Comentario sobre I Crónicas 7:31
וּבְנֵ֣י בְרִיעָ֔ה חֶ֖בֶר וּמַלְכִּיאֵ֑ל ה֖וּא אֲבִ֥י ברזות [בִרְזָֽיִת׃]
Los hijos de Bería: Heber, y Machîel, el cual fué padre de Birzabith.
Rashi on I Chronicles
the father of Birzaith the governor of that city. But in Genesis Rabbah (71:9)[it says]: “Rabbi Levi and Rabbi Simon [gave different interpretations of Birzaith]. Rabbi Levi says: It means that his daughters were beautiful and were married to [high] priests who were anointed with olive oil. Rabbi Simon says: [It means] that his daughters were beautiful and married to kings who were anointed with the anointment oil, and since they had plenty of oil, they [the daughters] would anoint themselves with it. Therefore, they were beautiful, for concerning Asher it is written (Deut. 33:24): ‘and dip his foot in oil,’ and Rabbi Hanina said: “The warm water and the oil with which my mother anointed me restored me to my youth.”
