Commento su Daniele 11:18
וישב [וְיָשֵׂ֧ם ׀] פָּנָ֛יו לְאִיִּ֖ים וְלָכַ֣ד רַבִּ֑ים וְהִשְׁבִּ֨ית קָצִ֤ין חֶרְפָּתוֹ֙ ל֔וֹ בִּלְתִּ֥י חֶרְפָּת֖וֹ יָשִׁ֥יב לֽוֹ׃
Dopodiché poserà la faccia sulle isole e ne prenderà molte; ma un capitano farà cessare il biasimo offerto da lui; sì, farà ricadere su di lui il proprio rimprovero.
Rashi on Daniel
and the Prince will terminate his blasphemy to Him His reproach and his blasphemy, with which he blasphemed the Holy One, blessed be He, and Israel, as is written in the book of Josiphon (ch. 20), and He punished him, for He smote him with evil boils while he was in transit, for he went to besiege Jerusalem, and his flesh became putrid, his limbs fell off and he ordered his slaves to bring him back to Antioch, but he did not manage to get there before he died of evil illnesses.
