Le Lévitique 3:11 Commentaire : Rashi & Siftei Chakhamim

וְהִקְטִיר֥וֹ הַכֹּהֵ֖ן הַמִּזְבֵּ֑חָה לֶ֥חֶם אִשֶּׁ֖ה לַיהוָֽה׃ (פ)

Et le pontife les fera fumer sur l’autel, comme aliment de combustion en l’honneur du Seigneur.

Rashi on Leviticus

'לחם אשה לה‎ means: it is the food of the fire in honour of the Lord. (The translation is not: it is food, a fire offering unto the Lord; לחם is construct, and the words must be translated as Rashi does).

Siftei Chakhamim

Food of the fire. Meaning: The form of a noun with two segolim under the פ and ע position of the פֶעֶל [such as לֶחֶם] is the same whether it is annexed to the next word or stands alone, and it is unlike the other annexed words that change to the חטף vowel [when annexed to the next word].

Rashi on Leviticus

לחם is a general expression for food. Similar is, (Jeremiah 11:19) “let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof (בלחמו)”; (Daniel 5:1) “[Belshazzar] made a great banquet (לחם)”; (Ecclesiastes 10:19) “It is for laughter that a banquet (לחם) is made”.
