Esther 9:31-32

New Life Version

³¹ They made sure that these days of Purim would be kept at the right times, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had told them. These days were set apart for themselves and for their children and their children’s children, with the times they were to go without food and the times they were to be sad. ³² The words of Esther made the rules for keeping Purim sure, and it was written in the book.
