Reply To: Bereishis – Tying the End of the Torah to the beginning.

The gemora in Meseches Chulin (139,2) says that Haman’s punishment is evident as Adam Harishon’s by the Eitz Hadaas.

The Chasam Sofer explains that by Haman’s seuda they could have filled themselves up ahead of time. The seuda would have been an achila gasa, overeating shlo kaderech achiloson, not the normal way of consumption, where accumulation does not apply as when we are eating again is in an allowed way. Since they did not do that, they were responsible. However, the Chasam Sofer explains that this seuda was made by Achashverus as a celebration for not building the Beis hamikdash, so attending was a admission of a’z where even a tiny amount was also forbidden. Therefore, according the Meharshal in Makus 24, shlo kaderech was also forbidden which makes Haman responsible for forcing them as the above advice was not possible. Similarly, by Adam Harishon, eating from the eitz hadaas was a question of emunah bordering on a’z, so a small amount, as described above, was also forbidden and therefore he got punished.
