Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito, itinaas ni Haring Ahasuero sa mataas na katungkulan si Haman na anak ni Hamedata na Agageo, at higit pa siyang itinaas, at inilagay ang kanyang luklukan sa itaas ng lahat ng mga pinuno na kasama niya.
Tosefta Megillah
The obligation of the Megillah [is to read it] from the beginning until the end, the words of Rabbi Meir. Rabbi Yehuda says, from [the words] "A Jewish man" (Esther 2:5). Rabbi Yosei says, from [the words], "After these events" (Esther 3:1). Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar, from "That night" (Esther 6:1). But all agree that [regardless of the point at which one started], the obligation is to complete [the Megillah] until the very end.
