20 And Mordecai wrote these words, and he sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, those near and those far away, 21 to establish for them to be keeping the four and tenth day of the month of Adar, and the five and tenth day of it, in every year and year, 22 as the days on which the Jews had rest on them from their enemies, and the month that was turned for them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning to a good day, to make them days of feasting and joy, and for sending portions, each man to his neighbor, and gifts to the needy.
