Commentaire sur Ézéchiel 16:1: Rachi, Rambam, Ibn Ezra et plus

וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר׃

La parole de l’Éternel me fut adressée en ces termes:

Rashi on Ezekiel

let...know Heb. הוֹדַע, fais savoir in French, inform.

Rashi on Ezekiel

your dwelling place Heb. מְכֹרֹתַיִך, like מְגוּרוֹתַיִךְ, your dwelling place [interchanging כ and ג], and Menachem (p. 110) connected the word to the idea of birth. He similarly explained (Gen. 49: 5): “weapons of violence are their birth (מְכֵרוֹתֵיהֶם)” (Deut. 18:8); “besides what he has from his birth (מִמְכָּרָיו)” (II Kings 12:6); “each one from his kinsman (מַכָּרוֹ).” They all mean birth.

Rashi on Ezekiel

your father, etc., and your mother Abraham and Sarah took their greatness from there, and the children of Heth gave her a grave.
