ואפרחו [וְאֶפְרֹחָ֥יו] יְעַלְעוּ־דָ֑ם וּבַאֲשֶׁ֥ר חֲ֝לָלִ֗ים שָׁ֣ם הֽוּא׃ (פ)
Anak-anaknya menelan darah, dan di mana ada orang-orang yang terbunuh, di situlah ia berada.
Ramban
WHERE HE IS. He shall be judged according to his present deeds, and not according to those actions which he may do in the future. This was because the ministering angels laid charges, etc. Thus the words of Rashi quoting from the teachings of our Rabbis.336Ibid., 19.
The correct interpretation, in line with the simple meaning of Scripture, appears to me to be that the verse is stating that G-d heard the voice of the lad in the place in which he was. He informed her that she will not need to go from there to a fountain or well for in that very place he will quench his thirst immediately. He thus said to her, “Arise, lift up the lad337Verse 18 here. after you will have given him to drink, for I will make him a great nation.337Verse 18 here. Similarly, the word sham (there) in verses, Where he sunk, there he fell down dead;338Judges 5:27. Meaning, “‘in the place’ where he fell.” And where the slain are, there is she,339Job 39:30. Meaning “And ‘in the place’ where the slain are.” alludes to the place.
