耶和華使你脫離痛苦、愁煩、被迫作的苦工，得享安息的日子，

因此鄉村的猶大人，就是住在沒有城牆的村鎮的，都以亞達月十四日為歡樂飲宴的吉日，互送禮物。

只是要我們記念窮人，這本來也是我一向熱心作的。

我實實在在告訴你們，你們要痛哭哀號，世人卻要歡喜；你們要憂愁，但你們的憂愁要變為喜樂。婦人生產的時候會有憂愁，因為她的時候到了；但生了孩子以後，就不再記住那痛苦了，因為歡喜有一個人生到世上來。現在你們也有憂愁；但我要再見你們，你們的心就會喜樂，你們的喜樂是沒有人能夠奪去的。

只要把裡面的施捨出去，你們的一切就都潔淨了。

正月十三日，王的書記都召了來，照著哈曼的一切吩咐，用各省的文字，各族的方言，奉亞哈隨魯王的名下旨，又用王的戒指蓋上印，頒給總督、各省的省長和各族的領袖。王旨交給眾驛使傳到王的各省，吩咐要在一日之內，在十二月，就是亞達月十三日，把所有的猶大人，無論老少婦孺，都全部毀滅、殺絕、除盡，並且搶奪他們的財產。

所有信的人都在一起，凡物公用，並且變賣產業和財物，按照各人的需要分給他們。他們天天同心在殿裡恆切地聚集，一家一家地擘餅，存著歡樂和誠懇的心用飯，

我的心哪！你要稱頌耶和華；不可忘記他的一切恩惠。

摩西對人民說：“你們要記念這一天，就是從埃及為奴之家出來的這一天，因為耶和華用大能的手把你們從這裡領出來；所以有酵之物都不可以吃。你們是在亞筆月這一日出來的。日後耶和華領你進到迦南人、赫人、亞摩利人、希未人、耶布斯人之地，就是他向你的列祖起誓要賜給你的那流奶與蜜之地，那時你要在這月守這敬拜之禮。你要吃無酵餅七日，第七日要向耶和華守節。七日之中你要吃無酵餅；在你四境之內，不可見有發過酵之物在你面前，也不可見有酵在你那裡。在那日，你要告訴你的兒子說：‘這是因為耶和華在我從埃及出來的時候為我所行的事。’

哀痛的人有福了，因為他們必得安慰。

尼希米又對他們說：“你們應當去吃肥美的肉，喝甘甜的酒，把部分飲食分給沒有能力預備的人，因為今天是我們的主的聖日；你們不要憂愁，因為靠耶和華而得的喜樂是你們的力量。”於是利未人使眾民安靜下來，說：“你們安靜吧，因為今天是聖日，也不要再憂愁！”眾民就去吃喝，也把部分飲食與人分享，大大歡樂。因為他們明白教訓他們的話。

到那日，你必說：“耶和華啊！我要稱謝你，因為你雖曾向我發怒，你的怒氣卻已轉消，你又安慰了我。看哪！神是我的拯救；我要倚靠他，並不懼怕，因為耶和華神是我的力量，我的詩歌，他也成了我的拯救。”
