Esther 9:22 in Context — Esther 9
20 Y escribió Mardochêo estas cosas, y envió letras á todos los Judíos que estaban en todas las provincias del rey Assuero, cercanos y distantes,
21 Ordenándoles que celebrasen el día décimocuarto del mes de Adar, y el décimoquinto del mismo, cada un año,
22 Como días en que los Judíos tuvieron reposo de sus enemigos, y el mes que se les tornó de tristeza en alegría, y de luto en día bueno; que los hiciesen días de banquete y de gozo, y de enviar porciones cada uno á su vecino, y dádivas á los pobres.
23 Y los Judíos aceptaron hacer, según habían comenzado, lo que les escribió Mardochêo.
24 Porque Amán hijo de Amadatha, Agageo, enemigo de todos los Judíos, había ideado contra los Judíos para destruirlos, y echó Pur, que quiere decir suerte, para consumirlos y acabar con ellos.
