On the thirteenth [06240] [07969] day [03117] of the month [02320] Adar [0143]; and on the fourteenth [06240] [0702] day of the same rested [05118] they, and made [06213] it a day [03117] of feasting [04960] and gladness [08057].of the same: Heb. in it
Therefore the Jews [03064] of the villages [06521], that dwelt [03427] in the unwalled [06519] towns [05892], made [06213] the fourteenth [06240] [0702] day [03117] of the month [02320] Adar [0143] a day of gladness [08057] and feasting [04960], and a good [02896] day [03117], and of sending [04916] portions [04490] one [0376] to another [07453].
To stablish [06965] this among them, that they should keep [06213] the fourteenth [06240] [0702] day [03117] of the month [02320] Adar [0143], and the fifteenth [06240] [02568] day [03117] of the same, yearly [08141] [08141],
