Commento su II Re 19:23
בְּיַ֣ד מַלְאָכֶיךָ֮ חֵרַ֣פְתָּ ׀ אֲדֹנָי֒ וַתֹּ֗אמֶר ברכב [בְּרֹ֥ב] רִכְבִּ֛י אֲנִ֥י עָלִ֛יתִי מְר֥וֹם הָרִ֖ים יַרְכְּתֵ֣י לְבָנ֑וֹן וְאֶכְרֹ֞ת קוֹמַ֤ת אֲרָזָיו֙ מִבְח֣וֹר בְּרֹשָׁ֔יו וְאָב֙וֹאָה֙ מְל֣וֹן קִצֹּ֔ה יַ֖עַר כַּרְמִלּֽוֹ׃
Con i messaggeri hai schernito il Signore e hai detto: Con la moltitudine dei miei carri, vengo fino all'altezza delle montagne, Nelle parti più interne del Libano; E ho abbattuto i suoi alti cedri e i suoi cipressi scelti; e sono entrato nella sua loggia più lontana, la foresta del suo fruttuoso campo.
Rashi on II Kings
The highest mountains. [This refers to] the Temple Mount.7The sacrifices that are offered in the Beis Hamikdosh atoned for the sins and “whitened” them. The verse in Yeshayohu 1:18 states, “If your sins will be like scarlet, they will become as white [=ילבינו] as snow.” See Maseches Gittin 56b and Rashi there.
