시편 149:2의 인용 해설

וילך משה, he was self-propelled, just as was Amram, Moses’ father who married his aunt Yocheved, daughter of Levi, and almost certainly many years his senior. (Exodus 2,1) Another of many uses of the word וילך meaning that the person described acted of their own initiative is found in Deut. 17,3 where the Jewish idolater described had not been seduced by anyone. After having concluded the matter of the covenant between G’d and this second generation of Israelites many of whom had not been born at the time of the Exodus, Moses now proceeds to comfort the people over his impending death. He does so in order that the joy over G’d having concluded this covenant with them should not be turned into sorrow over the prospect of his impending passing from the scene. Rejoicing over having been found fit to become a party to such a covenant is something natural, the psalmist in Psalms 149,2 speaking of Israel rejoicing with or over its Maker. Being in G’d’s presence, such as here, is always a joyful experience, as is offering sacrifices to Him, as we know from Deut. 27,7.when the occasion was to mark the erecting of the stones after the successful crossing of the river Jordan.

And it. [Even though the word וּבֵינָו is read as וּבֵינָיו ] [which usually indicates the plural] nevertheless here, it refers to the Ark. Similarly, ‘Yisroel will rejoice in its Maker.’⁴Tehillim 149:2. In this verse too, the word בִעשָׂיו would seem to indicate a plural, yet it is singular, i.e., its Maker. Another explanation: there were actually two Arks,⁵Accordingly the word וּבֵינָיו correctly indicated a plural, i.e., the two Arks. there Ark of the Divine Presence, and the Ark containing the bones of Yosef, which travelled together.

בּוֹעֲלַיִךְ ,עשַׁׂיִךְ Thine husband, thy Maker. As to the use of the plural,¹¹בּוֹעֲלַיִךְ ,עשַֹׁיִךְ instead of בּוֹעֲלֵךְ ,עוֹשֵֹךְ. comp. בְּעשׇׁיו in Him that made him (Ps. 149:2); אלהים God; אדונים Lord; I have explained this in my commentary on Genesis (1:1).¹²I. E. calls this form דרך כבוד (pluralis majestatis), and compares it with the use of the plural in modern languages in addressing one person, and with the plural used by sovereigns when speaking in their edicts of themselves. בועליך Thine husband is here used for מלכך thy King. and עשיך thy Maker for אלהיך thy God.¹³The Hebrew text has the words והנה טעם בועליך כמו מלכך ואלהיך כמו. Lit. The meaning of thy husband is thy king and thy God, as e.g.; in his remark on בעולה (ver. 1), I. E. says that the king is the husband of the country; we separate therefore ואלהיך from מלכך, and consider it as the explanation of ועשיך, which is to be supplied; the emended text would be ועשיך כמו ואלהיך.
