29: And wroteH3789 EstherH0635 Queen,H4436 the daughterH1323 of Abihail,H0032 and with MordecaiH4782 the Jew,H3064 withH0854 fullH3605 authority,H8633 to confirmH6965 -H0853 letter aboutH0107 PurimH6332 thisH2063 second.H8145
30: And [Mordecai] sentH7971 the lettersH5612 toH0413 allH3605 the Jews,H3064 toH0413 sevenH7651 and twentyH6242 and a hundredH3967 provincesH4082 of the kingdomH4438 of Ahasuerus,H0325 [with] wordsH1697 of peaceH7965 and truth,H0571
31: to confirmH6965 -H0853 daysH3117 of PurimH6332 theseH0428 at their [appointed] timeH2165 asH0834 had prescribedH6965 for themH5921 MordecaiH4782 the JewH3064 and EstherH0635 QueenH4436 and asH0834 they had decreedH6965 forH5921 themselvesH5315 andH5921 their descendants,H2233 concerning mattersH1697 of their fastingH6685 and lamenting.H2201
32: So the decreeH3982 of EstherH0635 confirmedH6965 mattersH1697 of Purim-H6332 theseH0428 and it was writtenH3789 in the book.H5612
