International Standard Version

²⁷ the Jewish people established this celebration, making it a tradition^[a] for themselves, for their descendants, and for all who joined with them^[b] that they should not fail to observe these two days each year, based on the written instructions, and at the prescribed time. ²⁸ These days should be remembered and observed in every generation by each family in every province and town. These days of Purim should not be neglected by^[c] the Jewish people, and that they should not be forgotten by their descendants.
