에스더 1:16 해설: Tze'enah Ure'enah & Rashi

“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.

Has aggrieved. An expression of iniquity [עָו‍ֹן].²⁹From the root עוה. However, according to the Ibn Ezra the root is עות meaning to act perversely.
