חוץ ממקרא מגילה - ואם תאמר נר חנוכה כבר פסקו הנביאים אבל בימי מרדכי היו חגי זכריה ומלאכי: Except for the reading of the Megillah (Scroll of Esther): But perhaps you will say, [also] the light of Channukah! [However,] the prophets had already ceased. Whereas in the days of Mordechai, there was Chaggai, Zechariah and Malakhi (they were still alive).
