Mordecai  recorded these events and sent letters to all the Jews in all of King Ahasuerus’s provinces, both near and far.


Esther was the daughter of Abihail,  the uncle of Mordecai who had adopted her as his own daughter. When her turn came to go to the king, she did not ask for anything except what Hegai, the king’s eunuch, keeper of the women, suggested. Esther gained favour in the eyes of everyone who saw her.


Mordecai wrote in King Ahasuerus’s name and sealed the edicts with the royal signet ring. He sent the documents by mounted couriers,  who rode fast horses  bred in the royal stables.


The couriers left, spurred on by royal command, and the law was issued in the fortress of Susa.  The king and Haman sat down to drink, while the city of Susa was in confusion.


He ordered  them to celebrate the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar every year


These days are remembered and celebrated by every generation, family, province, and city, so that these days of Purim will not lose their significance in Jewish life  and their memory will not fade from their descendants.
