Комментарий о цитате к Шмот 10:8

The Hebrew preposition et before the word the heart seems to be extraneous; as I have explained, however [comment on Exodus 10: 8], it indicates the most important noun in a clause.

And what is written “The house of Israel called its name manna.” And it does not say “the children of Israel,” because the house of Israel refers to the women, as Rashi explained on the verse Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob — these are the women (Exodus 19:3). And it means that the women especially cherished the manna, therefore they called it by a name indicating the permanence of the thing, because they wanted it to remain as it revealed the righteousness of the women, as mentioned in tractate Yoma (75a): And the manna was like coriander seed — indicating who had sinned against whom — whether the husband against his wife or the wife against him. If the manna was found at her father’s house, then certainly her husband had sinned against her, and vice versa, etc. Therefore, the women cherished it in order to demonstrate their righteousness, because generally women are overcome by men. And this is the meaning of each man according to those in his tent shall take — for the needs of his wife who is in his tent. Because if it seemed to him that his wife was rebelling against him and there were no witnesses to the matter, then he would take the manna, as it would reveal all the events that occurred in his tent. And with this, the phrasing “for those who are in his tent” is precise, and immediately after it states And the manna was like coriander seed, because these depend on each other. And based on this, it seems to me that the term man is as written (Exodus 10:8) Who and who are going which Targum translates as “man uman,” so here too it would indicate who sinned against whom, which is the meaning of man. And according to the conclusion in the Talmud there that it would indicate whether a child was born after nine months to the first husband or after seven months to the second husband, it seems to me that man is from the language of counting, because through it they could count whether it was a nine-month child or a seven-month child.

ולכו עבדו את ה' כדברכם AND GO, SERVE THE LORD, AS YE HAVE SAID — everything shall be as you have said and not as I have said: annulled is what I have said, (5:2) “I will not let you go” (“Arise, go out”); annulled is, (10:8) “who are they that shall go?” (“go, both you and the children of Israel”); annulled is, (10:24) “but your flocks and herds must remain” (“Take also your flocks and herds”) (cf. Mekhilta).
