Esther 9:30-32

The Voice

³⁰ So Mordecai sent letters to all the Jews in the 127 provinces of King Ahasuerus’ kingdom. His letter included encouraging words of peace and truth; ³¹ and it was his hope to establish these days of Purim permanently on the calendar as days of mourning and fasting for future generations as it was for themselves. ³² Esther’s authority affirmed the tradition of Purim and it was written down in the official records.
