Commentary for Megillah 3:5

<big><strong>גמ׳</strong></big> מגילה נקראת בי"א מנלן מנלן כדבעינן למימר לקמן חכמים הקילו על הכפרים להיות מקדימין ליום הכניסה כדי שיספקו מים ומזון לאחיהם שבכרכים

GEMARA: "The Megillah is read on the eleventh." How can this be derived? [How can you ask,] ‘Where can this be derived’? Surely it is as we state further on, ‘The Sages made a concession to the villages, allowing them to push the reading forward to the Court day, so that [they should have leisure to] supply food and water for their brethren in the large towns’?
