BRAGADAYJAH 1235
Esther and Mordecai subordinate only to the king
The Jews then ordained and took upon them, and upon their seed, and unto all such as joined themselves unto them, so that it should not fail that they would keep these days, according to their writing, at the appointed time every year. That the days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, in every province, and in every city, and those days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed. Then Esther the Queen herself wrote using her authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim. And letters were sent to all the Jews in all the hundred and twenty seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth. And the decree of Esther and Mordecai confirmed the letters of Purim and it was written in the records of the Persians. And King Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land and upon the isles of the sea. And all the acts of his power and his might and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai whereby the king advanced him are recorded in the Chronicles of the kings of Media and of Persia. For Mordecai the Jew was next to king Ahasuerus and was great among the Jews and accepted by the multitude of his brethren, as he sought prosperity for all his people and peace for the generations to follow.
