Esther 9:26-28

Lexham English Bible

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^[a] these two days every year as it was written and appointed to them. ²⁸ These days are to be remembered and are to be kept in every generation, and in family, province, and city; and these days of Purim are not to be neglected among the Jews, and their memory shall not come to an end among their offspring.
