Esther 9:17-19

New Life Version

¹⁷ This was on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. On the fourteenth day they rested and made it a day of eating and joy. ¹⁸ But the Jews in Susa gathered on the thirteenth and fourteenth days of the same month. And they rested on the fifteenth day and made it a day of eating and joy. ¹⁹ So the Jews of the villages, who lived in the small towns without walls, made the fourteenth day of the month of Adar a special day of joy and eating and sharing their food with one another.
