Commentaire sur Isaïe 44:15
וְהָיָ֤ה לְאָדָם֙ לְבָעֵ֔ר וַיִּקַּ֤ח מֵהֶם֙ וַיָּ֔חָם אַף־יַשִּׂ֖יק וְאָ֣פָה לָ֑חֶם אַף־יִפְעַל־אֵל֙ וַיִּשְׁתָּ֔חוּ עָשָׂ֥הוּ פֶ֖סֶל וַיִּסְגָּד־לָֽמוֹ׃
Tout cela sert à l’homme de combustible; il en prend une partie pour se chauffer, une autre pour allumer le feu qui doit faire cuire son pain; puis encore il fait un dieu et tombe à genoux, en taille une idole et se courbe devant elle!
Rashi on Isaiah
And it was for man to ignite And part of that very tree was for man’s necessities, [viz.] to ignite.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
לבער To bum. Then shall it be for a man, etc. Some warm themselves by the fire, others kindle it, etc. ישיק He kindleth it. Comp. נשקה was kindled (Ps. Ixxviii. 21); the meaning of נשק is similar to that of בער to burn.
