Commento su Isaia 19:19
בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא יִֽהְיֶ֤ה מִזְבֵּ֙חַ֙ לַֽיהוָ֔ה בְּת֖וֹךְ אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם וּמַצֵּבָ֥ה אֵֽצֶל־גְּבוּלָ֖הּ לַֽיהוָֽה׃
In quel giorno ci sarà un altare all'Eterno in mezzo al paese d'Egitto e un pilastro al suo confine all'Eterno.
Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
Shall there be an altar, etc. The explanation of the Midrash is known, that the altar refers to the slaughter of the Egyptians;25This is not mentioned in Yalkut, nor is any allusion made to it by Rashi or Targum. but the verse can be explained literally.26Some take it literally, and point for the fulfilment of this prophecy to the altar built in Egypt by Onias. See Menachoth, 109 b.; Josephus Antiq., XII. 11:7. Comp. And they will worship with sacrifice and meat-offering (ver. 21)
