Esther 9:25-27

Lexham English Bible

²⁵ But when it came^[a] to the attention of^[b] the king, he gave orders in writing^[c] that his evil plot that he had devised against the Jews should return on his head, and they hung him and his sons on the gallows. ²⁶ Therefore they called these days Purim, because of the name Pur. Thus because of all the words of this letter, and of what they faced concerning this, and of what had happened to them, ²⁷ the Jews established and adopted it for themselves and for their offspring, and for all who joined them. They did not neglect to observe^[d] these two days every year as it was written and appointed to them.
