ולא יחללו וגו׳ אשר וגו׳. Die Konstruktion ist schwierig. אשר הם וגו׳ scheint sich nur auf קדשי ב׳׳י beziehen zu können und wäre dann ולא יחללו וגו׳ zwischen das Objekt und dessen Relativbestimmung eingeschaltet, eine Satzfügung, die nicht gewöhnlich ist. Wahrscheinlicher aber dürfte die Konstruktion eine normale sein und das אשר וגו׳ sich auf das unmittelbar vorhergehende Objekt שם קדשי beziehen. Der Ausdruck שם, insbesondere auf Gott bezogen, geht nämlich sehr häufig über den Begriff "Name" in engster Bedeutung hinaus, ohne im Grunde die Sphäre dieses Begriffes zu verlassen. Ein Name ist ja nichts als das phonetische, aus Lauten gebildete Mittel der Erkenntnis oder Anerkenntnis einer Sache oder Person. Der Name Baum usw. von einem Objekt gebraucht, lehrt denselben erkennen, ist ein Mittel der Erkenntnis desselben. Der Name Vater, Herr usw. einer Person beigelegt, wird ein Mittel zur Erkenntnis oder Anerkenntnis derselben. Der Gebrauch des Wortes שם geht nun über den Kreis bloßer phonetischer Mittel hinaus und bezeichnet überhaupt nicht selten auch jedes andere Mittel der Erkenntnis und Anerkenntnis. Jesaias 55, 13 heißt die ganze durch das Gotteswort zu bewirkende Umgestaltung der Verhältnisse, wenn sie vollendet dasteht: Gottes Namen, d. i. ein bleibendes Mittel der Erkenntnis und Anerkenntnis Gottes, והיה לד׳ לשם לאות עולם לא יכרת. Jirmija 33, 9 wird einst das wiederhergestellte Jerusalem zu einem "heiteren Gottesnamen" והיתה לי לשם ששון usw.
Rabbeinu Bahya
את קרבני לחמי, “My offering, My bread.” The words שנים ליום, mean “two sheep per day, one in the morning and one in the evening,” not both at the same time (verse 4).
We find that King Solomon consumed far more than that as is spelled out in Kings 5, 2-3: “Solomon’s daily provisions consisted of 30 kors of semolina, 60 kors of ordinary flour; 10 fattened oxen, 20 pasture-fed oxen, 100 sheep and goats, besides deer, gazelles, roebuck and fatted geese.” The author (of Kings) appears to contrast Proverbs 13,25: “a righteous person eats (enough) to satisfy his soul (life-force), whereas the belly of the wicked will always feel in need.” Eliezer, Avraham’s trusted servant is an example of the righteous mentioned by Solomon, seeing that he asked Rivkah to only let him sip a little water from her jug (Genesis 24,17). Esau, on the other hand, demanded from Yaakov that he let him “gulp down the red stuff” (Genesis 25,30).
We find that in Job 37,23 Elihu tells Job that “Shaddai we cannot attain to Him, He is great in power and Justice,” whereas in Job 36,22 the same Elihu proclaims: “see, G’d is beyond reach in His power; who governs like Him?” [This suggests we can appreciate His greatness. Ed.]. How can these two verses be reconciled? When G’d gives to us He gives according to His power; when He asks of us He asks much less than is due Him, demanding only that we give according to our means. To illustrate: the Torah writes in Exodus 26,1 that the coverings for the Tabernacle be made of ten carpet-like strips of cloth; this is an illustration of the verse in Job 37,23, seeing “we cannot attain to Him, providing Him with His needs.” Similarly, when the Torah asks the Jewish people to provide olive oil for the Menorah in the Tabernacle (Exodus 27,20) the request is one well within the power of the Israelites to fulfill. Similarly, the Torah asks the farmer to present merely the first ripe fruit of his orchard to the Lord (Exodus 23,19). On the other hand, when the Bible describes G’d’s largess to man, such as in Ezekiel 47,12 the wording is: “all kinds of trees for food will grow up on both sides of the river. Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fall; they will yield new fruit every month; each tree will produce new ‘first-fruit’ every single month.” This is a perfect illustration of the imbalance of what G’d asks of us and what He is prepared to provide for us. The author quotes a few more verses depicting the generous measure of G’d’s largess.

and in the thornbushes the places of the thorns called broces [briars]. And similarly (infra 55:13): “Instead of the thornbush (הנַּעֲצוּץ) the fir tree shall come up.”
