Komentaryo sa Exodo 34:7: Rashi, Chizkuni, Da'at Zekenim & Kli Yakar

נֹצֵ֥ר חֶ֙סֶד֙ לָאֲלָפִ֔ים נֹשֵׂ֥א עָוֺ֛ן וָפֶ֖שַׁע וְחַטָּאָ֑ה וְנַקֵּה֙ לֹ֣א יְנַקֶּ֔ה פֹּקֵ֣ד ׀ עֲוֺ֣ן אָב֗וֹת עַל־בָּנִים֙ וְעַל־בְּנֵ֣י בָנִ֔ים עַל־שִׁלֵּשִׁ֖ים וְעַל־רִבֵּעִֽים׃

nag-iingat ng kagandahang-loob hanggang sa libu-libong salinlahi, nagpapatawad ng kasamaan, ng paghihimagsik, at ng kasalanan; ngunit hindi Niya lubusang pinawawalang-sala ang may sala; pinaparusahan ang kasamaan ng mga ama sa mga anak, at sa mga anak ng mga anak, hanggang sa ikatlo at hanggang sa ikaapat na salinlahi.”

Da'at Zekenim

נוצר חסד לאלפים, “extending kindness to a thousand generations;” G–d undertakes to extend kindness to the descendants of the good and righteous fathers even of sinners. This concept has been repeated in Deuteronomy 7,9: where a time limit of one thousand generations is the limit. Rash’bam explains the apparent contradiction with our verse where the word לאלפים appears to mean at least two thousand, that we find, grammatically speaking, that a fourth generation, normally described as דור רביעי, is on occasion described as רבעים, with the plural mode ending. The same is true here. (Compare our verse) Therefore אלף or אלפים, can mean the same thing on occasion.
