Еврейская мысль к Йешайау 43:27

אָבִ֥יךָ הָרִאשׁ֖וֹן חָטָ֑א וּמְלִיצֶ֖יךָ פָּ֥שְׁעוּ בִֽי׃

Твой первый отец согрешил, И твои заступники согрешили против Меня.

Akeidat Yitzchak

Normally, we encounter the word eychah as introducing a lament. The term as described in our opening Midrash as fitting Israel when it was at the height of its glory, on a spiritually lofty plane, is therefore somewhat puzzling.
