Talmud sobre Isaías 45:2

BARAITHA.¹⁰⁸K 24. R. Eliezer b. Jacob said: Whoever greets his teacher [with the ordinary salutation] forfeits his life. R. Eliezer b. Dahabai¹⁰⁹In K ‘Ben ‘Azzai’. said: Whoever greets his teacher [with the ordinary salutation], whoever responds to his salutation [in the ordinary way], whoever makes a statement [in the name of his teacher which] he has not heard from his mouth, and whoever opposes his School causes the Divine Presence to depart from Israel. But whoever repeats a statement in the name of his teacher brings redemption to the world; as it is stated, And Esther told the king in Mordecai’s name.
GEMARA. Our Rabbis taught: How could Mordecai have told Esther?¹¹⁰Seeing that the gates of the palace were strictly guarded. It teaches that all [the gates]¹¹¹‘The gates’ has fallen out of the text. opened¹¹²In the Sifrë di Aggadetha, ed. Buber, p. 65, it is related that Mordecai entered secretly by night without the knowledge of the palace guards and no one restrained him. themselves for him and he entered within [the palace] and told her all the signs.¹¹³Of the conspiracy of Bigthan and Teresh (Esth. 2, 21). This can be inferred by an argument from the less to the great: if it is written of the son of Esther,¹¹⁴viz. Cyrus who is said to have been her son. I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the doors of brass,¹¹⁵Isa. 45, 2. If Cyrus could force the gates of Babylon, how much more could Mordecai obtain entrance to the palace! how much more so Mordecai, one of the Elders of the Sanhedrin!
