וַיַּעַל הַגּוֹרָל הַשְּׁלִישִׁי לִבְנֵי זְבוּלֻן לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם וַיְהִי גְּבוּל נַחֲלָתָם עַד־שָׂרִֽיד׃
And the third lot came out in favour of the children of Zevulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was as far as Sarid:
And the third lot came out in favour of the children of Zevulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was as far as Sarid:
וְעָלָה גְבוּלָם ׀ לַיָּמָּה וּמַרְעֲלָה וּפָגַע בְּדַבָּשֶׁת וּפָגַע אֶל־הַנַּחַל אֲשֶׁר עַל־פְּנֵי יׇקְנְעָֽם׃
and their border went up on its western side by Mar῾ala, and reached to Dabbeshet, and reached the wadi that is before Yoqne῾am;
and their border went up on its western side by Mar῾ala, and reached to Dabbeshet, and reached the wadi that is before Yoqne῾am;
וְשָׁב מִשָּׂרִיד קֵדְמָה מִזְרַח הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ עַל־גְּבוּל כִּסְלֹת תָּבֹר וְיָצָא אֶל־הַדָּבְרַת וְעָלָה יָפִֽיעַ׃
and turned from Sarid eastward towards the sunrising unto the border of Kislot-Tavor, and then went on to Daverat, and went up to Yafi᾽a,
and turned from Sarid eastward towards the sunrising unto the border of Kislot-Tavor, and then went on to Daverat, and went up to Yafi᾽a,
Rashi
וּמִשָּׁם עָבַר קֵדְמָה מִזְרָחָה גִּתָּה חֵפֶר עִתָּה קָצִין וְיָצָא רִמּוֹן הַמְּתֹאָר הַנֵּעָֽה׃
and from there passed on along on the east to Gat-ĥefer, to ῾Et-qażin, and went out to Rimmon, from where it reached to Ne῾a;
and from there passed on along on the east to Gat-ĥefer, to ῾Et-qażin, and went out to Rimmon, from where it reached to Ne῾a;
Rashi
קדמה מזרחה גתה חפר. ממזרח לגת החפר, שם עירו של יונה בן אמיתי (מלכים ב יד כה):
East of Gitoh-cheifer. To the east of Gat-hacheifer which is the name of the city of [the prophet] Yonah ben Amtai.
עתה קצין. שם העיר עתה קצין:
Ittoh-kotzin. This was the name of the city.
המתואר הנעה. המוסב על נעה, כלומר משם תאר הגבול לנעה, וכן תרגם יונתן: ונפיק לרמון ומתמן מסתחר לנעה:
It circled around to Neioh. [From Rimmon] it circled to Neioh. In other words, from there, the boundary circled around to Neioh. Targum Yonason also explains it this way: “It extended to Rimmon, and from there it circled to Neioh.”3Rashi goes to great pain to refute those who say that the word הַמְתאָר is connected to רִמוֹן and thus translate, Rimon-misoar as though this was the name of the city.
וְנָסַב אֹתוֹ הַגְּבוּל מִצְּפוֹן חַנָּתֹן וְהָיוּ תֹּצְאֹתָיו גֵּי יִפְתַּח־אֵֽל׃
and the border turned about on the north side to Ḥannaton: and its terminations were in the valley of Yiftaĥ-el:
and the border turned about on the north side to Ḥannaton: and its terminations were in the valley of Yiftaĥ-el:
וְקַטָּת וְנַהֲלָל וְשִׁמְרוֹן וְיִדְאֲלָה וּבֵית לָחֶם עָרִים שְׁתֵּים־עֶשְׂרֵה וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃
and Qattat, and Nahalal, and Shimron, and Yid᾽ala and Bet-leĥem: twelve cities with their villages.
and Qattat, and Nahalal, and Shimron, and Yid᾽ala and Bet-leĥem: twelve cities with their villages.
זֹאת נַֽחֲלַת בְּנֵי־זְבוּלֻן לְמִשְׁפְּחוֹתָם הֶעָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן׃ {פ}
This is the inheritance of the children of Zevulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.
This is the inheritance of the children of Zevulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.
כסלות תבור. אומר אני שהוא לשון כסלים, פלנק"ש בלע"ז, לא בגובהו ולא בשיפולו אלא בשיפועו וסמוך לאמצעו קרוב לצד אחורים ומלצד פניו, כדרך שהכסלים עומדות בבהמה, ובמקום שהוא אומר (להלן פסוק לד): אזנות תבור, סמוך לראשו הוא במקום האזנים:
Kislos-tovor. I say that [כִּסְלוֹת] is an expression of flanks, כְּסָלִים, flancs in old French. This is similar to what is stated in Vayikro 3:4. It is not at its highest point and not at its bottom, but on its slope, near the middle, closer to the rear, than the front, like the flanks of an animal. [Thus in this verse it reads the flanks of Mt. Tabor]. However when Scripture states, Oznos-Tavor, it refers to a place near its top, the place where the ears are situated.
