וַיִּתְּנוּ יָדָם לְהוֹצִיא נְשֵׁיהֶם וַאֲשֵׁמִים אֵֽיל־צֹאן עַל־אַשְׁמָתָֽם׃ {ס}
And they took counsel to send away their wives, and they were made to bring (as an offering) a ram of the flock for their guilt [(an extraordinary ruling, for that contingency)].

על אשמתם. הוראת שעה היתה:
for their guilt This was a temporary ruling.
ידם. עצתם כמו הנה יד יואב אתך בכל זאת (שמואל ב י״ד:י״ט):
And they advised them Heb. וַיִתְּנוּ יָדָם, lit. and they gave their hand, their advice, like (II Sam. 14:19): “Behold Joab’s advice (יַד יוֹאָב) is with you in all this (sic).”
