הֲל֣וֹא זֶה֮ צ֣וֹם אֶבְחָרֵהוּ֒ פַּתֵּ֙חַ֙ חַרְצֻבּ֣וֹת רֶ֔שַׁע הַתֵּ֖ר אֲגֻדּ֣וֹת מוֹטָ֑ה וְשַׁלַּ֤ח רְצוּצִים֙ חָפְשִׁ֔ים וְכָל־מוֹטָ֖ה תְּנַתֵּֽקוּ׃
我所揀選的禁食，豈不是這樣嗎？就是要解開兇惡的捆綁，解下軛上的繩索，使受欺壓的人得自由，並且你們要折斷一切的軛。
Jerusalem Talmud Taanit
Rebbi Eleazar said: Is that a fast day which I would prefer, that is a day where a person deprives himself? This is not a day to my liking. What is a day to my liking? Is not this a day I would prefer, opening chains of evil, unbinding fetters of the yoke. Is it not breaking your bread for the hungry, and bring to the house the poor persecuted ones. What is written after this? Then you will call and the Eternal will answer,47Is. 58:5,7,9. The spelling פרוש against masoretic פרס is confirmed by Babli Bava batra9a and is not to be explained away (cf. Mesoret Hashas Babli9a, Note 2.) etc.
