Commentaire sur Esther 3:10
וַיָּ֧סַר הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ אֶת־טַבַּעְתּ֖וֹ מֵעַ֣ל יָד֑וֹ וַֽיִּתְּנָ֗הּ לְהָמָ֧ן בֶּֽן־הַמְּדָ֛תָא הָאֲגָגִ֖י צֹרֵ֥ר הַיְּהוּדִֽים׃
Le roi ôta son anneau du doigt et le remit à Aman, fils de Hamedata, l’Agaghite, le persécuteur des juifs.
Rashi on Esther
The king removed his ring. This represents the granting of any great matter that is required of the king;6Otherwise why would the king present the ring to Haman who did not ask for it but rather requested to annihilate the Jews. The king’s removal of his ring was more effective than the forty-eight prophets sent by God to admonish the Jews. They were unable to convince them to repent, but the transfer of the ring to Haman resulted in repentance and three days of fasting. (Maseches Megillah 14a) that the one who has the ring on his hand is the ruler over all the king’s affairs.
