Ézéchiel 31:15 Commentaire : Rashi

כֹּֽה־אָמַ֞ר אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֗ה בְּי֨וֹם רִדְתּ֤וֹ שְׁא֙וֹלָה֙ הֶאֱבַ֜לְתִּי כִּסֵּ֤תִי עָלָיו֙ אֶת־תְּה֔וֹם וָֽאֶמְנַע֙ נַהֲרוֹתֶ֔יהָ וַיִּכָּלְא֖וּ מַ֣יִם רַבִּ֑ים וָאַקְדִּ֤ר עָלָיו֙ לְבָנ֔וֹן וְכָל־עֲצֵ֥י הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה עָלָ֥יו עֻלְפֶּֽה׃

Ainsi parle le Seigneur Dieu: "Le jour où il est descendu dans le Scheol, j’ai fait mener le deuil; à cause de lui j’ai recouvert la source profonde, j’en ai arrêté les fleuves, et les grandes eaux ont été retenues prisonnières; j’ai enténébré pour lui le Liban, et tous les arbres des champs ont été pris de langueur à cause de lui.

Rashi on Ezekiel

On the day he descended into the Grave When I humbled the king of Assyria into the hands of his enemy.

Rashi on Ezekiel

I caused mourning [I caused] many mourners who relied on him [to mourn] over him.

Rashi on Ezekiel

I covered the deep on his account I covered the deep because of him, for it was accustomed to water him and cause his growth, as Scripture stated above (verse 4): “the deep made it grow tall.” That day, I covered it so that it should not ascend and extinguish his fire. i.e., I weakened his aids.
