וָאֹמְרָ֣ה לָהֶ֗ם אֲנַ֣חְנוּ קָ֠נִינוּ אֶת־אַחֵ֨ינוּ הַיְּהוּדִ֜ים הַנִּמְכָּרִ֤ים לַגּוֹיִם֙ כְּדֵ֣י בָ֔נוּ וְגַם־אַתֶּ֛ם תִּמְכְּר֥וּ אֶת־אֲחֵיכֶ֖ם וְנִמְכְּרוּ־לָ֑נוּ וַֽיַּחֲרִ֔ישׁוּ וְלֹ֥א מָצְא֖וּ דָּבָֽר׃ (ס)
Aku berkata kepada mereka, “Kami telah membeli kembali saudara-saudara kami, orang-orang Yahudi, yang telah dijual kepada bangsa-bangsa lain, sebatas kemampuan kami. Lalu sekarang kalian pun mau menjual saudara-saudara kalian sendiri, sehingga mereka harus dijual lagi kepada kami?” Mereka pun terdiam dan tidak menemukan sepatah kata pun.
Rashi
And I said to them And so I said to them: We already bought our Jewish brethren who were in captivity from the heathens to whom they were sold.
Rashi
with as much as we could afford with as much money as was in our hands.
Rashi
and you too And you too will sell to the heathens your brethren who are subjected to you as slaves?
Rashi
and they will be sold to us And the result will be that they will be sold to us by the heathens (and if so, why should you sell them, since we will be compelled to redeem them? This is found in certain editions).
Rashi
and they remained silent They were silent and ashamed, and they did not know what to answer.
