Commentaire de citation sur Les Psaumes 73:7

משכית, the word is derived from שכה in the same manner as מרבית is derived from רבה. It has no companion in the Bible except Psalms 73,7 עברו משכיות לבב, a reference to visions of one’s heart. Here too, the stone and its multi-coloured decorations are designed to awaken one’s fantasies.

ornament a noun, like the word “usury” [25:37]. It denotes a painted stone, from “they have more than the heart can describe” [Psalms 73:7] and “delightful craftsmanship” [Isaiah 2:16].

But the sin offering comes for a sin of action, which is done through the instruments of action that are dependent on the material that is acted upon like a female; therefore its offering is a female. And the main sin is dependent on specific organs, primarily the fat and the blood, and by them will be all disputes and all afflictions. For through the boiling of the blood all day, one will desire forbidden things, as it is written When your soul desires (Deuteronomy 12:20), and it is written For the blood is the soul (Deuteronomy 12:23). And similarly, when Yeshurun grows fat and fatness bulges from their eyes (Psalms 73:7), and their fat has closed their mouth (Psalms 17:10), then one is especially predisposed to sin. Therefore, from the sin offering, the fat and blood are offered, and the meat is eaten by the priests as a form of charity to feed the poor servants of our God, for through kindness and truth sin is atoned.
