Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk 1 Raja-raja 6:7

and the shamir: It was a type of long worm. And King Shlomo built the Temple with it, as he would place it on the stone and it would split (Gittin 68a). "And no hammer or ax or any iron tool was heard in the House while it was being built" (I Kings 6:7).

And when he said, "You have shed blood abundantly" – for there was innocent blood among the blood that he shed, like the blood of Uriya, and this happened before. Also regarding the blood of the priests, he was the reason, as he said, "I have occasioned the death of all the persons of your father's house" (I Shmuel 22:22). Also among the blood of the nations that he shed, it is possible that there were good and pious people among them. Nevertheless, he was not punished for them because his intention was to destroy the wicked that they not attack Israel and to save himself when he was in the land of the Philistines, and therefore he spared no man or woman. But since he was involved in abundant bloodshed, God barred him from building a Temple, which is for peace and atonement of sin and the crown of prayer, as He forbade the waving of iron over the altar and in the Temple. Since iron is used for the production of tools of death, it should not be used for the production of tools of peace.

Furthermore, regarding the Holy Temple, there sat the Sanhedrin on their seats, from where Torah would emerge. The wisdom acquired by a person [comes] through distinct levels, for initially one who investigates intellectual matters must recognize the nature of earthly existence — this is [symbolized by] the ladder set on the earth. From there, one ascends to a greater level, which is recognizing the nature of entities in the middle world regarding the movement of celestial spheres and their motions — this is what it means when it says its top reached the heavens. From there, one ascends to understand the nature of the separate intelligences in the upper world. This is what it means when it says angels of God ascending and descending on it. It mentions ascending and descending because these represent the four camps of the Divine Presence, as explained in Recanati’s commentary on Parshat Balak: Uriel is minister of air, Michael is minister of water, Raphael is minister of earth, and Gabriel is minister of fire. It is known that water and earth naturally descend, while air and fire naturally ascend. Therefore, it mentions two ascending and two descending. From there, one ascends to grasp the existence of the blessed God — this is what it means when it says behold, God was standing over him. According to all these interpretations, this vision relates to the place. However, regarding the temporal aspect, since Jacob was fleeing from Esau and fear arose in his mind that [Esau] might confront him with the sword, therefore from heaven they delayed him to pray in the place where his forefathers had prayed, for the Temple is called a house of prayer. It had already been established that as long as Jacob’s voice resonates [in prayer/study], the hands of Esau have no power over him. Furthermore, the Holy Temple is the opposite of Esau, for Esau’s craft was forging copper and iron to make swords, while regarding the Temple it is written no iron tool was heard (1 Kings 6:7), and it is written you shall not lift up any iron upon them (Deuteronomy 27:5). Therefore, they showed Jacob the place of the Temple to say that in its merit he would be saved from iron weapons, as it says Behold, I am with you and will protect you wherever you go.

[neither will] a spear, a slingshot, or a coat of mail Likewise, none of these weapons that are in the hands of the overtaker will either remain or stand up before the leviathan. The word מַסָע may be said to be one type of weapon, like the sword, spear, and coat of mail(?). מַסָע may also be interpreted after the sample of (I Kings 6:7), “whole stones as they were transported (מַסָע) etc.,” and this is its interpretation: a transported spear, which is large and not so easily moved, because it is large and very strong; as the matter is stated concerning Goliath the Philistine (I Sam. 17:7), “And the shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and the spear’s head was six hundred shekels, etc.”
