They were to be days of feasting, rejoicing, and of sending gifts to one another and the poor.So the Jews agreed to continue the practice they had begun, as Mordecai had written them to do.For Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them. He cast the Pur( that is, the lot) to crush and destroy them.But when the matter was brought before the king, he commanded by letter that the evil plan Haman had devised against the Jews return on his own head and that he should be hanged with his sons on the gallows.
