Esther 9:22-24
Lexham English Bible
22 as the day that the Jews found relief[a] from their enemies, and the month which changed for them from sorrow to joy, and from a mourning ceremony to a festive day;[b] to make them days of feasting and joy, and giving gifts to each other and to the poor. 23 And the Jews adopted what they had begun to do and what Mordecai had written to them.
24 For Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and he had cast pur, that is the lot, to rout them out and destroy them.
