גָּדַ֣ע בָּֽחֳרִי אַ֗ף כֹּ֚ל קֶ֣רֶן יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הֵשִׁ֥יב אָח֛וֹר יְמִינ֖וֹ מִפְּנֵ֣י אוֹיֵ֑ב וַיִּבְעַ֤ר בְּיַעֲקֹב֙ כְּאֵ֣שׁ לֶֽהָבָ֔ה אָכְלָ֖ה סָבִֽיב׃ (ס)
No furor da sua ira cortou toda a força de Israel; retirou para trás a sua destra de diante do inimigo; e ardeu contra Jacó, como labareda de fogo que tudo consome em redor.
Tze'enah Ure'enah
“He cut down” [2:3]. He cut down the rulers of Israel with wrath. He put his right hand behind his back, not to help Israel and he lit a fire over Jacob and burned everything around him.
Rashi
He withheld His right hand. He withdrew Himself as though withdrawing His right hand from waging war for his children.9His right hand is symbolic of strength and war. See Shemos 15:6.
