Commentaire de citation sur Le Deutéronome 28:26

וְהָיְתָ֤ה נִבְלָֽתְךָ֙ לְמַאֲכָ֔ל לְכָל־ע֥וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וּלְבֶהֱמַ֣ת הָאָ֑רֶץ וְאֵ֖ין מַחֲרִֽיד׃

Et ta dépouille servira de pâture aux oiseaux du ciel et aux animaux de la terre, et nul ne les troublera.

Midrash BeChiddush

41. “Your carcasses shall become food for all the birds of the sky,” (Deut 28:26) was established about the Egyptians. They were like fish that swallow one another. For each fish there is a larger one which swallows it so that the first fish dies in the belly of the second fish. The Egyptians suffered in it as if they were inside it, like we see in the story of Jonah, who said, “From the belly of Sheol I cried out,” (Jonah. 2:3) This was because the fish that swallowed him died, as the sages said. They suffered many different types of afflictions at that time. The (fish) were called birds because they had fins. The word הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם of the sky is an abbreviation of “From the water” as was written in the work of heaven.
