Tafsiran Ulangan 33:29: Rashi, Chizkuni, Da'at Zekenim & Ibn Ezra

אַשְׁרֶ֨יךָ יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל מִ֣י כָמ֗וֹךָ עַ֚ם נוֹשַׁ֣ע בַּֽיהוָ֔ה מָגֵ֣ן עֶזְרֶ֔ךָ וַאֲשֶׁר־חֶ֖רֶב גַּאֲוָתֶ֑ךָ וְיִכָּֽחֲשׁ֤וּ אֹיְבֶ֙יךָ֙ לָ֔ךְ וְאַתָּ֖ה עַל־בָּמוֹתֵ֥ימוֹ תִדְרֹֽךְ׃ (ס)

Berbahagialah engkau, hai Israel! Siapakah seperti engkau, bangsa yang diselamatkan oleh Yang Mahakekal? Dialah perisai yang menolongmu dan pedang keagunganmu. Musuh-musuhmu akan berpura-pura tunduk kepadamu, dan engkau akan menginjak tempat-tempat tinggi mereka.

Rashi

Da'at Zekenim

ואשר חרב גאותך, “and that is the sword of your excellence.” Your voluntary isolation, -as opposed to being ghettoized,-is proof of your maturity as G–d’s people. It elevates you above all other nations.
