**the branch that was among the trees of the forest** Not about the vine of the vineyards, which produces fruit, am I asking you, but about the branch of a vine that grows in the forest.

**הִנֵּה לָאֵשׁ נִתַּן לְאָכְלָה.** אַרְבוֹרִי״ר בְּלַעַ״ז. הִנֵּה שְׁאַלְתִּיךָ עַל הַתָּמִים, וְאֵינוֹ רָאוּי לִכְלוּם, עַתָּה עוֹד אֲנִי מוֹסִיף עַל הַשְּׁאֵלָה: הִנֵּה אִם נִתְּנוּ זְמוֹרָה מִמֶּנּוּ בָּאֵשׁ וְאָכְלָה הָאֵשׁ בִּשְׁנֵי קְצוֹת הֵיקִיפָה עַד כִּי **נָחַר תּוֹכוֹ**:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**Behold, [if] it were given to the fire to be consumed** Adevorer in Old French, to be devoured, consumed. Behold I asked you about a whole one, which is not fit for anything. Now I shall add more to the question: Behold if they put a branch of it into the fire, and the fire consumed it at its two ends of its outer surface until its inside became charred...

**נָחַר.** נִשְׁאַר מִן הָאֵשׁ, בְּרוּאִיר בְּלַעַ״ז; **נָחַר** לְשׁוֹן ״וְעַצְמִי חָרָה מִנִּי חֹרֶב״ (איוב ל:ל). וְיֵשׁ לוֹעֲזִין אֶשָׁארְט בְּלַעַ״ז; וְכֵן ״וַיִּחַר עָלַי אַפּוֹ״ (איוב יט:יא) חִבְּרוֹ מְנַחֵם עִם ״עַצְמִי חָרָה״, **הֲיִצְלַח** עוֹד לִמְלָאכָה?

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**were charred** Heb. נָחָר, blackened from the fire, brouir in French, to blacken, to scorch. נָחָר derives from the same form found in (Job 30:30): “and my bones dried out (חָרָה) from the heat.” Some translate this as e(s)sart in Old French, calcined, burnt to ashes, as [its sense] in Hosea (8:5) and also in (Job 19:11): “He has kindled (וַיַחַר) His wrath against me.” Menachem (p. 93) [however] related it to “my bones dried out.” **is it fit** [Is it] still fit for work?

**כֵּן נָתַתִּי.** אֶת **יְרוּשָׁלִַם** שְׁתֵּי קְצוֹתֶיהָ אָכְלָה הָאֵשׁ, שְׁתֵּי גָלִיּוֹת: כְּשֶׁגָּלָה יְהוֹיָקִים גָּלוּ עִמּוֹ מִזֶּרַע הַמְּלוּכָה וּמִן הַפַּרְתְּמִים, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר בְּדָנִיֵּאל (דניאל א:ג). אַחֲרָיו גָּלָה יְכָנְיָה בְּנוֹ וְהֶחָרָשׁ וְהַמַּסְגֵּר (מלכים ב כד:יד-טו). **וְתוֹכוֹ נָחָר**: צִדְקִיָּהוּ הַנּוֹתָר בָּהּ, כְּבָר גְּזַרְתִּי עָלָיו ״מְלֹא חָפְנֶיךָ גַּחֲלֵי אֵשׁ וּזְרֹק עַל הָעִיר״ (לעיל י:ב):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**have I placed** Jerusalem. Its two ends were consumed by the fire, [i.e.,] the two exiles: When Jehoiakim was exiled, some of the royal seed and of the nobles were exile with him, as it is said in Daniel (1:3). After him were exiled his son Jeconiah and the craftsmen and the gate sentries. “And its inside was charred” [based on above, verse 4] Concerning Zedekiah, the one who remained therein, I have already decreed (10:2): “and fill your hands with fiery coals...and cast [them] onto the city.”

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**From the fire they have emerged** They transgressed the words of the Torah, which were given from fire, and nations as strong as fire will destroy them.
