Jeschijahu 46:2 Kommentar: Rashi & Ibn Ezra

קָרְס֤וּ כָֽרְעוּ֙ יַחְדָּ֔ו לֹ֥א יָכְל֖וּ מַלֵּ֣ט מַשָּׂ֑א וְנַפְשָׁ֖ם בַּשְּׁבִ֥י הָלָֽכָה׃ (ס)

Sie brechen zusammen und stürzen, sie können die Last nicht retten, und sie selbst [die Babylonier] wandern in die Gefangenschaft.

Rashi

they could not deliver the burden to discharge the feces in their bowels as others discharge, in the normal manner.

Rashi

deliver Heb. מַלֵּט, an expression of discharging from an embedded place. Comp. (supra 34:15) “There, the owl has made its nest, and she has laid eggs (וַתְּמַלֵט),” he has discharged her egg. Comp. also (infra 66:7) “And she has been delivered (וְהִמְלִיטָה) of a male child.” Jonathan, however, did not render these verses in this manner.
