okay we're in chapter 4 we on page 1255 can I ask a a question sure sure so it says on 1253 that Mori adopted Esther as a daughter right yeah but it seems like you were implying yesterday that or not yesterday sorry like last week that really they were married so I didn't say really what I said was there is a difference of opinion about this subject whether they were really married or not before that he adopted her as a daughter you can't marry your daughter right yes that's true but we know who she was she was his first cousin we know that yeah okay and you can marry your first cousin you could and adopting someone doesn't change who you can marry so that's not really an issue but the point is that once you say he raised her then to say he took her as a daughter it's poetry and sometimes the texts do engage in poetry and then it says it again when she goes into a that he took her to be a daughter like so what what it got to do with her going into a so it sounds like the text is delicately indicating to you that there was more going on there than and I said it's a difference of opinion it's not proven not not the fact it's just this difference of opinion which means everything in the scenario has to be worked out both ways right okay now um so here we are at the very bottom of page 1255 and now starts a an Exquisite interaction between Mor and Esther which as I indicated last time is a model for husband wife relations for friendship for for sensitive interactions across the board anyway morai is crying in the streets wearing sackcloth and Esther has no idea why that's happening so Esther's mates
