Commentaire de citation sur Josué 15:61

Tzechorot: White, as in (Ezekiel 27:18), "tzachar wool." Meaning to say, the merchants who rode on noteworthy good donkeys, who were unable to go because of the enemy - now, speak and sing to God, may He be blessed! And so too, "those who dwell on Midin." And that is the name of a place that is mentioned in the book of Joshua (15:61), "Midin and Sekhakhah"; or it is the name of a road known to them. They were afraid to go on those routes, because of the enemy. But now that you can go securely, speak and sing to God, may He be blessed. And in the Mesorah, it said there are three [usages of this word]: "Midin and Sekhakhah"; "those who dwell upon Midin"; "to sway midin (from the law) of the poor" (Isaiah 10:2) - one usage is a town, one usage is a road and one usage is law. And Yonatan translated the verses (in the Targum) like this, that they would lose their businesses.
