מלכים ב ד׳:מ״ב-מ״ד

מבעל שלישה. שם מדינה ויונתן תרגם: מארעא דרומא. 'בעל' לשון 'מישור', והרבה במקרא:

From Ba’al-Shalishah. The name of a province. But [Targum] Yonoson rendered, “from the land toward the south.” “בַּעַל” is an expression meaning “a plain.” There are many [such expressions] in Scripture.

לחם בכורים. בפסח, שהתבואה מבכרת:

Bread from the first crop. It was during Pesach, when the grain ripens.³²Although the word בִּכּוּרִים usually refers to the new crop offering that was brought in the Beis Hamikdosh [see Shemos 34:26], here it merely means “bread from the first crop,” without reference to the new crop offering.

בצקלונו. בלבושיה:

In their shells. In its wrapper.³³I.e., the grains were still in their husks. Alternatively, after grain is toasted and broken up, it is placed in a vessel known as צִקְלוֹן.—Ralbag

לעם. לתלמידים שהיה זן:

To the people. To the disciples [of the prophets] whom he sustained.

מה אתן זה. כל לחם ולחם:

“How will I present this.” Each bread.
