OET (OET-LV) To_impose on_them to_be observing DOM day_of four- teen of_the_month_of Adar and_DOM day_of fif- teen in/on/over_him/it in_all year and_year.
OET (OET-RV) That decree established an annual holiday on the 14th and 15th of March every year,[fn]
9:21 The OET-RV gives an approximate time of the year in our calendars, but the Jewish calendar is largely a lunar calendar so the dates of the feast in our calendars moves around a little. In 2024 for example, ‘Purim’ begins on the evening of March 23 in Yisrael/Israel and concludes at sundown on March 24.
Mordecai sent out letters to tell the Jews to hold a celebration each year to remember the victory of the Jews over their enemies. This annual festival was called Purim because Haman had cast lots called purim to choose the best day to kill the Jews. Jews still celebrate this festival today.

the fourteenth and fifteenth days: According to the letter Mordecai wrote, the Jews were to celebrate the feast of Purim on both days.
Adar: See note on 3:7d.
