וַיֹּאמֶר חַרְבוֹנָה אֶחָד מִן־הַסָּרִיסִים לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ גַּם הִנֵּה־הָעֵץ אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂה הָמָן לְֽמׇרְדֳּכַי אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר־טוֹב עַל־הַמֶּלֶךְ עֹמֵד בְּבֵית הָמָן גָּבֹהַּ חֲמִשִּׁים אַמָּה וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ תְּלֻהוּ עָלָֽיו׃

וַיִּתְלוּ אֶת־הָמָן עַל־הָעֵץ אֲשֶׁר־הֵכִין לְמׇרְדֳּכָי וַחֲמַת הַמֶּלֶךְ שָׁכָֽכָה׃ {פ}
They hung Haman from the gallows which he had prepared for Mordechai, and the king’s anger dissipated.

גם הנה העץ. גם רעה אחרת עשה שהכין העץ לתלות אוהבו של מלך שהציל המלך מסם המות:
Moreover, there is the gallows. He “also” committed another evil, that he prepared the gallows to hang the king’s friend, who saved the king from [being] poison[ed].
