Commentaire de citation sur Osée 14:4

אַשּׁ֣וּר ׀ לֹ֣א יוֹשִׁיעֵ֗נוּ עַל־סוּס֙ לֹ֣א נִרְכָּ֔ב וְלֹא־נֹ֥אמַר ע֛וֹד אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ לְמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יָדֵ֑ינוּ אֲשֶׁר־בְּךָ֖ יְרֻחַ֥ם יָתֽוֹם׃

Nous ne voulons plus de l’appui d’Achour, nous ne monterons plus sur les chevaux [de l’étranger], et nous ne dirons plus: "Nos dieux!" à l’œuvre de nos mains; car auprès de toi seul le délaissé trouve compassion.

Ibn Ezra

ותשרי וגו׳ And thou gavest,12A. V., And thou wentest. etc. There is yet another evil, says the Lord, to Israel; thou hast not only worshipped idols, thou hast also sent presents to the kings of Assyria or Egypt, and hast relied on them.13Comp. c. xxx. and xxxi.; Hos. 14:4; 2 Kings 16:8, 17:4. As to the meaning of ותשרי and thou gavest a present, comp. ותשורה and a present (1 Sam. 9:7); R. Moses Hannagid14R. Moses Hannagid is probably identical with R. Moses Hakkohen. Hannagid means the prince, and is a title given to men of distinction. derives תשורה from שור to see, and explains it to signify the fees for the vision and prophecy; according to this explanation ותשרי may be compared with אשורנו I shall see him (Num. 24:17), and explained thou didst go to see him.
