- 1Link divine inspiration to the verse
- 2Trace Mordechai and Esther’s exchange
- 3Distinguish reasons for inviting Haman
The Gemara reads wearing royalty as divine inspiration. It offers several reasons for inviting Haman to the banquet rather than reducing the act to one motive.
Kushya
Why does the verse say Esther wore royalty rather than royal clothes?
Terutz
The interpretation says divine inspiration clothed her, supported by the parallel wording about Amasai.
