פּירוש אויף בראשית 3:11

מי הגיד לך WHO TOLD THEE? — Whence has the knowledge come to you what shame there is in standing naked?

The Holy One said to him, "From your words, you are caught! How many times did I come to you and you were not concerned that you were naked." As it is written above (Genesis 2:25), "The two of them were naked." "But now you are concerned? Who told you that you were naked?" As only something that is fit for clothing, but does not have any, is called naked. It is not customary to say that a beast is naked, since it is not fit for clothing. For it is covered with the covering that is fit for it. And even great people who wear inferior clothing call themselves naked, because they do not have clothes that are fit for them. "And you also call yourself, naked" - meaning to say, that you are fit for clothes. "Who told you that you are fit for clothes? From the tree whereof, etc."

המן העץ אשר צויתיך לבלתי אכול ממנו, אכלת? “Did you eat from the tree which I had commanded you not to eat from?” [this is the plain meaning of that line. Ed.] [Our author claims that there is a Midrash (Esther Rabbah 92) according to which the peculiar positioning of the word: ה-מ-ן, where we would have expected the word האכלת, “did you eat?” at the outset, conveys an additional meaning, i.e. a hint that the tree Haman would be hanged from is already alluded to here, as the words: המן העץ could be understood as meaning “Ha-m an, the tree” would be hanged from that tree,” i.e. Adam’s sin also had a positive result, that tree had now become a source of potential disaster for the Antisemites. Our author adds the words: “G–d said to Eve that He had meant to hang her,” something that I have found no source for. Wherever I have found a reference to it, the statement in this book is quoted as the source. Ed.]
