출애굽기 15:12의 Halakhah

Similarly,⁹⁷ Now Ibn Ezra brings other examples from Scripture where a phrase does not refer to what is adjacent to it in the verse but rather to a part of the verse that is some distance away. “from the first day until the seventh day” (Exodus 12:15)⁹⁸ The verse reads: “Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, but on the first day you shall remove leaven from your homes, for whoever eats leavened bread will be cut off from Israel, from the first day until the seventh day.” Reading this verse literally, it gives the impression that one who eats leavened bread will be cut off from Israel for only seven days, from the first day of Passover until the seventh day. This is not a correct reading. is not connected to the adjacent phrase, rather to “whoever eats leavened bread etc.” (ibid.) which is some distance away.⁹⁹ The verse is to be understood as: “whoever eats leavened bread from the first day to the seventh day will be cut off from Israel.” Similarly, “and Israel saw Egypt dead upon the bank of the sea” (ibid. 14:30) is to be understood as “and Israel saw, while standing upon the bank of the sea, Egypt dead.” For “they went down like a stone into the depths” (ibid. 15:5), and “the earth swallowed them” (ibid. 15:12).¹⁰⁰ Therefore, verse 14:30 cannot mean that Israel saw Egypt’s dead upon the bank of the sea, since the Egyptian bodies sank and were not thrown upon the bank. Similarly, “to fall before you in siege” (Deuteronomy 20:19) is connected with “you may not cut it down” (ibid.).¹⁰¹ The verse is to be understood as: “you may not cut down the tree so that the city should fall before you in siege, for man is dependant on the tree of the field.” There are many similar verses.
