מִֽי־שָׁמַ֣ע כָּזֹ֗את מִ֤י רָאָה֙ כָּאֵ֔לֶּה הֲי֤וּחַל אֶ֙רֶץ֙ בְּי֣וֹם אֶחָ֔ד אִם־יִוָּ֥לֵֽד גּ֖וֹי פַּ֣עַם אֶחָ֑ת כִּֽי־חָ֛לָה גַּם־יָלְדָ֥ה צִיּ֖וֹן אֶת־בָּנֶֽיהָ׃
誰曾聽見這樣的事？誰曾看見這樣的事？一地豈能在一日之內誕生？一個民族豈能一下子就生出來？然而錫安一開始陣痛，就生下了她的兒女。
Rashi
you were dug Heb. נֻקַּרְתֶּם, an expression similar to (Ex. 33.22) “The cleft (נִקְרַת) of the rock”; (Prov. 30:17) “The ravens of the brook shall pick it (יִקְּרוּהָ).” And who is the rock? He is Abraham your forefather. And who is the hole? She is Sarah who bore you. [תְּחוֹלֶלְכֶם means] ‘who bore you,’ an expression similar to (infra 66: 8) “For Zion experienced pangs (חָלָה) and also bore.”
Rashi
as a happy mother of children (Isa. 66:8): “that Zion both experienced birth pangs and bore her children.”
Ibn Ezra
He that saith to his father, etc. Or can the son before his birth say to his father, What wilt thou beget,13A. V., What begettest thou. What hast thou brought forth.13A. V., What begettest thou. What hast thou brought forth. or to the woman, that is, to his mother, what wilt thou bring forth? תחילין Thou will bring forth. Comp. כי חלה נם ילדה ציון Zion travailed, she brought forth (66:8)
