מלאכי ג׳:י״ט-כ״א

כִּי הִנֵּה הַיּוֹם בָּא. יוֹם זֶה לְשׁוֹן שֶׁמֶשׁ הוּא, שֶׁכָּךְ אָמְרוּ חֲכָמִים: אֵין גֵּיהִנֹּם לֶעָתִיד לָבֹא, אֶלָּא הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מוֹצִיא חַמָּה מִנַּרְתִּיקָהּ, וּרְשָׁעִים נִדּוֹנִים בָּהּ, וְצַדִּיקִים מִתְרַפְּאִין בָּהּ. וְזֶהוּ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: ״וְזָרְחָה לָכֶם יִרְאֵי וְגוֹ׳״.

For lo, the sun comes This instance of יוֹם is an expression of sun, for so did the Sages state that there will be no Gehinnom in the future, but the Holy One, blessed be He, will take the sun out of its case; the wicked will be punished thereby and the righteous will be healed thereby. That is the meaning of what is stated (verse 20): “And the sun of mercy shall rise for you who fear My Name, etc.”

שֹׁרֶשׁ וְעָנָף. ״בְּרָא וּבַר בְּרָא״.

וְעַסּוֹתֶם. וּכְבַשְׁתֶּם. לְשׁוֹן מִעוּךְ, וְדוֹמֶה לוֹ: ״וְשָׁם עָשׂוּ דַּדֵּי בְּתוּלֵיהֶן״ (יחזקאל כג:ג).

And you shall crush and you shall press. This is an expression of pressing, similar to (Ezek. 23: 8) “they pressed their virgin breasts.”
