Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk 2 Samuel 6:20

ויקחו לי תרומה מאת כל איש אשר ידבנו לבו תקחו את תרומתי, “and from every person whose heart so moves him you shall accept the gifts for Me.” The plain meaning of the text is that these gifts were dedicated to G’d’s name. The word תרומה means something set aside. In other words, the Israelites were to set aside a voluntary contribution for the building of the Tabernacle each out of his or her own funds. The whole concept of the Tabernacle has to be understood as an internalized version of what transpired during the revelation at Mount Sinai (based on Nachmanides). The very attribute כבוד which rested on Mount Sinai for all to see afterwards was manifest inside the Holy of Holies on the ark between the cherubs on an ongoing basis. The principal difference was that it could no longer be seen. Moses had said in Deut. 5,21 “here the Lord has shown us His majestic Presence כבוד וגדלו,“ and this has been repeated in connection with the Tabernacle twice more. Once in Exodus 40,34: “and the Presence of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.” In the verse immediately following, the Torah also writes that Moses was unable to enter the Tabernacle as the cloud had settled over it and “the Presence of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.” Just as the Torah wrote in connection with the Mount Sinai experience (Deut. 4,36) “From the heavens He let you hear His voice to discipline you; on the earth He let you see His great fire; and from amidst the fire you heard His words,” so a parallel experience is described in connection with the Tabernacle in Numbers 7,89: “he (Moses) would hear the voice addressing him from above the cover that was on top of the Ark of the covenant between the two cherubs; thus He spoke to him.” If, at Mount Sinai, the “nobles” were described as: “they saw the G’d of Israel,” we find something similar in connection with the Tabernacle in that the G’d of Israel “sat” on the cherubs (Samuel II 6,20). This is also what the prophet Ezekiel reported as seeing in his vision (Ezekiel 10,19-20) וכבוד אלו-הי ישראל עליהם מלמעלה, היא החיה אשר ראיתי תחת אלו-הי ישראל בנהר כבר ואדע כי כרובים המה, “and the glory of the G’d of Israel was above them; this was the Chayah which I saw beneath the G’d of Israel at the river Kevar.”

one of...servants (אַחַד) one of the servants of. Comp. (Gen. 21:15) “One of (אַחַד) the bushes.” Also (II Sam. 6:20) “One of (אַחַד) the idlers.”

Es ist übrigens nicht notwendig, daß hier dieses וירא את ערות אביו im buchstäblichen Sinne gemeint sei. Abgesehen davon, daß ערוה überhaupt als Ausdruck für eine Schwäche, eine schwache Seite, einen beschämenden Zustand, und damit auch ראה sehen, in Verbindung vorkommt, z. B. לראות את ערות הארץ (Bereschit 42, 9) die Blöße, die Schwäche, den erniedrigten Zustand des Landes zu sehen, seid ihr gekommen, so kommt "Blöße" ganz speziell als Bezeichnung des den Menschen erniedrigenden Zustandes des Rausches vor: הוי, heißt es Chabakuk 2, 15. משקה רעהו מספח חמתך ואף שכר למען הביט על מעוריהם: „Weh', der du deinem Nächsten, zu trinken gibst, ihm mit Wut zusetzest und ihn berauscht machst, um dich an ihrer Blöße zu weiden!" Dazu kommt auch גלה, (hier) ויתגל, auch nicht gerade als buchstäbliche Entblößung, sondern als Ausdruck des Sichselbsterniedrigens, des Sichgehenlassens vor. So sagt Michal zu David: (Samuel II. 6, 20) מה נכבד היום מלך ישראל אשר נגלה היום לעיני אמהות עבדיו כהגלות נגלות אחד הרקים, "wie hat sich heute Israels König geehrt, indem er sich heute vor den Augen der Mägde seiner Diener, wie nur einer der Charakterlosen bloß gegeben!" Es kann daher Noach in seinem Zeltgemach lediglich im erniedrigenden Zustand des Rausches dagelegen haben, ohne daß eine wirkliche Körperentblößung stattgefunden.

And Michal the daughter of Saul, etc. Since the Book of Chronicles is for David’s honor, it does not write here what Michal said to David, as is written in Samuel (II 6:20): “How esteemed was the king of Israel today, who appeared today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the idlers would appear!” because it was a disgrace for David that a woman said that to him.
