Esther 9:26-28
New American Standard Bible
26 Therefore they called these days Purim after the name of [a]Pur. [b]And (A)because of the instructions in this letter, both what they had seen in this regard and what had happened to them, 27 the Jews established and [c]made a custom for themselves, their [d]descendants, and for (B)all those who allied themselves with them, so that [e]they would not fail (C)to celebrate these two days according to their [f]regulation and according to their appointed time annually. 28 So these days were to be remembered and celebrated throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and these days of Purim were not to [g]be neglected by the Jews, or their memory [h]fade from their [i]descendants.
