Esther 9:31-32

English Standard Version

³¹ that these days of Purim should be observed at their appointed seasons, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther obligated them, and as they had obligated themselves and their offspring, with regard to ^(A)their fasts and their lamenting. ³² The command of Esther confirmed these practices of ^(B)Purim, and it was recorded in writing.
