Kommentar zu Jeschijahu 13:8
וְֽנִבְהָ֓לוּ ׀ צִירִ֤ים וַֽחֲבָלִים֙ יֹֽאחֵז֔וּן כַּיּוֹלֵדָ֖ה יְחִיל֑וּן אִ֤ישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵ֙הוּ֙ יִתְמָ֔הוּ פְּנֵ֥י לְהָבִ֖ים פְּנֵיהֶֽם׃
Alle erschrecken sie, Wehen und Schmerzen erfassen sie, wie die Gebärerin kreisen sie. Einer starrt den andern mit flammendem Gesichte an.
