פירוש על שמואל א 2:8

He raises up the poor out of the dust: The one that was poor and disgraced and bowed to the dust - the Lord will raise him up from the dust.

From the dunghill (ashpot): It is singular with the construct of achot (sister), which when it is complete (plural) is achiyot. And the gathering [of dunghills) is (like in Lamentations 4:5), "embraced the ashpatot," in exchange for the accent being soft.

From the dunghill: It repeated the thing with different words.

The pillars (amudei) of the earth: The pedestals of the world. And likewise (Joshua 7:23), "and he planted them (yaamidum) before the Lord." And the pillars of the earth are the righteous ones. For the world is preserved in their merit. And likewise, it says (Proverbs 10:25), "the righteous one is a foundation of the world." Or its explanation is in the way of (Deuteronomy 33:27), "under the everlasting forearms" - meaning to say, He is the preservation of the world and its support. And the supports of man are His and everything stands from His power, [as] is the order of the settlement of the world, to support creatures upon it. And that is what it stated, "He has set the world upon them" - since the places of inhabitation are called the world.

To set: He lifts him up from the dunghills, and raises him further to set him with nobles, to be similar to them.

To make them inherit: Meaning to say, they will be honored in the eyes of the creatures as if they were accustomed to honor that they inherited from their fathers.

For the Lord’s: And that is because the foundations of the world are the Lord's; and He made the world upon those foundations. That is why it is in His hands to do as He wishes in His world.
