פּירוש אויף אסתר 5:14

^{Transcriber's note}For the rest of this verse, Cassel's text is substantially shorter than the Aramaic here. Thus the translation does not align very well. Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him: "Thou canst not throw him into fire, because his ancestor Abraham was delivered out of it. Thou canst not kill him with the sword, because his ancestor Isaac was delivered from it. Thou canst not drown him in water, because from water were Moses and the children of Israel saved. Thou canst not throw him into a den of lions, because Daniel was saved from it. Therefore, make a gallows fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak to the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon. For thus far not one of them who was hanged on the gallows was delivered. After that, go with the king to the banqueting-house with joy." This advice pleased Haman, and he made a gallows for himself.
