Nahum 2:3 Commentary: Rashi, Rambam, Ibn Ezra & More

כִּ֣י שָׁ֤ב יְהוָה֙ אֶת־גְּא֣וֹן יַעֲקֹ֔ב כִּגְא֖וֹן יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּ֤י בְקָקוּם֙ בֹּֽקְקִ֔ים וּזְמֹרֵיהֶ֖ם שִׁחֵֽתוּ׃

For the LORD restoreth the pride of Jacob, As the pride of Israel; For the emptiers have emptied them out, And marred their vine-branches.—

Rashi on Nahum

as the pride of Israel—As it was already.

Rashi on Nahum

the emptiers have emptied them out—They have plundered them and emptied them. The expression of בְּקִיקָה is appropriate for a vine.
