Isaïe 49:15 Commentaire : Rashi & Ibn Ezra

הֲתִשְׁכַּ֤ח אִשָּׁה֙ עוּלָ֔הּ מֵרַחֵ֖ם בֶּן־בִּטְנָ֑הּ גַּם־אֵ֣לֶּה תִשְׁכַּ֔חְנָה וְאָנֹכִ֖י לֹ֥א אֶשְׁכָּחֵֽךְ׃

Est-ce qu’une femme peut oublier son nourrisson, ne plus aimer le fruit de ses entrailles? Fût-elle capable d’oublier, moi je ne t’oublie point!

Rashi on Isaiah

Shall a woman forget her sucking child Heb. עוּלָהּ, similar to עוֹלֵל.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah

Can a woman, etc. This is mentioned, because God has given to woman a natural disposition to have pity on her children.

Rashi on Isaiah

from having mercy on the child of her womb Heb. מֵרֶחֶם בֶּן-בִּטְנָהּ.
