Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Amsal 8:34

The reason for piercing specifically at the door and doorpost is that after six years, the Torah opened a door for him to go from slavery to freedom, and the door turns on its hinge, but the lazy person does not want to leave. It’s like someone sitting in prison and they open a door for him saying “Go, escape!” Yet he chooses the imagined benefits he has, because it is good for him with his master in food and drink, so he leaves the door open and doesn’t want to exit. It is right that he should be pierced at the door or on the mezuzah which has inscribed on it the passage You shall love the Lord your God, while he says “I love my wife and my children.” He is exchanging love of the Blessed God for love of his wife, the maidservant. Therefore, he should be pierced at the mezuzah. Additionally, every free person has the ability to fulfill what is written Watching at my doors day by day, to guard the doorposts of my entrances (Proverbs 8:34), but this person is watching at his master’s doors and turns his ear away from hearing God’s voice to be watching at His doors. Therefore he should be pierced there, to say: “Because of your bad choice, you are fixed here and shall not move from here again.”

hastens Heb. שקד. Menahem (p. 180) associates it with an expression of watching. Comp. (Prov. 8:34) “To watch (לשקוד) My doors daily.” And Jonathan rendered it as an expression of lying in wait.

Rabbi Yehoshua ben Chananya--happy is the one who gave birth to him!: The undifferentiated expression, 'happy' is a category that includes all of the virtues through which a person is happy. And when it mentions the trait [with it], it is [referring only to] a particular [trait]. And we have found it stated about fear as in "Happy is the man who fears the Lord" (Psalms 112:1). And also about the designation of a fixed place for Torah [study], as it is written (Proverbs 8:34), "Happy is the man who listens to me, coming early to my gates each day, waiting outside my doors," and it states (Psalms 84:5), "Happy are those who dwell in Your house; they will still forever praise You." And about devotion, as it is stated (Psalms 65:5), "Happy is the man You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts." And about faith (Psalms 84:6), "Happy is the man who has refuge in You." It is also stated about one who prevents himself from [involvement with] evildoers (Psalms 1:1), "Happy is the man who has not followed the counsel of the evildoers, or taken the path of sinners, or joined the company of the scorners." It is also stated about those that keep the Shabbat (Isaiah 56:2), "Happy is the man who does this." It is also stated about those that walk in the Torah of the Lord (Psalms 119:1), "Happy are those whose way is blameless, who follow the Torah of the Lord." It is also stated about those that keep the commandments (Psalms 119:2), "Happy are those who observe His decrees, who turn to Him wholeheartedly." It is also stated about one who benefits from his toil (Psalms 128:2), "You shall enjoy the fruit of your labors; you shall be happy and it shall be good for you." It is also stated about those that keep the law and do justice (Psalms 106:3), "Happy are those who act lawfully, who do justice at all times." It is also stated about trust [in God] (Proverbs 16:20), "he who trusts in the Lord is happy." It is also stated about wisdom (Proverbs 3:13), "Happy is the man who finds wisdom," and it is also written (Proverbs 14:21), "he who shows pity for the lowly is happy." And about this is it said, "happy is the one who gave birth to him" undifferentiated; meaning to say he is happy with all of the happy traits - great in his wisdom and refined by his traits and in all of his affairs.
