In context

20Mordecai recorded these events and sent letters to all the Jews in all the provinces of King Xerxes, both near and far,

21To establish among them an annual celebration on the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar

22As the days on which the Jews gained rest from their enemies and the month in which their sorrow turned to joy and their mourning into a holiday. He wrote that these were to be days of feasting and joy, of sending gifts to one another and to the poor.

23So the Jews agreed to continue the custom they had started, as Mordecai had written to them.

24For Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them and had cast the Pur (that is, the lot) to crush and destroy them.
