פירוש על ישעיהו 10:7

But he Sennacherib.

ידמה He meaneth. Comp. דמיתי I thought (Num. 33:56); דמיון imagination (Ps. 17:12). He does not think that I have sent him to chastise; he only considers how to overthrow every kingdom.

does not deem it so that the decree is from Me, and that I am sending him. יְדַמֶּה koujjder in O.F. (

and his heart does not think so that I sent him concerning money, to take plunder and spoils.) but in his heart is the thought to destroy everything with his haughtiness.
