(כא) בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֔ם וּמָרְדֳּכַ֖י יֹשֵׁ֣ב בְּשַֽׁעַר־הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ קָצַף֩ בִּגְתָ֨ן וָתֶ֜רֶשׁ שְׁנֵֽי־סָרִיסֵ֤י הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ מִשֹּׁמְרֵ֣י הַסַּ֔ף וַיְבַקְשׁוּ֙ לִשְׁלֹ֣חַ יָ֔ד בַּמֶּ֖לֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵֽרֹשׁ׃

(21) At that time, when Mordecai was sitting in the palace gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king’s officials who guarded the threshold, became angry, and plotted to do away with King Ahasuerus.

Do you know?

Bigtan and Teresh didn't know it, but Mordechai heard them talking about their secret plan. Do you remember how the king rewarded Mordechai?

Clue #4

The name, Purim, comes from the Hebrew word for “lots”. The same letters appear in the name of another Jewish holiday which seems like the complete opposite of Purim. The rabbis, though, found a connection between the two holidays and said that in the future the serious holiday will be changed into a happier one, like Purim.

Find the first time that the Hebrew word for lots appears in Megilat Esther and guess in what other holiday the word is hidden.
