The Feast of Purim Is Established
20 Then Mordecai wrote down these events, and he sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far, 21 to establish among them to celebrate the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day [a]of the same month, annually, 22 because on those days the Jews obtained rest for themselves from their enemies, and it was a month which was (A)turned around for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a [b]holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness and (B)sending portions of food to one another and gifts to the poor.
