Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Ayub 38:13

לֶ֭אֱחֹז בְּכַנְפ֣וֹת הָאָ֑רֶץ וְיִנָּעֲר֖וּ רְשָׁעִ֣ים מִמֶּֽנָּה׃

supaya ia memegang ujung-ujung bumi, dan orang-orang fasik dikebaskan darinya?

Rabbeinu Bahya

You should know that the whole subject of the levirate marriage is a manifestation of G’d’s loving kindness towards His people. It is designed to ensure that as many of them as possible will enjoy the hereafter and the supernatural light available in those regions. Our sages in Sanhedrin 90 have already stated that “all Jews have a share in the world to come.” [This means that all Jews have been born with that potential; it may be forfeited due to their conduct on earth.] The subject is discussed in greater detail by Elihu in Job 33, 29-30: “truly G’d does all these things to a man two or three times; to bring him back from the Pit, that he may bask in the light of life.” In other words, a soul may experience seeing the light of the (terrestrial) world two or three times in order to save him from ultimate and absolute darkness. (oblivion) In fact, even G’d Himself is on record as responding to Job telling him to heed the word of Elihu. Compare Job 38, 13-14: “so that it seizes the corners of the earth and shakes the wicked out of it? It changes like clay under the seal till its hues are fixed like those of a garment.” In verse 12 of that same chapter G’d had challenged Job: “did you ever command day to break, assigned dawn to its place?” G’d meant if Job had ever been able like He was able to shake out the wicked from the earth and to replace them with other human beings in their place. These similes are all a reference to the re-appearance of souls which had not merited life in the hereafter after their first round on earth, by enabling them to improve their ways when given new “garments” i.e. new bodies on a second trip on earth.
Having understood all this it is not difficult to comprehend the institution of yibum as an opportunity for the soul of the departed to be given another lease on life on terrestrial earth to make up for the errors that soul had committed while clothed in a different body in a previous incarnation. It is hardly possible for anyone to quarrel on the basis of logic with understanding the concept of yibum in this fashion.
The concept of transmigration of souls is an ancient tradition having its root already at the time of Moses.

Ramban

TZALALU’ AS LEAD. They went down into “the depths” (m’tzoloth) of the sea as lead. Now Moses mentioned this in the Song twice: They went down into the sea like a stone,173Verse 5. and as lead, [mentioned in the verse here], in order to emphasize that this too came upon them from the hand of G-d. There were many persons among the Egyptians who knew how to swim, and they were near dry land, and surely all those who rode on the horses could be expected to be saved since horses are accustomed to swimming in water. Similarly, those that handle the shield174Jeremiah 46:9. The shield can serve as a board for passing through the surf. See Yebamoth 121 a where Rabbi Akiba relates that once when his boat drowned “I chanced upon a board of the boat and every wave that came upon me I bent my head” and he was thus saved. can save themselves in water, and here not one of them escaped! This is the meaning of the verse, And the Eternal overthrew (‘vay’na’er’) the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.171Above, 14:27. He lifted them with His rough blast,175Isaiah 27:8. and He lowered them into the sea. The usage of the word is similar to that in the verses: And the wicked ‘v’yina’aru’ (shall be shaken) out of it;176Job 38:13. And the strong shall be ‘lin’oreth’ (as tow),177Isaiah 1:31. ‘n’oreth’ being that which is separated and falls off from the flax when it is being prepared [for spinning].

Rashi

and close to sudden death Heb. וגוע מנער, dying from the strangulation of sudden death, as (Exod. 14:27): “and the Lord strangled (וינער).” Menachem (p. 123) defines וינער as an expression of beating, as (Isa. 33:15): “who shakes (נוער) his hands from taking hold of bribe”; (Isa. 52:2), “Shake yourself (התנערי) from the dust, arise”; (Isa. 1:31), “And the[ir] strength will become as tow (לנערת)”; (Job 38: 13), “so that the wicked will be shaken (וינערו) from it”; (Neh. 5:13), “even thus may he be shaken out (נעור) and emptied.”
