Contextual Overview
20 Mordekhai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Yehudim who were in all the provinces of the king Achashverosh, both near and far, 21 to enjoin those who they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly, 22 as the days in which the Yehudim had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to gladness, and from mourning into a good day; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the needy. 23 The Yehudim undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordekhai had written to them; 24 because Haman the son of Hammedata, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Yehudim, had plotted against the Yehudim to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them; 25 but when [the matter] came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Yehudim, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows. 26 Therefore they called these days Purim, after the name of Pur. Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come to them, 27 the Yehudim ordained, and took on them, and on their seed, and on all such as joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to the writing of it, and according to the appointed time of it, every year; 28 and that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Yehudim, nor the memory of them perish from their seed. 29 Then Ester the queen, the daughter of Avichayil, and Mordekhai the Yehudi, wrote with all authority to confirm this second letter of Purim.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
To stablish this among them,.... That it might be a settled thing, and annually observed in all future generations, what they had now done:
that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly; as the former had been observed by the Jews in the provinces, and both by those in Shushan, Esther 9:17
as festivals in commemoration of their great deliverance; hence the fourteenth of Adar is called the day of Mordecai, being established by him;
"And they ordained all with a common decree in no case to let that day pass without solemnity, but to celebrate the thirtieth day of the twelfth month, which in the Syrian tongue is called Adar, the day before Mardocheus' day.'' (2 Maccabees 15:36)
