they were extinguished like a thorn fire Every expression of דעיכה coincides with an expression of springing and skipping. It hastens to spring and skip from its place. Therefore, it fits with an expression of fire or with an expression of water, like (Job 6:17): “they jump (נדעכו) from their place.” Similarly (Job 17:1), “my days flicker (נדעכו)”; similarly (Job 18:6), “and his candle that is over him shall go out (ידעך),” in the way that the flame springs from the wick and ascends upward when it is extinguished.

AND AS THY DAYS ‘DAVECHA.’ Concerning this word [davecha] it seems to me that it is like zavecha [meaning: “so shall ‘thy flowing’ oil be” — as explained further on], for these letters [daleth and zayin] are regularly used interchangeably [in our language]. Thus it says, ‘madheivah’ (the exactress of gold) ceased273Isaiah 14:4. [written with a daleth] in place of mazheivah [written with a zayin, from the word zahav — gold]. The entire Aramaic language follows that rule [of daleth — zayin interchangeability] in every usage of [the Hebrew words] zevichah (slaughtering),274Thus the Hebrew word mizbeiach (altar), written with the zayin, is translated in Aramaic as madbach, with a daleth (Exodus 20:21). and also in every usage of zechirah (remembrance),275The Hebrew vayizkor (and He remembered), is translated in Aramaic as udechir, (Genesis 8:1). and similarly, zahav (gold),276In Aramaic it is rendered dahava (Genesis 2:11). zakan (beard),277In Aramaic it is dikna (Leviticus 13:30). zanav (tail),278In Aramaic it is danba (Judges 15:4). ‘zrei’ (scatter) away,279Numbers 17:2. This is rendered in Targum Yonathan as badrei. and many others, [in each of which, Aramaic substitutes a daleth for the Hebrew zayin]. So also for [the Hebrew words] zavah (a woman suffering a flux), the female flow, or the male flux [all are rendered in Aramaic] davah. Their entire language constantly interchanges the zayin with the daleth in this way. Thus [the Hebrew] my days are ‘nizachu’ (extinct)280Job 17:1. is in place of [the Aramaic] nidachu. So also ‘zachalti’ (I feared) and was afraid281Ibid., 32:6. is like dachalti. Scripture thus states here: “and as your days so shall zavecha be,” meaning “that your land will ‘flow’ with the aforementioned oil, and you will dip your foot in it all your days forever.”
What they282R’dak in the “Sefer Hasharashim,” under the word daba, in the name of his father the grammarian Joseph Kimchi. have interpreted is also possible — and it is correct — that the word davecha [spelled: daleth, beth aleph, kaph] is a reversed [and hence synonymous] form of da’avon (languishing) of soul283Above, 28:65. [spelled: daleth, aleph, beth, nun]. Scripture calls the days of old age da’avon (languishing) for they are the days of evil284Ecclesiastes 12:1. and pain; and it calls the days of youth his days285As stated in the verse before us: and as thy days etc. since they are his to rejoice in them and cheer his heart.286See Ecclesiastes 11:9. Thus the meaning of the verse is as follows: “and as the days of your youth so shall be the days of your old age,” this being an allusion to Asher’s security and honor while the earth remaineth.287Genesis 8:22. Now, I have seen in [the rendering of] the Targum Yerushalmi:288See Vol. I, p. 371, Note 128. “as the days of their youth, so shall their old age be.” This is as I have explained.
