Commentaire sur Isaïe 54:1
רָנִּ֥י עֲקָרָ֖ה לֹ֣א יָלָ֑דָה פִּצְחִ֨י רִנָּ֤ה וְצַהֲלִי֙ לֹא־חָ֔לָה כִּֽי־רַבִּ֧ים בְּֽנֵי־שׁוֹמֵמָ֛ה מִבְּנֵ֥י בְעוּלָ֖ה אָמַ֥ר יְהוָֽה׃
Réjouis-toi, femme stérile qui n’as point enfanté! Fais éclater ton allégresse et chante, toi qui n’as pas été en mal d’enfant! Car plus nombreux seront les enfants de la femme délaissée que de la femme mariée, a dit l’Éternel.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
O barren, thou that didst not bear. The congregation of Israel is called barren and a woman that did not bear—the latter attribute being the explanation of the former—because of its small number.
