Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Yesaya 28:9

The midrashic interpretation of the dots on top of the word and he kissed him, וישקהו is good for those who have just been weaned, but according to the straightforward interpretation Esav did not plan to do evil to his brother. And the proof is [the word] ויבכו, and they cried, [which is also used in the context of the reunion between] Yosef and his brothers.

Tractate Berachos 63b says [pertaining to the verse], “‘For the churning of milk produces cream…’:¹⁷Prov. 30:33. [This teaches], Who produces the cream of Torah? The one who regurgitates the milk that he imbibed from his mother’s breasts” [i.e., those who are “weaned.” “Weaned,” as stated in Isaiah, refers to the Talmudic scholars, for they drink from the Torah’s milk – knowledge – from which they produce “cream” – in other words, laws]. “…and torn from the breast,”¹⁸Isa. 28:9. (refers to a diminution in the indulgences of life; Scripture compares these indulgences to breasts, as seen in Proverbs 5:19, “Let her breasts satisfy you at all times….” It is known from the Talmudic chapter entitled Kinyan ha-Torah¹⁹The collection of baraisos found in the sixth chapter of Avos is often referred to as Perek Kinyan ha-Torah – the Chapter of the Acquisition of the Torah. that a [non-indulgent lifestyle] is one of the conditions enabling [a person] to acquire [the knowledge of Torah].

Using this tradition of truth, I offer an explanation through the sayings of [our sages] of blessed memory, who stated in Avodah Zarah 3b, “During the first three hours of each day, the Holy One Blessed be He, sits and engages in the study of Torah.” This statement is not susceptible to a simple understanding. In addition, the Gemara asks, “What does God do by night?… There are those who say that God sits and listens to songs uttered by the holy Hayyos [angels]. As it is stated in the verse, ‘By day God commands His kindness, and by night His song is with me.’”¹⁷Psalms 42:9. [During the day God commands his kindness. Since God is occupied with the study and teaching of Torah during the day, it is obvious that the kindness He directs to His creations during the day is related to the study of Torah]. This is difficult to understand, for what kindness does the One Whose name is to be blessed perform while He is engaged in studying Torah? Rashi’s commentary [in Avodah Zarah] explains that God employs his kindness by means of judging, sustaining and teaching Torah [to the souls of children who died very young].¹⁸The Gemara questions what God does during the fourth quarter of the day. It answers, “He sits and teaches schoolchildren Torah. As Scripture states, ‘To whom shall one teach knowledge? To whom does one explain a message? To those weaned from [their mother’s] milk, removed from the breasts’ (Isa. 28:9). The Gemara interprets this verse to mean that God teaches Torah to those who are “removed from the breasts,” which means that they died at an early age. Rashi’s interpretation of this Gemara is that for most of the day God engages in acts of kindness, but in the first three hours of each day, He engages in the self-study of Torah, so to speak. However, the inferences from the verse [in Psalms] do not seem to be as [explained by Rashi].
