Esther 9:29-31

New American Standard Bible

²⁹ Then Queen Esther, ^(A)daughter of Abihail, with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to confirm ^(B)this second letter about Purim. ³⁰ He sent letters to all the Jews, ^(C)to the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, namely, words of peace and truth, ³¹ to establish these days of Purim at their appointed times, just as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had established for them, and just as they had established for themselves and for their ^[a]descendants, with ^[b]instructions ^(D)for their times of fasting and their mourning.
