Midrash su Deuteronomio 27:15

What did Mordekhai say to someone who would say to him: “Why are you violating the king’s command?” (Esther 3:3) Rabbi Levi said: Mordekhai would say: ‘Moses our master cautioned us in the Torah: “Cursed is the man who will craft an idol or a cast figure” (Deuteronomy 27:15), and this wicked one is rendering himself an idol. And Isaiah the prophet cautioned us: “Desist from man, who has breath in his nostrils, as what is he considered?” (Isaiah 2:22). Moreover, I am of the nobility of the Holy One blessed be He, as all the other tribes were born outside the Land of Israel and my ancestor was born in the Land of Israel.’⁴Benjamin was born in Canaan, but all his older brothers were born in Padan Aram when Jacob and his wives were still dwelling with Laban. They said to him: ‘We will tell him.’ Immediately, “they told Haman…” (Esther 3:4).
Haman said to them: ‘Tell him: Didn’t his ancestor prostrate himself before my ancestor; that is what is written: “The maidservants approached…and prostrated themselves, and afterward Joseph and Rachel approached and prostrated themselves” (Genesis 33:6–7). He responded: ‘But Benjamin had not yet been born.’ They told him; that is what is written: “They told Haman.”

(Fol. 33) MISHNAH: Six tribes ascended Mt. Gerizim and six tribes ascended Mt. Ebal. The priests and the Levites together with the Holy Ark stood below the Mountain, in the space between the two mountains. The Holy Ark was surrounded by the priests, while the priests in return were surrounded by Levites, and all Israel, its elders, officers and judges stood on both sides of the ark opposite the priests and Levites, as it is said (Josh. 8, 33) And all Israel and their ciders, and the officers, and the judges, stood on this side and on that side of the Ark, opposite the priests, Levites, etc. The Levites then turned their faces towards Mt. Gerizim and began the blessings. Blessed be the man who does not make a graven or molten image, the abomination of the Lord. Whereupon both sides answered: Amen. The Levites then turned their faces towards Mt. Ebal and began the curses (Deut. 27, 15) Cursed be the man who maketh a graven or molten image. Whereupon both sides answered. Amen. This procedure continued until the Levites concluded the entire chapter of the blessings and curses, after which they brought stones, erected an altar, lined it with lime and wrote upon it the entire Torah in seventy languages, as it is written (Ib., ib. 7) very plainly. Then they took the stones, brought them and spent the night in their places.

R. Juda b. Nachmeni the interpreter of R. Simon b. Lakish, lectured: "The entire chapter mentioned at Mt. Gerizim was said concerning none else than adulterers, as it is said (Deut. 27, 15) Cursed be the man who maketh a graven or molten image, the abomination of the Lord, etc. Is this possible that one who makes a graven or molten image should merely be punished with a curse? We must therefore say that this refers to one who begot an unlawful child who went among the heathens, to serve idols. Whereupon the Holy One, praised be He, said: 'Cursed be the father and mother of this man who have caused him to do that.'"
