פירוש על ישעיהו 47:14

Behold they were Your stargazers were like stubble.

Fire. The host of the enemy. Comp., There is a fire gone out of Heshbon (Num. 21:28).

there is no coal by which to warm oneself They have no remnant, like stubble, the fire of which does not leave over coals by whose fire one can warm himself.

לחמם To warm at. It is infinitive of a verb (חמם) ע״ע, written in full, and similar in form²⁴The Pathah under ל in לַחמם instead of Hirek as in לִשכב is easily explained by the guttural letter by which the ל is followed; but not so regular is the change of Pathah in the second syllable into Kamez; and a remark of I. E. on this point might have been expected, if he had had the reading לחמָם; and not rather לחמַם. to לשכב to lie (Gen. 34:7).—The meaning of the whole sentence is: they will perish and no remnant will be left of them.
