Commentaire sur Amos 6:2
עִבְר֤וּ כַֽלְנֵה֙ וּרְא֔וּ וּלְכ֥וּ מִשָּׁ֖ם חֲמַ֣ת רַבָּ֑ה וּרְד֣וּ גַת־פְּלִשְׁתּ֗ים הֲטוֹבִים֙ מִן־הַמַּמְלָכ֣וֹת הָאֵ֔לֶּה אִם־רַ֥ב גְּבוּלָ֖ם מִגְּבֻלְכֶֽם׃
Passez donc à Calné et regardez; de là, rendez-vous à Hamath-la-Grande, puis descendez à Gath au pays des Philistins: sont-ils plus prospères que ces royaumes-ci, leur territoire est-il plus considérable que le vôtre?
Rashi on Amos
