Rashi

אל פלשתים. על פלשתים:

בטרם יכה פרעה את עזה. כשהיה נבוכדנצר צר על ירושלים בשנה העשירית לצדקיהו יצא חיל פרעה ממצרים ויעלו הכשדים מעל ירושלים שמע פרעה ושטף את עזה ושב לארצו בסדר עולם:

47:2

כֹּה ׀ אָמַר יְהֹוָה הִנֵּה־מַיִם עֹלִים מִצָּפוֹן וְהָיוּ לְנַחַל שׁוֹטֵף וְיִשְׁטְפוּ אֶרֶץ וּמְלוֹאָהּ עִיר וְיֹשְׁבֵי בָהּ וְזָעֲקוּ הָאָדָם וְהֵילִל כֹּל יוֹשֵׁב הָאָֽרֶץ׃

Thus says the Lord; Behold, waters rise up out of the north, and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow the land, and all its fullness; the city, and those who dwell in it; then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land shall howl.

47:3

מִקּוֹל שַֽׁעֲטַת פַּרְסוֹת אַבִּירָיו מֵרַעַשׁ לְרִכְבּוֹ הֲמוֹן גַּלְגִּלָּיו לֹא־הִפְנוּ אָבוֹת אֶל־בָּנִים מֵרִפְיוֹן יָדָֽיִם׃

At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his stallions, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers do not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;

At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his stallions, at the rushing of his chariots, at the rumbling of his wheels, the fathers do not look back to their children for feebleness of hands;

Rashi

שעטת. אין לו דמיון ויונתן תרגמו מפסועית:

מרעש לרכבו. מרעש אשר לרכבו:

גלגליו. אופני מרכבותיו:

לא הפנו אבות אל בנים. להצילם:

47:4

עַל־הַיּוֹם הַבָּא לִשְׁדוֹד אֶת־כׇּל־פְּלִשְׁתִּים לְהַכְרִית לְצֹר וּלְצִידוֹן כֹּל שָׂרִיד עֹזֵר כִּֽי־שֹׁדֵד יְהֹוָה אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּים שְׁאֵרִית אִי כַפְתּֽוֹר׃

because of the day that comes to spoil all the Pelishtim, and to cut off from Żor and Żidon every helper that remains: for the Lord will spoil the Pelishtim, the remnant of the country of Kaftor.

Rashi

להכרית לצור ולצידון. פלשתים היו עוזרים אותם מאויביהם:

אי כפתור. איזל"ש בלע"ז:

47:5

בָּאָה קׇרְחָה אֶל־עַזָּה נִדְמְתָה אַשְׁקְלוֹן שְׁאֵרִית עִמְקָם עַד־מָתַי תִּתְגּוֹדָֽדִי׃

Baldness is come upon ῾Azza; Ashqelon is cut off; O remnant of their valley, how long wilt thou gash thyself?

Baldness is come upon ῾Azza; Ashqelon is cut off; O remnant of their valley, how long wilt thou gash thyself?

Rashi

נדמתה. נחרבה:

תתגודדי. תשרטי באבל ובבכי:

47:6

הוֹי חֶרֶב לַיהֹוָה עַד־אָנָה לֹא תִשְׁקֹטִי הֵאָֽסְפִי אֶל־תַּעְרֵךְ הֵרָגְעִי וָדֹֽמִּי׃

O thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

O thou sword of the Lord, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.

Rashi

חרב לה'. שהקב"ה מביא לעולם:

הרגעי. לשון מרגוע:

47:7

אֵיךְ תִּשְׁקֹטִי וַיהֹוָה צִוָּה־לָהּ אֶֽל־אַשְׁקְלוֹן וְאֶל־חוֹף הַיָּם שָׁם יְעָדָֽהּ׃ {פ}

How can it be quiet, seeing the Lord has given it a charge against Ashqelon, and against the sea shore? there he has appointed it.
