(Esther 1:5) "In the courtyard of the garden of the king's house." [Of] Rav and Shmuel, one said 'those approved for the courtyard [were brought] to the courtyard; those approved for the garden [were brought] to the garden; those approved for the house [were brought to the house'. And the other said '[Ahashverosh] sat them in the courtyard, but it could not contain them, then in the garden, but it could not contain them; then he brought them into the house and it contained them'. It was taught in a Baraita: He sat them in the courtyard and opened two gates for them, one into the garden, and one into the house.
