Комментарий о цитате к Ийова 8:8

כִּֽי־שְׁאַל־נָ֭א לְדֹ֣ר רִישׁ֑וֹן וְ֝כוֹנֵ֗ן לְחֵ֣קֶר אֲבוֹתָֽם׃

Я спрашиваю тебя, бывшего поколения, и спрашивай себя о том, что искали их отцы.—

Malbim

The Shuite debater chooses a different approach, one he claims to have received as a tradition from his forefathers (Ch.8:8).

Abarbanel

But in my opinion, the pasuk can be translated in a more simple way. The word "tzinah" means "cold" in the pasuk in Mishlei (Proverbs 25:13) (tangentially, the Abarbenel suggests the that the word "tzinah" meaning cold maybe whyit means shields and armor since these shade a person from the sun keeping him cold). The word "acharischen" means the end of a person as it is used in Job (Job 8:7). The word "sirot" is from the word "sir" meaning a pot of meat. So altogether the pasuk means that the women will go into exile and will be exiled through cold and snow, despite having lived in warmed palaces (as the pasuk states they had winter and summer palaces) and now will be forced into the cold winter night. And in Shomron they ate delicacies of meat, bread and many other foods and royal wine, but in their exile they will have a bad end since they will only be able to eat pots of fish. We know from the Israelites complaint in the desert that "we remember the fish we ate in Egypt" that slaves are generally given the free cheap fish to eat.
