וירקעו. כמו לְרֹקַע הָאָרֶץ (תהלים קלו, ו), כתרגומו וְרַדִּידוּ טַסִּין, היו מרדדין מן הזהב, אשטנ"דרא בלע"ז (אויזדעהנען), טסין דקות. כאן הוא מלמדך היאך היו טווין את הזהב עם החוטין, מרדדים טסין דקין, וקוצצין מהן פתילים לאורך הטס, לעשות אותן פתילים מעורבים עם כל מין ומין בחשן ואפוד, שנאמר בהן זהב, חוט אחד של זהב עם ששה חוטין של תכלת, וכן עם כל מין ומין, שכל המינין חוטן כפול ששה, והזהב חוט שביעי עם כל אחד ואחד:
They beat. As in: “(לְרוֹקַע) He who spreads the earth,” and as Onkelos translates it: “they hammered out.” They hammered out plates from the gold. Estendre in Old French — “to hammer out into thin plates.” Here [the Torah] teaches you how they spun the gold with the threads: they hammered out thin plates from which they would cut threads along the length of the plate, to make threads [which were] combined with each kind [of material thread] separately for the breastplate and the eiphod whenever “gold” is stated; one thread of gold with six threads of greenish-blue wool and so, too, with each of the other kinds, for the strand of each of the kinds was spun six-fold, and the gold was the seventh thread with each.
