Comentário sobre II Reis 17:31
וְהָעַוִּ֛ים עָשׂ֥וּ נִבְחַ֖ז וְאֶת־תַּרְתָּ֑ק וְהַסְפַרְוִ֗ים שֹׂרְפִ֤ים אֶת־בְּנֵיהֶם֙ בָּאֵ֔שׁ לְאַדְרַמֶּ֥לֶךְ וַֽעֲנַמֶּ֖לֶךְ אלה [אֱלֹהֵ֥י] ספרים [סְפַרְוָֽיִם׃]
os aveus fizeram Nibaz e Tartaque: e os sefarvitas queimavam seus filhos no fogo e a adrameleque e a Anameleque, deuses de Sefarvaim.
