Commentaire sur Josué 8:6
וְיָצְא֣וּ אַחֲרֵ֗ינוּ עַ֣ד הַתִּיקֵ֤נוּ אוֹתָם֙ מִן־הָעִ֔יר כִּ֣י יֹֽאמְר֔וּ נָסִ֣ים לְפָנֵ֔ינוּ כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר בָּרִֽאשֹׁנָ֑ה וְנַ֖סְנוּ לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃
afin qu’ils nous poursuivent, jusqu’à ce que nous les ayons attirés hors de la ville; car ils se diront: "Ils fuient devant nous comme la première fois"; mais, tandis que nous fuirons devant eux,
Rashi on Joshua
Until we have drawn them. הַתִּיקֵנוּ is an expression of תִּיק, a pocket, i.e., until we have drawn them from the pocket of the city.1The city provided them with protection, as a pocket protects its contents. Defaurer in old french. We may also explain it as an expression of נְתִּיקָה, drawing out similar to ‘Draw them out like sheep to the slaughter.’2Yirmiahu 12:3.
