Esther 8:16-17

American Standard Version

¹⁶ The Jews had light and gladness, and joy and honor. ¹⁷ And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them.
