6:28

רָעָב כִּֽי־יִהְיֶה בָאָרֶץ דֶּבֶר כִּֽי־יִהְיֶה שִׁדָּפוֹן וְיֵֽרָקוֹן אַרְבֶּה וְחָסִיל כִּי יִֽהְיֶה כִּי יָצַר־לוֹ אֹיְבָיו בְּאֶרֶץ שְׁעָרָיו כׇּל־נֶגַע וְכׇֽל־מַחֲלָֽה׃

If there should be dearth in the land, if there should be pestilence, if there should be blight, or mildew, locust, or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatever sore or whatever sickness there be:

If there should be dearth in the land, if there should be pestilence, if there should be blight, or mildew, locust, or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatever sore or whatever sickness there be:

Rashi

כל נגע. פתרון הרי זכרתי לך דבר שדפון וירקון נגיפה אף בעצירת גשמים ומה עוד להרבות אלא כל נגע וכל מחלה כי יהיה והתפלל:

whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness (there be) The meaning is: I have mentioned to You pestilence, blast and mildew, being struck down [in battle], and lack of rainfall, and what else can I include, but whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there may be, and he pray and spread forth his hands toward this House, and this is what it says.

6:29

כׇּל־תְּפִלָּה כׇל־תְּחִנָּה אֲשֶׁר יִֽהְיֶה לְכׇל־הָאָדָם וּלְכֹל עַמְּךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר יֵדְעוּ אִישׁ נִגְעוֹ וּמַכְאֹבוֹ וּפָרַשׂ כַּפָּיו אֶל־הַבַּיִת הַזֶּֽה׃

then whatever prayer or whatever supplication shall be made by any man, or by all Thy people Yisra᾽el, (for everyone shall know his own trouble and his own grief,) and he spread out his hands towards this house:

then whatever prayer or whatever supplication shall be made by any man, or by all Thy people Yisra᾽el, (for everyone shall know his own trouble and his own grief,) and he spread out his hands towards this house:

Rashi

ופרש כפיו אל הבית הזה. וזה שאמר כל תפלה וכל תחנה שיתפלל ויתחנן על זאת מכל אחד הדברים האלה:

Any prayer, any supplication that he will pray and supplicate about, concerning any of these matters.

אשר ידעו איש נגעו. כלומר אם יתפלל על נגעו ועל מכאובו להסירו ממנו:

every man shall know his plague i.e., if he pray about his affliction or about his sickness to remove it from him.

6:30

וְאַתָּה תִּשְׁמַע מִן־הַשָּׁמַיִם מְכוֹן שִׁבְתֶּךָ וְסָלַחְתָּ וְנָתַתָּה לָאִישׁ כְּכׇל־דְּרָכָיו אֲשֶׁר תֵּדַע אֶת־לְבָבוֹ כִּי אַתָּה לְבַדְּךָ יָדַעְתָּ אֶת־לְבַב בְּנֵי הָאָדָֽם׃

then hear from heaven Thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every man, whose heart Thou knowst, according to all his ways, (for Thou alone knowst the hearts of the children of men:)

then hear from heaven Thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every man, whose heart Thou knowst, according to all his ways, (for Thou alone knowst the hearts of the children of men:)

Rashi

וסלחת ונתתה לאיש ככל דרכיו וגו'. לרשע כרשעתו ולצדיק כצדקתו שאם לא ישלם לרשע כפי רוע מעלליו יטיח דברים כלפי מעלה ויאמר אין אלהים (אז) יודע לבבו ויהיה חילול השם כמו כן תעשה לצדיק כצדקתו שתעשה לו כשיתפלל לפניך:

and forgive and give to each man according to his ways, etc. to the wicked according to his wickedness and to the righteous according to his righteousness. For if He does not repay the wicked according to his wickedness, he will speak insolently toward Heaven, and he will say, “There is no God.” Then [the thoughts of] his heart will be known, and there will be a profanation of the Name [of God]. Likewise shall You do to the righteous according to his righteousness, which You shall do for him when he prays to You.

6:31

לְמַעַן יִירָאוּךָ לָלֶכֶת בִּדְרָכֶיךָ כׇּל־הַיָּמִים אֲשֶׁר־הֵם חַיִּים עַל־פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָה אֲשֶׁר נָתַתָּה לַאֲבֹתֵֽינוּ׃ {ס}        

that they may fear Thee, to walk in Thy ways, so long as they live on the land which Thou didst give to our fathers.

that they may fear Thee, to walk in Thy ways, so long as they live on the land which Thou didst give to our fathers.

Rashi

למען ייראוך. וישוב הרשע מדרכו ולכך אני מתפלל לתת לו לאיש כדרכיו:

That they may fear You and the wicked will repent of his way; therefore, I pray to give each man according to his ways.
