Tafsiran Zakharia 11:7: Rashi

וָֽאֶרְעֶה֙ אֶת־צֹ֣אן הַֽהֲרֵגָ֔ה לָכֵ֖ן עֲנִיֵּ֣י הַצֹּ֑אן וָאֶקַּֽח־לִ֞י שְׁנֵ֣י מַקְל֗וֹת לְאַחַ֞ד קָרָ֤אתִי נֹ֙עַם֙ וּלְאַחַד֙ קָרָ֣אתִי חֹֽבְלִ֔ים וָאֶרְעֶ֖ה אֶת־הַצֹּֽאן׃

Maka aku menggembalakan domba-domba yang akan disembelih itu, sungguh, domba-domba yang hina itu. Lalu aku mengambil bagiku dua tongkat; yang satu kunamai Kelembutan, dan yang lain kunamai Perusak. Lalu aku menggembalakan domba-domba itu.
