Komentarz do Sędziów 18:27
וְהֵ֨מָּה לָקְח֜וּ אֵ֧ת אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֣ה מִיכָ֗ה וְֽאֶת־הַכֹּהֵן֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הָיָה־לוֹ֒ וַיָּבֹ֣אוּ עַל־לַ֗יִשׁ עַל־עַם֙ שֹׁקֵ֣ט וּבֹטֵ֔חַ וַיַּכּ֥וּ אוֹתָ֖ם לְפִי־חָ֑רֶב וְאֶת־הָעִ֖יר שָׂרְפ֥וּ בָאֵֽשׁ׃
Zabrawszy tedy to, co sporządził Micha, oraz kapłana, którego miał przy sobie, napadli na Laisz, na ludzi spokojnych i bezpiecznych, i poranili ich ostrzem miecza; miasto zaś spalili ogniem.
Rashi on Judges
Laish. The city's name. The book of Yehoshua entitles it "Leshem,"8Yehoshua 19:47. because they discovered, there, a precious gem called "leshem." This was inlaid in the Choshen plate,9The sacred Urim Vetumim oracles, which spelled out the Divine message for those inquirii of Adonoy. (Yoma, 73:b). and symbolized the tribe of Don, whose name was inscribed on it. Thus, they were certain that this was actually their ancestral property.
