every city. And these days of Purim should never cease to be celebrated by the Jews, nor should their memory fade from their descendants.

    29 Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, along with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to confirm this second letter concerning Purim.

    30 He sent letters to all the Jews in the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, containing words of peace and truth,

    31 to establish these days of Purim at their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had decreed for them, and as they had established for themselves and their descendants regarding matters of fasting and lamentation.
