여호수아 5:9의 주석

I have removed. (Lit. I have rolled) I have removed the ridicule of the Egyptians who had said [when they were leaving], “See that ‘Raah’ is before you.⁷Shemos, 10:10. There is a star named Raah, which is a symbol of blood. We see it overpowering you in the wilderness.”⁸The Egyptians intimated that Bnei Yisroel would meet with disaster if they left Egypt because they would be under the power of the star of blood. This is what Moshe referred to in the wilderness [when he said,] “Why should the Egptians speak, saying, ‘With Raah, He took them out.’” But they did not know that [the blood they saw] was the blood of circumcision. And now when they were circumcised in the days of Yehoshua, and the blood of circumcision appeared, that ridicule was removed; for the mixed multitude that went up with them [from Egypt] were still taunting them. This is the way R’ Moshe, Ha Darshan explained [this passage.]

Now I am lifting from on you what the mitzrim shamed you with saying: aren't they uncircumcised like us. And it will be considered a disgrace to the jews like it says: Because she is an embarrassment to us.

I have removed. [Lit. I have rolled] This is similar to: ‘Remove from me humiliation and contempt;’⁹Tehillim 119:22. ‘and he rolled off the stone.’¹⁰Bereishis 29:10.
