Commento su Giudici 18:27
וְהֵ֨מָּה לָקְח֜וּ אֵ֧ת אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֣ה מִיכָ֗ה וְֽאֶת־הַכֹּהֵן֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הָיָה־לוֹ֒ וַיָּבֹ֣אוּ עַל־לַ֗יִשׁ עַל־עַם֙ שֹׁקֵ֣ט וּבֹטֵ֔חַ וַיַּכּ֥וּ אוֹתָ֖ם לְפִי־חָ֑רֶב וְאֶת־הָעִ֖יר שָׂרְפ֥וּ בָאֵֽשׁ׃
E presero ciò che aveva fatto Michea, e il sacerdote che aveva, e andarono a Laish, da un popolo tranquillo e sicuro, e li colpirono con il bordo della spada; e hanno bruciato la città con il fuoco.
Rashi on Judges
Laish. The city's name. The book of Yehoshua entitles it "Leshem,"8Yehoshua 19:47. because they discovered, there, a precious gem called "leshem." This was inlaid in the Choshen plate,9The sacred Urim Vetumim oracles, which spelled out the Divine message for those inquirii of Adonoy. (Yoma, 73:b). and symbolized the tribe of Don, whose name was inscribed on it. Thus, they were certain that this was actually their ancestral property.
