Lalu Memukan berkata di hadapan raja dan para pembesar: “Ratu Wasti telah berbuat salah bukan hanya terhadap raja saja, melainkan juga terhadap semua pembesar dan terhadap semua bangsa di seluruh provinsi Raja Ahasyweros.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“Memucan said” [1:16]. Haman said. This was Memucan who was prepared for all troubles.22B. Megillah, 12b. Haman said, not only did Vashti disgrace the king, but it is not right for the ministers. Their wives will also not do what their husbands will tell them to do, just like the queen did to the king. Therefore, it should be written in the annals of the Persians and Medes that the queen did not want to come and her throne should be given to another woman. That is to say, he said, “to another who is better than her” [1:19]. This means, a woman should be selected who is good in her own right, who is not noble and is not descended from a king. A woman who has a noble pedigree considers herself important and does not take care of her husband. Therefore, he says, “better than her” [1:19], she who is good in her own right.
Rashi
