At ilaladlad ko ang aking lambat sa kanya, at mahuhuli siya sa aking bitag; at dadalhin ko siya sa Babilonia, sa lupain ng Caldea; ngunit hindi niya iyon makikita, at doon siya mamamatay.
Ezra ben Solomon
When God established His throne during creation’s six days,
he formed two fawns,7 Adam and Eve.
twins of a gazelle,
placing them in a domicile of delight,
a chamber with figures inlaid.
Nothing was denied them,
no false divinity was in their midst
nor anything of evil.
The intent of their creation
was that they would be a seed of truth,
“holy seed their stock” [Isa. 6:21],
so that they might stroll among stones of fire,8 Following Ezek. 12:13–14, referring to the angels.
among the angelic watches,
while the shekhinah herself would walk in the lower worlds.

By way of the gate between the two walls. A cave went from his house until the Plains of Yericho, and he fled through the cave. The Holy One, Blessed Is He, ordained a deer walking on the roof of the cave. and the Kasdim pursued the deer, and when they reached the cave's entrance in the Plains of Yericho, they saw him and captured him. This is what [Scripture] states, ”And I will spread My net over him, and he shall be caught in My snare.”2Yechezkeil 12:13.
Rashi
by way of the king’s garden He had a cave from his house to the plains of Jericho, and he went out at night by way of the cave. What did the Holy One, blessed be He, do to fulfill “And I will spread My net over him” (Ezek. 12:13)? He prepared a deer before the Chaldeans walking on the roof the cave outside the city, and they ran after it to seize it, and it ran up to the entrance of the cave, and they saw Zedekiah going out of the cave.
Rashi
dig for yourself in the wall Symbolic of Zedekiah, who [later] went out through a tunnel [leading into] a cave, for he was afraid to go out in the open because of the Chaldeans.
Rashi
And I will spread My net over him as I explained above at the beginning of the Book (12:13): that He set up a deer to walk on the roof of the cave.
