Komentarz do Izajasza 19:9

Those who work at flax Who sow flax by the river.

שריקות Red.¹³A. V., Fire. Some compare it with משרק comb, but more correctly it is derived from שורק vine branch (5:2), and it signifies, having the colour of the vine branch, red; comp. שרקים red (Zac. 1:8).

to be combed Flax that they comb and from which they weave fish nets, which are made with many holes.

חורי It is either an adjective, meaning white,¹⁴A. V., Net-works. or a noun, signifying fine things, חוֹרָי being a plural form used instead of חורים; comp. חוֹרֵי the nobles of (Jer. 27:20).¹⁵As the Hebrew text stands וכמוהו חוֹרֵי יהודה, it is not clear what this instance is to prove; the regular construct state חוֹרֵי does not contribute anything to the explanation of the irregular form חוֹרָי. The text seems to be incorrect; after כמוהו some instance like חַלוֹנָי windows (Jer. 22:17), or נּוֹבַי grasshoppers (Am. 12:1) is expected, and instead of חורי יהודה we should perhaps read בהראות היו״ד the י being sounded. (See Rashi and Michlal Jophi ad locum.)

nets [lit. holes.] Since the suffix is irregular, ordinarily חוֹרִים Rashi enumerates similar instances e.g.,] (Psalms 8:5) “The beasts of the field (שָׂדָי)”; (Jer. 22:14) “And he will cut out for himself windows (חַלּוֹנָי).”
