And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, {are} they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? {advanced...: Heb. made him great}

வல்லமையும் பராக்கிரமமுமான அவனுடைய எல்லாச் செய்கைகளும், ராஜா பெரியவனாக்கின மொர்தெகாயினுடைய மேன்மையின் விர்த்தாந்தமும் மேதியா பெர்சியா ராஜாக்களின் நடபடி புஸ்தகத்தில் அல்லவோ எழுதியிருக்கிறது.

And he commanded that there should be two lots, one of the people of God, and the other of all the nations.

And both lots came to the day appointed already from that time before God to all nations:

And the Lord remembered his people, and had mercy on his inheritance.

And these days shall be observed in the month of Adar on the fourteenth, and fifteenth day of the same month. with all diligence, and joy of the people gathered into one assembly, throughout all the generations hereafter of the people of Israel.
