Read the Bible in 2011 ◊ Week 52: Tuesday

“Then Mordecai recorded these events, and he sent letters to all the Jews who
were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far, obliging them to
celebrate the fourteenth day of the month Adar,
and the fifteenth day of the same month, annually,
because on those days the Jews rid themselves of
their enemies, and it was a month which was turned
for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning
into a holiday; that they should make them days of
feasting and rejoicing and sending portions of food
to one another and gifts to the poor.”
Esther 9:20–22

May the Lord be with you and bless you through the reading of His Word.
