הִנֵּ֨ה הָי֤וּ כְקַשׁ֙ אֵ֣שׁ שְׂרָפָ֔תַם לֹֽא־יַצִּ֥ילוּ אֶת־נַפְשָׁ֖ם מִיַּ֣ד לֶֽהָבָ֑ה אֵין־גַּחֶ֣לֶת לַחְמָ֔ם א֖וּר לָשֶׁ֥בֶת נֶגְדּֽוֹ׃
Mais les voilà devenus comme du chaume, que l’incendie a consumé, ils ne peuvent se préserver des atteintes de la flamme; ce n’est pas du charbon pour se chauffer, ni un brasier devant lequel on puisse s’asseoir.,
Ibn Ezra
לחננכם That He may be gracious unto you. A verb ע״ע like לחמם to warm (47:14); it is the Kal like לשכב to lie (Gen. 34:7); all these forms, however, are irregular.24The Pathah or long Kamez (a) instead of the Holem or short Kamez (o) under the second radical in the infinitive Kal is probably the irregularity referred to by I. E. And therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you, for the Lord is a God of judgment,
