Huh?
editThe text says, Megillah (Hebrew: מְגִילָּה) is the tenth Tractate of Mishnah in the Order Moed. It and its Gemara deal with the laws of Purim and offers exegetical understandings to the Book of Esther.
I’m reasonably literate, in fact extraordinarily literate, and I have no idea what this means. I can’t even answer, whether Megillah is an object, and if so, is it animal, mineral of vegetable. Book of Esher is, I believe, a mystical tome. I quoted the text to a learned friend of mine, and he said he can’t imagine what I had got, but that Megillah is just an accurate description of something, like a legal or scientific passage would require. When I asked if there was any mystical or religious connotation to it, he said “none at all”. I was too embarrassed to tell him it came from Wikipedia. He was correct, or course, and the wiki text is jibberish. Sbalfour (talk) 02:32, 5 January 2021 (UTC)
