הֲל֣וֹא זֶה֮ צ֣וֹם אֶבְחָרֵהוּ֒ פַּתֵּ֙חַ֙ חַרְצֻבּ֣וֹת רֶ֔שַׁע הַתֵּ֖ר אֲגֻדּ֣וֹת מוֹטָ֑ה וְשַׁלַּ֤ח רְצוּצִים֙ חָפְשִׁ֔ים וְכָל־מוֹטָ֖ה תְּנַתֵּֽקוּ׃
Bukankah ini puasa yang Kupilih: membuka belenggu kefasikan, melepaskan ikatan-ikatan kuk, membebaskan orang-orang yang tertindas, dan supaya kamu mematahkan setiap kuk?
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
Rebbi Eleazar said: Is that a fast day which I would prefer, that is a day where a person deprives himself? This is not a day to my liking. What is a day to my liking? Is not this a day I would prefer, opening chains of evil, unbinding fetters of the yoke. Is it not breaking your bread for the hungry, and bring to the house the poor persecuted ones. What is written after this? Then you will call and the Eternal will answer,47Is. 58:5,7,9. The spelling פרוש against masoretic פרס is confirmed by Babli Bava batra9a and is not to be explained away (cf. Mesoret Hashas Babli9a, Note 2.) etc.
