This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and these days of Purim are not to pass away among the Jews, nor their remembrance to cease among their seed. The participles וְנַעֲשִׂים נִזְכָּרִים still depend on לִהְיֹות, Est 9:27. Not till the last clause does the construction change in לִהְיֹות לֹא to the temp. finit. יַעֲבֹור וְלֹא is a periphrasis of the adverb: imperishably, inviolably. כִּכְתָבָם, secundum scriptum eorum, i.e., as Mordochai had written concerning them (Est 9:23). כִּזְמַנָּם, as he had appointed their time. מִן סוּף, to come to an end from, i.e., to cease among their descendants.
