14:1

הִנֵּה יֽוֹם־בָּא לַיהֹוָה וְחֻלַּק שְׁלָלֵךְ בְּקִרְבֵּֽךְ׃

Behold, the day of the Lord comes, when thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

Behold, the day of the Lord comes, when thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

Rashi

הנה יום וגו'. חביב להקב"ה:

Behold! A day of the Lord is coming A day dear to the Lord.

וחולק שללך בקרבך. שלל שתשללי מאויבים יחלקו יושביך בקרבך וכן ת"י ויפלגון ב"י נכסי עממיא בגויך ירושלם:

and your plunder shall be shared within you Those dwelling within you shall share the plunder that you shall plunder [from] the enemies. And so does Jonathan render: And the house of Israel shall share the wealth of the peoples in your midst, O Jerusalem.

14:2

וְאָסַפְתִּי אֶת־כׇּל־הַגּוֹיִם ׀ אֶֽל־יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם לַמִּלְחָמָה וְנִלְכְּדָה הָעִיר וְנָשַׁסּוּ הַבָּתִּים וְהַנָּשִׁים (תשגלנה) [תִּשָּׁכַבְנָה] וְיָצָא חֲצִי הָעִיר בַּגּוֹלָה וְיֶתֶר הָעָם לֹא יִכָּרֵת מִן־הָעִֽיר׃

For I will gather all the nations against Yerushalayim to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go into exile, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

For I will gather all the nations against Yerushalayim to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go into exile, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

Rashi

ויתר העם לא יכרת. לא יגלו כולם ולמה יניחם להגלות חצים ולשסות הבתים כדי שלא יהא להם פתחון פה לאמר לא למלחמה באנו כי אם להשתחוות באנו:

and the rest of the people Not all of them will be exiled. Now, why will He permit them [i.e., the gentile nations] to exile half of them and to plunder the houses? So that they should not have an excuse, saying, “We have not come for war, but we have come to prostrate ourselves.”

14:3

וְיָצָא יְהֹוָה וְנִלְחַם בַּגּוֹיִם הָהֵם כְּיוֹם הִֽלָּחֲמוֹ בְּיוֹם קְרָֽב׃

Then shall the Lord go out, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

Then shall the Lord go out, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

Rashi

כיום הלחמו ביום קרב. כיום אגחותיה קרב על ימא דסוף:

like the day he waged war on the day of battle Like the day He waged war on the Red Sea.

14:4

וְעָמְדוּ רַגְלָיו בַּיּוֹם־הַהוּא עַל־הַר הַזֵּיתִים אֲשֶׁר עַל־פְּנֵי יְרֽוּשָׁלַ͏ִם מִקֶּדֶם וְנִבְקַע הַר הַזֵּיתִים מֵֽחֶצְיוֹ מִזְרָחָה וָיָמָּה גֵּיא גְּדוֹלָה מְאֹד וּמָשׁ חֲצִי הָהָר צָפוֹנָה וְחֶצְיוֹ־נֶֽגְבָּה׃

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Yerushalayim on the east, and the mount of Olives shall be split along the middle of it by a very great valley from east to west; and half of the mountain shall be removed towards the north, and half of it, towards the south.

And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Yerushalayim on the east, and the mount of Olives shall be split along the middle of it by a very great valley from east to west; and half of the mountain shall be removed towards the north, and half of it, towards the south.

Rashi

מחציו. מאמצעיתו:

in the midst thereof lit., from its half

מזרחה וימה. מן המזרח למערב כמו שמסיים והולך:

toward the east and toward the west From east to west, as he goes on and concludes.

ומש חצי ההר צפונה וגו'. חציו הצפוני ימוש ממקומו וימשך לצד צפון וכן מצינו חציו נגבה לצד דרום ויהיה הגיא ביניהם ראשו למזרח וסופו למערב:

and half the mountain shall move to the north, etc. The northern half shall move from its place and draw toward the north, and so... and half of it to the south Toward the south; and the valley between them will have its beginning to the east and its end to the west.

14:5

וְנַסְתֶּם גֵּיא־הָרַי כִּי־יַגִּיעַ גֵּֽי־הָרִים אֶל־אָצַל וְנַסְתֶּם כַּאֲשֶׁר נַסְתֶּם מִפְּנֵי הָרַעַשׁ בִּימֵי עֻזִּיָּה מֶלֶךְ־יְהוּדָה וּבָא יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי כׇּל־קְדֹשִׁים עִמָּֽךְ׃

And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Ażel: and you shall flee, just as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of ῾Uzziyya king of Yehuda: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the holy ones with thee.

And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Ażel: and you shall flee, just as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of ῾Uzziyya king of Yehuda: and the Lord my God shall come, and all the holy ones with thee.

Rashi

ונסתם גיא הרי. י"ת ויסתתים גיא הרי לפי שירושלים הרים סביב לה ויש גיא בין הר שבצפון ובין הר הזיתים וכן בדרום וכשימשך חצי ההר הזיתים אצל הר שבצפונו יסתתם הגיא שביניהם וכן בדרום:

And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains Jonathan renders. And the valley of the mountains shall be stopped up. Since Jerusalem is surrounded by mountains, and there is a valley between the mountains in the north and the Mount of Olives, and [this is also] so in the south, when half of the Mount of Olives draws toward the mountain in the north, the valley between them will be stopped up. [This will also be] so in the south.

כי יגיע. גובה גיא שהיה בין ההרים:

shall reach The height of the valley that will be between the mountains.

אל אצל. אל גובה ראשי ההרים שמכאן ומכאן וכן חברו מנחם (ישעיהו מ״א:ט׳) ומאציליה קראתיך ופירושו ל' גובה:

to Azal To the height of the mountaintops that are from either side. So did Menahem classify this (Machbereth p. 32), with (Isa. 41:9) “and from its nobles I called you.” Its meaning is an expression of height.

ונסתם. בראותכם המופת הגדול הזה:

and you shall flee when you see this great wonder.

כאשר נסתם מפני הרעש. (שם) ויניעו אמות הסיפים ביום שנתנגע עוזיה:

as you fled because of the earthquake [Isa. 6:4] “And the doorposts quaked” on the day that Uzziah was stricken with zaraath.

כל קדושים. מלאכים:

all holy ones Angels.

14:6

וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא לֹֽא־יִֽהְיֶה אוֹר יְקָרוֹת (יקפאון) [וְקִפָּאֽוֹן]׃

And it shall come to pass on that day, that there shall neither be bright light nor thick darkness;

And it shall come to pass on that day, that there shall neither be bright light nor thick darkness;

Rashi

לא יהיה אור יקרות וקפאון. י"ת לא יהיה נהורא אלהין עדי וגליד יהי נהורא לא יהיה אור נוגה כי יקרות וקפאון יהי' יקרות ל' כיקר כרים (תהלים לז) הוא כמין אור הנראה שחרית על ההרים וכלה והולך:

there shall be no light, only disappearing light and thick darkness Jonathan renders. There shall not be light, only light that passes away, and thickness, i.e., there shall not be splendrous light, only יְקָרוֹת and קִפָּאוֹן shall [there] be. יְקָרוֹת An expression similar to (Ps. 37:20), “like the disappearing light over the plains.” Like a sort of light that appears in the morning over the mountains and disappears little by little.

וקפאון. קפוי וחשוך ועב כקרח שנקפה ומגליד כמו וכגבינה תקפיאני (איוב י):

וְקִפָּאוֹן Congealed and dark and thick, like ice that is congealed and frozen, as in (Job 10: 10), “And like cheese You curdled me.”

14:7

וְהָיָה יוֹם־אֶחָד הוּא יִוָּדַע לַיהֹוָה לֹא־יוֹם וְלֹא־לָיְלָה וְהָיָה לְעֵֽת־עֶרֶב יִֽהְיֶה־אֽוֹר׃

but it shall be one particular day which shall be known as the Lord’s, neither day, nor night: but it shall come to pass that at evening time, there will be light.

but it shall be one particular day which shall be known as the Lord’s, neither day, nor night: but it shall come to pass that at evening time, there will be light.

Rashi

והיה יום אחד. והיה הדבר הזה יום אחד מיומו של הקב"ה הוא היום ידוע שהוא להכנת ישעו של הקב"ה:

And it shall be one day And this thing shall be one day of the day of the Holy One, blessed be He. That day shall be known, that it is for the preparation of the salvation by the Holy One, blessed be He.

לא יום ולא לילה. לא אור נוגה באור של עולם הבא שנא' (ישעיהו ל׳:כ״ו) ואור החמה יהיה שבעתים כאור וגומר:

neither day Neither [will it be] a light of splendor, like the light of the world to come, as it is stated (Isa. 30:26): “The light of the sun shall be sevenfold as the light of the seven days.”

ולא לילה. ולא עת צרה כצרת שיעבוד גליות שמקודם שימי משיחנו יהיו ואין בהם שיעבוד:

nor night Nor a time of trouble, like the trouble of the preceding subjugation by the kingdoms, shall [these days] be, for they will be the days of the Messiah, and there shall be no subjugation during these days.

והיה לעת ערב. קודם שיגמרו אלף שנה יהיה אור הנוגה וכל הטוב האמור על ישראל וכן ת"י לא כנהור יומא ולא כקבל ליליא:

and it shall come to pass that at eventide Before the thousand years are up there shall be a splendrous light, and all the good promised to Israel [will come]. And so did Jonathan translate: Not like the light of day and not like the darkness of night.

14:8

וְהָיָה ׀ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יֵצְאוּ מַֽיִם־חַיִּים מִירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם חֶצְיָם אֶל־הַיָּם הַקַּדְמוֹנִי וְחֶצְיָם אֶל־הַיָּם הָאַחֲרוֹן בַּקַּיִץ וּבָחֹרֶף יִֽהְיֶֽה׃

And on that day, living waters shall go out from Yerushalayim; half of them towards the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

And on that day, living waters shall go out from Yerushalayim; half of them towards the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

Rashi

והיה ביום ההוא. כשיבקע הר הזיתים מן המזרח למערב:

And it shall come to pass on that day when the Mount of Olives will split from east to west.

יצאו מים חיים מירושלים. וילכו למזרח דרך אותה בקיעה עד הים הקדמוני שהוא למזרחו של עולם קדמה וחציו יפנה למערב אל ים המערבי הוא המעיין שניבא יואל (שם ד) ומעיין מבית ה' יצא הוא הנחל שניבא (יחזקאל מ״ז:ד׳) וימד אלף ויעבירני במים וגו':

spring water shall come forth from Jerusalem and flow to the east by way of the crevice to... the eastern sea which is to the east of the world; and half of it will turn to the west, to the western sea. This is the spring concerning which Joel (4:18) prophesied: “And a spring shall emanate from the house of the Lord.” That is the spring concerning which Ezekiel (47:3) prophesied: “And he measured a thousand cubits and he made me pass through the water.”

14:9

וְהָיָה יְהֹוָה לְמֶלֶךְ עַל־כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יִהְיֶה יְהֹוָה אֶחָד וּשְׁמוֹ אֶחָֽד׃

And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: on that day the Lord shall be one, and his name One.

And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: on that day the Lord shall be one, and his name One.

Rashi

יהיה ה' אחד. שכל האומות יעזבו הבליהם ויודו לו שהוא אחד ואין עמו אל נכר:

shall the Lord be one For all the nations shall abandon their vanities and acknowledge Him, that He is one, and [that] no strange deity is with Him.

ושמו אחד. שיהא שמו נזכר בפי כולם:

and His name one That His name shall be mentioned by everyone.

14:10

יִסּוֹב כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ כָּֽעֲרָבָה מִגֶּבַע לְרִמּוֹן נֶגֶב יְרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וְֽרָאֲמָה וְיָשְׁבָה תַחְתֶּיהָ לְמִשַּׁעַר בִּנְיָמִן עַד־מְקוֹם שַׁעַר הָֽרִאשׁוֹן עַד־שַׁעַר הַפִּנִּים וּמִגְדַּל חֲנַנְאֵל עַד יִקְבֵי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃

All the land shall be changed like the ῾Arava from Geva to Rimmon south of Yerushalayim; whilst she shall be lifted up, and shall remain in her place, from the gate of Binyamin to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Ḥanan᾽el to the king’s winepresses.

All the land shall be changed like the ῾Arava from Geva to Rimmon south of Yerushalayim; whilst she shall be lifted up, and shall remain in her place, from the gate of Binyamin to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Ḥanan᾽el to the king’s winepresses.

Rashi

יסוב כל הארץ. יהפך להיות כל הארץ כערבה, ישפלו ההרים ויהי כל העולם כולו מישור וירושלים הר כדי שתראה גבוה על הכל:

The whole earth shall be changed The whole earth shall be changed to be like a plain. The mountains will be lowered, and the whole world will be a plain; and Jerusalem will be a mountain, so that it should appear higher than everything [else in the world].

מגבע לרמון נגב ירושלים. שנינו בתוספתא דסוטה נגב ירושלים מישור הוא וגבע רמון טרשין וקרקשין וכן פתרונו מגבע לרמון שהוא מקום הרים משם יתחילו להיות נהפכין לערבה ולמישור ויהיו דומין לנגב ירושלים שהוא מישור:

from the hill of Rimmon We learned in Tosefta of Sotah (11:14): South of Jerusalem is a plain, and the hill of Rimmon is rocks and clods. Rather, so is [the] interpretation [of this phrase]: From the hill of Rimmon, which is a mountainous place from there [the mountains of the world] will begin to be changed, to [be] a plain; and they will be like the south of Jerusalem, which is a plain.

וראמה. מתוך שכל סביבה מישור תראה היא גבוה:

but it will be elevated high Since its entire environs are a plain, it will appear high.

וישבה תחתיה. במקומה:

and remain in its old place in its place

עד שער הפנים ומגדל חננאל. גם הוא במקומו ומשם ימשך אורך העיר עד יקבי המלך ת"י שיחי דמלכא פושיי"ן בלע"ז וכמו (ב"ק נ:) שיחין ומערות וכן כל יקבים שבמקרא לשון שיחין הם בור שלפני הגת שהיין זב לתוכו ומדרש אגדה יקבי מלך ים אוקיינוס שתגיע ירושלים עד סוף כל העולם יקבים שחצבם מלך מלכי המלכים:

until the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel which will also be in its place; and from there shall extend the length of the city until the king’s wine-cellars Jonathan renders: the pits off the king, fosec in Old French. [This is] like [a word in] Baba Kamma 50b, “trenches and caves.” And so, all wine cellars in Scripture are expressions of trenches, referring to the pit that is before the wine press, into which the wine flows. And the Midrash Aggadah (Pesikta d’Rav Kahana p. 143a; Song Rabbah 7:4, cf. Mattenoth Kehunnah, Radal) [identifies] the pits of the king with the ocean: that Jerusalem will reach the end of the whole world, the pits dug out by the supreme King of kings.

14:11

וְיָשְׁבוּ בָהּ וְחֵרֶם לֹא יִֽהְיֶה־עוֹד וְיָשְׁבָה יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם לָבֶֽטַח׃ {ס}        

And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Yerushalayim shall dwell secure.

And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Yerushalayim shall dwell secure.

Rashi

וחרם לא יהיה. העיר עוד:

and there shall be no more destruction The city shall no longer be in ruins.

14:12

וְזֹאת ׀ תִּהְיֶה הַמַּגֵּפָה אֲשֶׁר יִגֹּף יְהֹוָה אֶת־כׇּל־הָעַמִּים אֲשֶׁר צָבְאוּ עַל־יְרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם הָמֵק ׀ בְּשָׂרוֹ וְהוּא עֹמֵד עַל־רַגְלָיו וְעֵינָיו תִּמַּקְנָה בְחֹֽרֵיהֶן וּלְשׁוֹנוֹ תִּמַּק בְּפִיהֶֽם׃

And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will smite all the peoples that have fought against Yerushalayim; their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will smite all the peoples that have fought against Yerushalayim; their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Rashi

המק בשרו והוא עומד. זה ניפול איברים:

his flesh will waste away while he still stands This denotes the falling off of the limbs.

14:13

וְהָיָה בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא תִּהְיֶה מְהֽוּמַת־יְהֹוָה רַבָּה בָּהֶם וְהֶחֱזִיקוּ אִישׁ יַד רֵעֵהוּ וְעָלְתָה יָדוֹ עַל־יַד רֵעֵֽהוּ׃

And it shall come to pass on that day, that a great panic from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

And it shall come to pass on that day, that a great panic from the Lord shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

Rashi

תהיה מהומת ה' רבה בהם. לערבב חכמתם להפכם לשגעון:

there will be great consternation, sent by the Lord upon them to confuse their wisdom, to bring them about to madness.

והחזיקו איש יד רעהו. יאחז בו להרגו:

each one will seize the hand of the other He will seize him to slay him.

ועלתה ידו. כל דאלים גבר:

and his hand shall rise up Whoever is stronger is victorious.

14:14

וְגַם־יְהוּדָה תִּלָּחֵם בִּירוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וְאֻסַּף חֵיל כׇּל־הַגּוֹיִם סָבִיב זָהָב וָכֶסֶף וּבְגָדִים לָרֹב מְאֹֽד׃

And Yehuda also shall fight at Yerushalayim; and the wealth of all the nations round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and clothing, in great abundance.

And Yehuda also shall fight at Yerushalayim; and the wealth of all the nations round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and clothing, in great abundance.

Rashi

וגם יהודה. על כרחה תלחם על ישראל:

Yea, even Judah against their will shall fight against Jerusalem.

14:15

וְכֵן תִּהְיֶה מַגֵּפַת הַסּוּס הַפֶּרֶד הַגָּמָל וְהַחֲמוֹר וְכׇל־הַבְּהֵמָה אֲשֶׁר יִֽהְיֶה בַּמַּחֲנוֹת הָהֵמָּה כַּמַּגֵּפָה הַזֹּֽאת׃

And such shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these camps, as this plague.

And such shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these camps, as this plague.

Rashi

כמגפה הזאת. המפורשת למעלה המק בשרו:

similar to this plague which is delineated above, that his flesh shall waste away.

14:16

וְהָיָה כׇּל־הַנּוֹתָר מִכׇּל־הַגּוֹיִם הַבָּאִים עַל־יְרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם וְעָלוּ מִדֵּי שָׁנָה בְשָׁנָה לְהִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֺת לְמֶלֶךְ יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת וְלָחֹג אֶת־חַג הַסֻּכּֽוֹת׃

And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations who came against Yerushalayim, shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of booths.

And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations who came against Yerushalayim, shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the feast of booths.

Rashi

את חג הסוכות. כמו שפירשו רז"ל במס' עכו"ם מצוה קלה יש לי וסוכה שמה כדאיתא בשמעתא ראשונה (דף ג'):

the festival of Tabernacle As our Sages explained in tractate Avodah Zarah (3a): I have an easy commandment named Sukkah, as is stated in the first halachic discussion.

14:17

וְהָיָה אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־יַעֲלֶה מֵאֵת מִשְׁפְּחוֹת הָאָרֶץ אֶל־יְרוּשָׁלַ͏ִם לְהִֽשְׁתַּחֲוֺת לְמֶלֶךְ יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת וְלֹא עֲלֵיהֶם יִהְיֶה הַגָּֽשֶׁם׃

And whoever does not come up of all the families of the earth to Yerushalayim to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, upon them shall be no rain.

And whoever does not come up of all the families of the earth to Yerushalayim to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, upon them shall be no rain.

Rashi

הגשם. גשמים ממש להצמיח פירות ארצם ומה ראה לגזור עליהם עצירת גשמים לפי שמצות החג על הגשמים הם ארבעת מינים שבלולב וניסוך המים לרצות על המים על שהחג זמן גשמי שנה הוא ואלו המפקפקין בחג הסוכות לא עליהם יהיה הגשם כך למדתי בתוספתא דסוכה:

rain Actual rain to cause the produce of their land to grow. Now, what reason did He have for decreeing upon them the withholding of rain? That the commandments of the festival are based on the rains: the four species of the lulav and the water libation are to appease God for water. Since the festival of Tabernacles is the time of the rains of the year, no rain will fall on those who entertain doubts concerning the festival of Tabernacles. This is learned in the Tosefta of Sukkah (4:7).

14:18

וְאִם־מִשְׁפַּחַת מִצְרַיִם לֹֽא־תַעֲלֶה וְלֹא בָאָה וְלֹא עֲלֵיהֶם תִּֽהְיֶה הַמַּגֵּפָה אֲשֶׁר יִגֹּף יְהֹוָה אֶת־הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר לֹא יַעֲלוּ לָחֹג אֶת־חַג הַסֻּכּֽוֹת׃

And if the family of Miżrayim does not go up, and does not come, then they shall have no overflow. This shall be the plague, with which the Lord will smite the nations that shall not come up to keep the feast of booths.

And if the family of Miżrayim does not go up, and does not come, then they shall have no overflow. This shall be the plague, with which the Lord will smite the nations that shall not come up to keep the feast of booths.

Rashi

ואם משפחת מצרים לא תעלה. והן אין צריכים לגשמים שנילוס עולה ומשקה אותם:

And if the family of Egypt does not go up and they do not require rain, for the Nile comes up and waters it [i.e., the land of Egypt].

ולא עליהם. תהיה הגשם שלהם כלומר לא ישקה אותם נילוס וכן תרגום יונתן לא עליהון יסק נילוס:

it shall not [rain] upon them Their rain shall not be upon them; i.e., the Nile will not water them, and so did Jonathan render: The Nile shall not ascend upon them.

תהיה המגפה. של רעב:

the plague will be The plague of famine.

אשר יגוף ה'. זאת תהיה עונש מצרים ועונש כל העכו"ם כמו שאמר לא עליהם יהיה הגשם:

with which the Lord will plague This will be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations, as He states. “upon them there shall be no rain.”

14:19

זֹאת תִּהְיֶה חַטַּאת מִצְרָיִם וְחַטַּאת כׇּל־הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר לֹא יַעֲלוּ לָחֹג אֶת־חַג הַסֻּכּֽוֹת׃

This shall be the punishment of Miżrayim, and the punishment of all nations that do not come up to keep the feast of booths.

This shall be the punishment of Miżrayim, and the punishment of all nations that do not come up to keep the feast of booths.

14:20

בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יִֽהְיֶה עַל־מְצִלּוֹת הַסּוּס קֹדֶשׁ לַיהֹוָה וְהָיָה הַסִּירוֹת בְּבֵית יְהֹוָה כַּמִּזְרָקִים לִפְנֵי הַמִּזְבֵּֽחַ׃

On that day shall there be (inscribed) upon the bells of the horses, Holiness to the Lord; and the pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the basins before the altar.

On that day shall there be (inscribed) upon the bells of the horses, Holiness to the Lord; and the pots in the Lord’s house shall be like the basins before the altar.

Rashi

מצילות הסוס. על הנקישות שתולין לסוס לנוי בין עיניו אף אותן יקדישו לעשות כלי שרת למזרקים לדם ולסירות לבשל בשר זבחים לרוב:

there will be upon the bells of the horses On the bells that are hung on the horse for beauty between its eyes (Pesachim 50a). Those, too, will be consecrated to make service vessels: sprinkling basins for the blood and pots to cook the flesh of the many sacrifices.

והיה הסירות. שהם היו לדשן (את הדשן) אף הם יהיו של זהב ושל כסף כמזרקים אשר לפני המזבח:

Yea, every pot...will be All those that are used to remove the ashes, they too will be of gold and of silver, like the sprinkling basins that are before the altar.

מצילות הסוס. טנטיני"ר בלע"ז:

the bells of the horses tentinonc in Old French.

14:21

וְהָיָה כׇּל־סִיר בִּירוּשָׁלַ͏ִם וּבִיהוּדָה קֹדֶשׁ לַיהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת וּבָאוּ כׇּל־הַזֹּבְחִים וְלָקְחוּ מֵהֶם וּבִשְּׁלוּ בָהֶם וְלֹֽא־יִֽהְיֶה כְנַעֲנִי עוֹד בְּבֵית־יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת בַּיּוֹם הַהֽוּא׃

And every pot in Yerushalayim and in Yehuda shall be sacred to the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and cook in them: and on that day there shall be no more merchants in the house of the Lord of hosts.

And every pot in Yerushalayim and in Yehuda shall be sacred to the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and cook in them: and on that day there shall be no more merchants in the house of the Lord of hosts.

Rashi

ולא יהיה כנעני. לא יצטרכו לסחור כמו (ישעיהו כ״ג:ח׳) כנעניה נכבדי ארץ, ד"א אין כאן עני:

and there will no longer be a trafficker They will not require trafficking, as in (Isa. 23:8): “whose traffickers were the honored of the earth.” Another explanation: There is no poor man here.
