Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Kejadian 43:12

The fattened cattle. This word has no likeness [in Scripture]. These are the fattened cattle;¹⁴According to Mahri Kra מִשֽׁנִים are thoroughbred horses. and I say that the expression of מִשְׁנִים is like וְכֶסֶף מִשְׁנֶה [meaning double money],¹⁵Bereishis 43:12. because they are doubled over with flesh and fat. Similarly, 'And the ox which was fattened [הַשֵּׁנִי] seven years.'¹⁶Shoftim 6:25.

I HAVE LIFTED UP MINE HAND TO THE ETERNAL. This is an expression signifying an oath: “I lift up my hand to G-d Most High.”²⁰⁹Besides explaining that this is an expression signifying an oath, Rashi also states that even though the verse uses a past tense harimothi, the sense is that of the present tense: “I lift up my hand.” Similarly, the verse, By myself have I sworn,²¹⁰Further, 22:16. Here too the verse uses a past tense, but its meaning is that of the present tense. means “By Myself do I swear.” Thus the language of Rashi.
I have found a similar text in the Sifre:²¹¹Vaethchanan 33. “We find in the case of all the righteous that they bring their inclination under oath in order not to do evil. In the case of Abraham, he says, I have lifted up mine hand to the Eternal.” It is thus similar to the verse, And he lifted up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by Him that liveth forever.²¹²Daniel 12:7.
But Onkelos said, “I have lifted my hand in prayer before the Eternal.” The intent of Abraham’s words according to Onkelos is: “I have prayed to G-d, with my hands spread forth toward heaven,²¹³See I Kings 8:22. if I take anything that is thine.” That is to say, “G-d do so to me, and more also,²¹⁴Ibid., 2:23. if I take, etc.”
The correct interpretation appears to me to be that Abraham said, “I have lifted my hand to G-d to make those things Sacred and Devoted²¹⁵See Leviticus 27:28. to Him, were I to take from that which is thine.” Declaring things to be sacred to Him is called in Hebrew “lifting of a hand,” just as in the verses: Every one that did lift up a heave offering of silver and copper;²¹⁶Exodus 35:24. and every man that offered a wave offering of gold unto the Eternal.²¹⁷Ibid., Verse 22. This Abraham said because having given a tenth of it to the priest, he declared that whatever he takes from the king of Sodom would be a heave offering to G-d, from which he would derive no benefit.
In Bereshith Rabbah²¹⁸43:12. it is similarly said, “Abraham made it a heave offering, even as it is said, And ye shall heave a heave offering of it for the Eternal.”²¹⁹Numbers 18:26.

אולי נטתה מפני; whenever the word אולי occurs in the Bible its meaning is similar to the words אם and אילו. (‘if’) Commentators who explain the word as meaning לולי as in Genesis 43,10 לולי התמהמנו, ”if not for the fact that we procrastinated,” or as in Genesis 31,42, לולי אלוקי אבי, “if not for the G’d of my father, etc.,” are in error. We have to understand the word as in Lamentations 3,29 אולי יש תקוה, “maybe there is hope,” or as in Amos 5,15 אולי יחנן ה', “maybe G’d will be gracious,” or as in Genesis 43,12 אולי משגה הוא,”maybe it was an oversight.”
