Esther 9:27-29
Legacy Standard Bible
27 the Jews established and accepted a custom for themselves and for their seed and for (A)all those who joined themselves to them, so that [a](B)celebrating these two days according to what was written down and according to their fixed time from year to year would not pass away. 28 So these days were to be remembered and celebrated throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; thus these days of Purim were not to pass away from among the Jews, nor their memory come to an end from their seed.
29 Then Queen Esther, (C)daughter of Abihail, with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to establish (D)this second letter about Purim.

27 the Jews took it on themselves to establish the custom that they and their descendants and all who join them should without fail observe these two days every year, in the way prescribed and at the time appointed. 28 These days should be remembered and observed in every generation by every family, and in every province and in every city. And these days of Purim should never fail to be celebrated by the Jews—nor should the memory of these days die out among their descendants.
