כַּיָּמִ֗ים אֲשֶׁר־נָ֨חוּ בָהֶ֤ם הַיְּהוּדִים֙ מֵא֣וֹיְבֵיהֶ֔ם וְהַחֹ֗דֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר֩ נֶהְפַּ֨ךְ לָהֶ֤ם מִיָּגוֹן֙ לְשִׂמְחָ֔ה וּמֵאֵ֖בֶל לְי֣וֹם ט֑וֹב לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת אוֹתָ֗ם יְמֵי֙ מִשְׁתֶּ֣ה וְשִׂמְחָ֔ה וּמִשְׁל֤וֹחַ מָנוֹת֙ אִ֣ישׁ לְרֵעֵ֔הוּ וּמַתָּנ֖וֹת לָֽאֶבְיוֹנִֽים׃
이 달 이 날에 유다인이 대적에게서 벗어나서 평안함을 얻어 슬픔이 변하여 기쁨이 되고 애통이 변하여 길한 날이 되었으니 이 두 날을 지켜 잔치를 베풀고 즐기며 서로 예물을 주며 가난한 자를 구제하라 하매
German Commentary
Fasten und Beschenkung der Armen gestattet. Der Tag, an welchem die Dorfbewohner die Esterrolle vorzeitig gelesen haben, ist für sie kein Fest, an welchem Trauerfeier und Fasten verboten wäre; doch dürfen sie an diesem Tage schon die für Purim vorgeschriebenen Geldgeschenke (Ester 9, 22) an die Armen verteilen, obgleich das Festmahl und die damit verbundenen Freundesgaben (daselbst) auch für sie an den vierzehnten Adar gebunden sind.
Daf Shevui to Megillah
Rabbah the son of Rava says that work may even be performed on Purim itself. He derives this from a discrepancy between Esther 8:17 and 9:22. The earlier verse refers to Purim as a “good day (Yom Tov)” implying that work is prohibited. However, the latter verse does not mention “Yom Tov.” Thus the Jews accepted that they are not allowed to mourn or fast on Purim, but the work prohibition they did not accept.
Rashi
כמשלש חדשים ABOUT THREE MONTHS AFTER — the greater part of the first, the greater part of the third and the entire middle (second) one (Genesis Rabbah 85:10). The expression כמשלש חדשים signifies “when the months repeated themselves three times”. The word משלש is similar in form to (Ester 9:19) “and sending (ומשלח) portions”; (Isaiah 11:14), “sending (משלח) forth their hand”. Onkelos renders it similarly כתלתות ירחיא (where תלתות is the infinitive of תַּלַּת “when the months become three”).
