\v 20 Mordecai wrote down all the things that had happened. Then he sent letters to the Jews who lived throughout the empire of King Ahasuerus.
|
||||
\v 21 He called them to observe the fourteenth and the fifteenth day of Adar every year,
|
||||
\v 22 because those were the days when the Jews got victory over their enemies. He also told them that they should celebrate on those days by feasting and giving gifts of food to each other and especially to the poor people. They would remember it as the month in which they changed from being sad to being a time of great joy. They went from sorrow to celebrating.

\v 11 And even though Sarah was unable to have children because of her old-age, Abraham received the ability to father a child, because he considered Yahweh to be faithful because he had made the promise to him that he would have a son.
|
||||
\v 11 It was by faith, even though Sarah herself was past the age to conceive a child, that Abraham received the ability to bear a child. This happened even though he was too old, since he considered as faithful the one who had given the promise.
|
||||
\v 12 So, although Abraham was too old to have children, from that one man people descended who are as many in number as the stars in the sky and are as countless as the grains of sand along the shore, just like God promised him.
