요엘 2:12의 주석

(12)- And it says "even now says Gd, return to me" and the following pesukim are in my opinion a hiunt to the second Temple. And it says "even now" meaning even though you didn't return before the destruction and exile still return to me and do a complete teshuva with your heart, affliction, fasting, crying and prayer and tear your closed hearts open. (13)- and he says "and tear your hearts rather than your clothing" do the teshuva internally not just externally with your clothes because Gd is merciful and compassionate and He will forgive the wickedness and remember you and return your exiles. And the R'ibl? says "if you tear your hearts with teshuva you won't need to tear your clothing in mourning for your children"
