Esther 9:30-32

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁰ So they sent letters to all the Jews who lived in the 127 regions of Xerxes' kingdom. The message was to help them live safely in peace. ³¹ It told the Jews how to have the days of Purim as a holiday at the right time each year. This was a rule that came from the Jewish man, Mordecai, and from Queen Esther. The message also said that the Jews should remember the sad times, and they should fast.

³² Queen Esther's command made those rules about the feast of Purim. The palace secretaries wrote it down in a book.
