Tafsiran Yehezkiel 38:22: Tze'enah Ure'enah & Rashi

וְנִשְׁפַּטְתִּ֥י אִתּ֖וֹ בְּדֶ֣בֶר וּבְדָ֑ם וְגֶ֣שֶׁם שׁוֹטֵף֩ וְאַבְנֵ֨י אֶלְגָּבִ֜ישׁ אֵ֣שׁ וְגָפְרִ֗ית אַמְטִ֤יר עָלָיו֙ וְעַל־אֲגַפָּ֔יו וְעַל־עַמִּ֥ים רַבִּ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר אִתּֽוֹ׃

Aku akan berperkara melawan dia dengan penyakit sampar dan dengan darah; hujan deras yang menghanyutkan, batu-batu hujan es, api, dan belerang akan Kuhujankan ke atasnya, ke atas pasukannya, dan ke atas banyak bangsa yang bersamanya.

Tze'enah Ure'enah

“I will punish him with pestilence and with blood” [38:22]. I will judge and will punish him with pestilence so that they will die, with blood and with great rain, like during the Flood. The hail will be large and it will fall from heaven like stones.

Tze'enah Ure'enah

Our sages say that in the time of Moses our Teacher, when he punished Pharaoh with hail, there were large stones in the hail. Moses prayed that the hail should cease because Pharaoh had asked him that he should pray. Moses immediately prayed and the hail remained hanging in the air over the people and did not fall to the ground. In the days of Pharaoh, when Moses shouted at the hail, the Holy One hid the same hail until Gog and Magog will come. This same hail will fall on Gog and Magog and their people. The Holy One will allow fire and sulfur to rain on them and on many nations.1Exodus Rabbah, 12.7.

Rashi

and great hailstones Hailstones that glisten like precious stones named גָּבִישּׁ, crystal, as the matter is stated (Job 28:18): “Coral and crystal (וְגָּבִישּׁ).” Our Sages said (Ber. 54b): עַל גַב אִישּׁ: Hailstones that started to fall on Egypt, and stood in the air over the man (עַל גַב אִישּׁ), Moses, who prayed that they not fall, as the matter that is stated (Exod. 9:33), לֹא נִתַּךְ אַרְצָה “[it] did not reach the ground.”
