“And the king rose in his anger…and the king returned from the palace garden.” (Esther 7:7) His returning is compared to his arising. Just as the arising was in anger, so too the returning was in anger. For he went and found ministering angels in the form of men who were uprooting trees from the garden. He said to them: What are you doing? What are you doing? Haman has ordered us.
