Hebrew · Jerusalem Talmud, ed. Guggenheimer (Hebrew/Aramaic)הלכה: כְּתִיב בִּפְרוֹעַ פְּרָעוֹת בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּהִתְנַדֵּב עָם בָּרְכוּ יְי. הִתְנַדְּבוּ רָאשֵׁי עָם. כְּשֶׁהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא עוֹשֶׂה לָכֶם נִיסִּים יְהוּא אוֹמְרִין שִׁירָה. הְתִיבוֹן. הֲרֵי גְאולַּת מִצְרַיִם. שַׁנְיָיא הִיא. שֶׁהִיא תְחִילַּת גְּאוּלָּתָן. הֲרֲי מָרְדְּכַי וְאֶסְתֵּר. שַׁנְיָיא הִיא. שֶׁהָיוּ בְחוּץ לָאָרֶץ. וְאִית דְּבָעֵי מִימַר. מָרְדְּכַי וְאֶסְתֵּר מִשּׂוֹנְאֵיהֶם נִגְאֲלוּ. לֹא נִגְאֲלוּ מִן הַמַּלְכוּת.
English · Heinrich W. GuggenheimerHALAKHAH: it is written: When retribution is retributed for Israel, when the people volunteered, praise the Eternal; the heads of the people volunteered. When the Holy One, praise to Him, does wonders for Israel, they should sing a song. They objected: There is the redemption from Egypt! That is something else since it was the beginning of their redemption. They objected. There is redemption of Mardocai and Esther! That is something else since they were outside the Land; some want to say that Mardocai and Esther were freed of their enemies, they were not freed from [Gentile] government.
