Pur:
The word pur seems to be derived either from the Persian bahr and bar, a part, portion, lot, or pari, anything which happens fortuitously or fortunately; whence the annual festival in commemoration of the wonderful deliverance of the Jews from their enemies was called Purim, or in Arabic and Persian, Fuhr, or Lots; which has been observed by them, in all places of their dispersion, from that day to the present time, without any interruption. "In the firstª month,ª that¹ [is], the monthª Nisan,ª in the twelfthª ª yearª of kingª Ahasuerus,ª they castª ° Pur,ª that¹ [is], the lot,ª beforeª Hamanª from dayª ¹ to day,ª and from monthª ¹ to month,ª [to] the twelfthª ª [month], that¹ [is], the monthª Adar.ª" {Est 3:7}
