Esther 9:31-32

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³¹ in order to confirm these days of Purim at their proper time just as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had established them and just as they had committed themselves and their descendants to the practices of fasting^(A) and lamentation.^{(B) 32} So Esther’s command confirmed these customs of Purim, which were then written into the record.
