Review
  • Mishna- walled from the time of yehoshua
    • Why- use a gezayra sheva- the word prazi means large city, and appears in two pesukim. It apeears in the meggilah when it tells the jews in the large citys to read on the 14th. In devariam, it also mentions prazi. Because of the gezayra sheva, it means a large city from the time of yehosua.
  • Rav Yehosuha- from the time of achashverosh
    • Why- we are talking about shushan, and shushan was from the time of ahasverosh
