What is the meaning of "Hushlachta mi'Kivrecha"?

1.

Refer to 14:19:2:1.

2.

Radak citing Targum Yonasan: You leaned towards the ground.

3.

Radak: You were cast out of the house in which you thought you will live many years. I.e. an evil spirit passed over you from Hashem and cast you out of your house, and you went to live among Chayos.

2)

What is "k'Netzer Nis'av"?

1.

Rashi (from Vayikra Rabah 18:2): It is like a sapling that its owner despises it. He digs and uproots it. So you were cast out of your grave 1 . During the seven years in which Nebuchadnetzar lived among animals, the commoners made his son Evil Merodach 2 king in place of him. When his father returned, he incarcerated him. After he died, they wanted to make his son king again. He feared lest his father return again and kill him. He believed that he was dead only after they took him from the grave and dragged him in front of him.

2.

Malbim: It is a place where they cast animal carcasses.


1

Malbim: This was one of the disgraces in his death. Also refer to 14:19:2:2, 14:19:3:4, 14:19:4:2.

2

Radak: Some versions of the Midrash say that a different son ruled in place of him, and when his father returned, he killed that son.

3)

What is "Levush Harugim Meto'anei Cherev"?

1.

Rashi: In filthy garb, like that of people killed via spears.

2.

Radak: Since it is dirty with blood, a person discards it. Since it is the garment of a killed person, he does not launder it and wear it, for it is not normal to wear it. Also, it was pierced via a sword. "Meto'anei Cherev" repeats "Harugim", to strengthen the matter.

3.

Radak citing his father: "Meto'anei Cherev" is pierced via [people bearing] a sword. This is like "Ta'anu Es Be'irchem" (Bereishis 45:17).

4.

Malbim: They dressed you in garments of people killed via the sword. They illustrated them on your garment to recall the great number that you killed.

4)

What are "Avnei Vor", and what descends to them?

1.

Radak: They are rocks around the buried person; they are used to build the grave. The Mishnah (Chulin 72a) calls them Dofek. The garments descend to them, like the person killed. Even though it said "Levush" (singular), here it is plural. Many verses are like this.

2.

Malbim: They are dead bodies cast naked in a pit, like a trampled body. They do not deal with it to clothe it in shrouds.

5)

What is "[k'Feger] Muvas"?

1.

Targum Yonasan: [Like a dead body] Medashdash. Rashi - this is [trampled,] like "Navus Kameinu" (Tehilim 44:6), "v'Al Harai Avusenu" (below, 25), "Misboseses b'Damayich" (Yechezkel 16:6); it is muddy.

2.

Radak: His murderers trampled him.
