Sapagkat ang ginawang ito ng reyna ay mababalitaan ng lahat ng mga babae, kaya't mamaliitin nila ang kanilang mga asawa sa kanilang paningin, sa pagsasabi nila: “Si Haring Ahasuero ay nag-utos na dalhin si Reyna Vasti sa harap niya, ngunit hindi siya pumunta.”

Yaẓa (“he came out”) is the opposite of ba (“he came in”). The term yaẓa is applied to the motion of a body from a place in which it had previously rested, to another place (whether the body be a living being or not), e.g., “And when they were gone out (yaẓeü) if the city” (Gen. 44:4); “If fire break out (teẓe)” (Exod. xxii. .5). It was then figuratively employed to denote the appearance of something incorporeal, as, “The word went out (yaẓa) of the king’s mouth” (Esth. 7:8); “When this deed of the queen shall come abroad (yeẓe) unto all women” (Esth. 1:17), that is to say, “the report will spread.” Again, “For out of Zion shall go forth (teẓe) the Law” (Isa. 2:3); further, “The sun had risen (yaẓa) upon the earth” (Gen. 19:23), i.e., its light became visible.
