וַיְהִי הַיּוֹם וַיֹּאמֶר יוֹנָתָן בֶּן־שָׁאוּל אֶל־הַנַּעַר נֹשֵׂא כֵלָיו לְכָה וְנַעְבְּרָה אֶל־מַצַּב פְּלִשְׁתִּים אֲשֶׁר מֵעֵבֶר הַלָּז וּלְאָבִיו לֹא הִגִּֽיד׃
It happened one day that Yonoson son of Shaul said to the youth who carried his weapons, "Come, let us cross over to the Philistine garrison which is on the other side." But he did not tell his father.

Rashi
מעבר הלז. גי שני ההרים:
On the other side. Of the valley [between] the two mountains.
וְשָׁאוּל יוֹשֵׁב בִּקְצֵה הַגִּבְעָה תַּחַת הָרִמּוֹן אֲשֶׁר בְּמִגְרוֹן וְהָעָם אֲשֶׁר עִמּוֹ כְּשֵׁשׁ מֵאוֹת אִֽישׁ׃
Shaul was staying at the edge of Givoh, under the pomegranate tree which was in Migron; and the people who were with him, were about six hundred men.

Rashi
בקצה הגבעה. בסוף הגבעה:
At the edge of Givah. At the end of Givah.
וַאֲחִיָּה בֶן־אֲחִטוּב אֲחִי אִיכָבוֹד ׀ בֶּן־פִּֽינְחָס בֶּן־עֵלִי כֹּהֵן ׀ יְהֹוָה בְּשִׁלוֹ נֹשֵׂא אֵפוֹד וְהָעָם לֹא יָדַע כִּי הָלַךְ יוֹנָתָֽן׃
Achiyoh son of Achitov, brother of Ichavod, son of Pinchas, son of Eili the kohein of Adonoy in Shiloh, wore the Eiphod. The people did not know that Yonoson had gone.

Rashi
נשא אפוד. אורים ותומים:
Wore the Eiphod. Meaning the Urim and Tumim.
וּבֵין הַֽמַּעְבְּרוֹת אֲשֶׁר בִּקֵּשׁ יֽוֹנָתָן לַעֲבֹר עַל־מַצַּב פְּלִשְׁתִּים שֵׁן־הַסֶּלַע מֵהָעֵבֶר מִזֶּה וְשֵׁן־הַסֶּלַע מֵהָעֵבֶר מִזֶּה וְשֵׁם הָאֶחָד בּוֹצֵץ וְשֵׁם הָאֶחָד סֶֽנֶּה׃
Between the passes that Yonoson wanted to cross to the Philistine garrison, there was a rocky precipice on one side and a rocky precipice on the other side; one was named Botzetz and the other was named Seneh.

Rashi
ובין המעברות אשר בקש יונתן לעבור. כן היה עשוי, שן הסלע היה מהעבר מזה לבין המעברות מזה, ושן הסלע לבין המעברות מזה הגיא הוא קרוי בין המעברות, והיה לו סלע מכאן, וסלע מכאן, זה בעברו מזה, וזה בעברו מזה, והגיא בין שני העברים, אותו הגיא בקש יונתן לעבור:
Between the passes that Yonoson wanted to cross. It was thus made: There was a rocky precipice from this side of 'between the passes,' and there was a rocky precipice from the other side of 'between the passes.' The valley is called 'between the passes,' and it had a stone from here, and a stone from here, one on this side and one on the other side, and the valley was between the two passes. It was that valley that Yonoson wanted to cross.
שן הסלע. שם שן האחד 'בוצץ', ושם השני 'סנה':
Rocky precipice. The name of one precipice was Botzeitz and the name of the second was Seneh.1 The names of the two rocky crags are indicative of their terrain. Botzeitz as implied by its name, had a smooth and slippery surface making it very difficult to scale. Seneh had a “treaded on” surface.—Radak
הַשֵּׁן הָאֶחָד מָצוּק מִצָּפוֹן מוּל מִכְמָשׂ וְהָאֶחָד מִנֶּגֶב מוּל גָּֽבַע׃ {ס}
One precipice jutted out from the north, towards Michmos, and the other was from the south, towards Geva.
One precipice jutted out from the north, towards Michmos, and the other was from the south, towards Geva.
Rashi
מצוק מצפון. משופע ועולה מצד צפון אל מכמש:
Jutted out from the north. Slanting from the north side toward Michmos.
מול גבע. שממנה יצא יהונתן:
Toward Geva. From where Yonoson emerged.
מעבר הלז כל 'הלז' ו'לזה' שבמקרא, אינו לשון הזה, אלא לשון דבר שכנגדו, והוא מראהו באצבע, ובלע"ז אינו לשון ציש"ט בלע"ז, אלא ציי"ל בלע"ז:
On the other side. Every הַלָּז and לָזֶה in Scripture, is not an expression of הַזֶּה [this], but it is an expression of opposite [the speaker], and he is pointing it out with his finger. It is not an expression of 'cest' in O.F., but of 'cel' in O.F.
