bes@Esther:9:27 @ And Mardochaeus established it, and the Jews took upon themselves, and upon their seed, and upon those that were joined to them to observe it, neither would they on any account behave differently: but these days were to be a memorial kept in every generation, and city, and family, and province.

bes@Esther:9:28 @ And these days of the Phrurae, said they, shall be kept for ever, and their memorial shall not fail in any generation.
