אֶֽעֱבֹ֨ר בְּכָל־צֹֽאנְךָ֜ הַיּ֗וֹם הָסֵ֨ר מִשָּׁ֜ם כָּל־שֶׂ֣ה ׀ נָקֹ֣ד וְטָל֗וּא וְכָל־שֶׂה־חוּם֙ בַּכְּשָׂבִ֔ים וְטָל֥וּא וְנָקֹ֖ד בָּעִזִּ֑ים וְהָיָ֖ה שְׂכָרִֽי׃
Hari ini aku akan memeriksa seluruh kambing dombamu. Pisahkanlah dari situ setiap ekor yang berbintik-bintik dan yang berbelang, setiap ekor yang cokelat kemerahan di antara domba-domba, serta yang berbelang dan yang berbintik-bintik di antara kambing-kambing; yang seperti itulah yang akan menjadi upahku.
Siftei Chakhamim
And its Targum is: “you shall not cut off.” You might ask: Why does Rashi not [simply] explain, “Like its Targum?” The answer is: [He wanted to add] that it is also an expression found in Scripture, “as thorns cut off.” We find the same in parshas Vayeitzei (Bereishis 30:32) [regarding the word] חום (dark) where Rashi explains שחום (dark brown), which is [actually] like its Targum. [If so], why does Rashi not [simply] explain “Like its Targum”? Because [he wants to explain that] it is also an expression found in the Mishnah, “[It was sold as] dark brown (שחמתית) etc.”
German Commentary
Hat er dunkelroten. שחום wie das biblische חום (Gen. 30, 32).
