Commentaire sur Esther 1:7
וְהַשְׁקוֹת֙ בִּכְלֵ֣י זָהָ֔ב וְכֵלִ֖ים מִכֵּלִ֣ים שׁוֹנִ֑ים וְיֵ֥ין מַלְכ֛וּת רָ֖ב כְּיַ֥ד הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
Les boissons étaient offertes dans des vases d’or, qui présentaient une grande variété; et le vin royal était abondant, digne de la munificence du roi.
Rashi on Esther
As for drinking; golden utensils. [The word וְהַשְׁקוֹת means the same] as וּלְהַשְׁקוֹת and to give to drink.15Shemos 2:16.
