וּבְשׁוּשַׁ֣ן הַבִּירָ֗ה הָרְג֤וּ הַיְּהוּדִים֙ וְאַבֵּ֔ד חֲמֵ֥שׁ מֵא֖וֹת אִֽישׁ׃
און אין דער הױפּטשטאָט שושַן האָבן די ייִדן געהרגעט און אומגעבראַכט פינף הונדערט מאַן.
Megillah
“And Parshandata . . . the ten sons of Haman” (Esther 9:7-10). R. Adda from Yaffo said: The ten sons of Haman and the word “ten” [which follows] should be said in one breath. What is the reason? Because they all died in one breath. R. Yohanan said: The vav of Vaizata must be lengthened like a boat-pole of the river Librut. What is the reason? Because they were all strung on one pole.
