**יַעַן מַחְאֲךָ יָד וְרַקְעֲךָ בְּרָגֶל.** לְשֵׁם שִׂמְחָה; וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁבְּרֹאשׁ הַסֵּפֶר אָמַר כֵּן לְעִנְיַן אֵבֶל, ״הַכֵּה בְכַפְּךָ וּרְקַע בְּרַגְלֶךָ וֶאֱמֹר אָח״ (יחזקאל ו:יא), יֵשׁ דְּבָרִים שֶׁעוֹשִׂין אוֹתָם לְאֵבֶל וּלְשִׂמְחָה, אֲבָל אֵין עִנְיָנָם שָׁוֶה, וְכֵן חֲלִילִים לְכַלָּה וְלַמֵּת (משנה בבא מציעא ו.):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**Because you clapped with your hand and stamped with your foot** for joy. Although he said this at the beginning of the Book in reference to mourning (6:11): “Strike with your hand and stamp with your foot, and say, Ah!” there are things that are done for [both] mourning and joy, but the idea behind them is not the same. Similarly, flutes for a bride and for the dead.

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**and stamped** [Heb. וְרַקְעֲךָ,] an expression of stamping.

[Rashi on Ezekiel 25:6:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Rashi%20on%20Ezekiel/r/25:6:3)

**בְּכָל שָׁאטְךָ.** לְשׁוֹן בִּזָּיוֹן פּוֹתְרִין בּוֹ, כְּמוֹ ״וַיִּבֶז עֵשָׂו״ (בראשית כה:לד) שֶׁתַּרְגּוּם אוּנְקְלוֹס ״וְשָׁאט עֵשָׂו״. וַאֲנִי אוֹמֵר שָׁאט לְשׁוֹן שֶׁטֶף, גולוזמנ״ט בְּלַעַ״ז:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**with all the disdain** [Heb. שָּׁאטְךָ,] interpreted as an expression of disdain, like (Gen. 25:34): “and Esau despised,” which Onkelos renders: וְשָׁט, but I say that שָּׁאטְךָ is an expression of lust, golozemant or golosement in Old French, ardent desire, gluttony.

**הִנֵּה כְּכָל הַגּוֹיִם בֵּית יְהוּדָה.** בָּטְלָה אַהֲבַת הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא מֵהֶם, וְנִמְאֲסוּ לָתֵת בְּיַד נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּר כִּשְׁאָר הָעוֹבְדֵי כּוֹכָבִים וּמַזָּלוֹת. וּמִדְרַשׁ אַגָּדָה (יומא נד.-נד:), שֶׁנִּכְנְסוּ לַהֵיכָל וְקִפְּלוּ צוּרוֹת הַכְּרוּבִים שֶׁצָּר שְׁלֹמֹה עַל קִיר הַהֵיכָל ״כְּמַעַר אִישׁ וְלֹויוֹת״ (מלכים א ז:לו), וְהוֹצִיאוּם לַחוּץ, אָמְרוּ: רְאוּ אֵלּוּ שֶׁהָיוּ מַרְאִים עַצְמָם כִּצְנוּעִים, בַּמֶּה הָיוּ עוֹסְקִין:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**Behold the house of Judah is like all the nations** The love of the Holy One, blessed be He, has been annulled from them, and they are rejected, to be given into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar like the other nations. The Midrash Aggadah (see Lam. Rabbah, Proem 9) [says] that they entered the Temple and peeled off the pictures of the cherubim that Solomon had painted on the wall of the Temple (I Kings 7:36): “according to the attachment of a man and the joining, etc.” They took them outside and said, “Look at what these [Jews], who were showing themselves as decent people, were occupied with.”

**הִנְנִי פוֹתֵחַ.** אֶת מִבְצְרֵי אֶרֶץ מוֹאָב אֲשֶׁר בִּסְפָר, בְּסוֹף גְּבוּלָם, הוּא **הַכָּתֵף**, סוֹף גְּבוּל אַרְצָם; כְּמוֹ ״וְלַכָּתֵף הַשֵּׁנִית״, ״אֶל הַכָּתֵף״ (שמות כז:טו), דִּמְתַרְגֵּם: ״לְעִיבְרָא״:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**behold I will expose** the fortresses of the land of Moab that are on the border at the end of their boundary; that is the flank, the end of the boundary of their land, like (Exod. 27:15): “And on the other side,” to the flank, which Targum [Jonathan] translates לְעִיבְרָא, to the side.

**יַעַן עֲשׂוֹת פְּלִשְׁתִּים בִּנְקָמָה.** בְּשִׂנְאָה וּבְפֶרֶךְ, כְּאָדָם הַנּוֹקֵם נִקְמָתוֹ בְּאוֹיְבוֹ:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**

[Rashi on Ezekiel 25:16:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Rashi%20on%20Ezekiel/r/25:16:1)

**אֶת כְּרֵתִים.** ״עַמָּא דְחַיָּיבִין לְאִישְׁתִּיצָאָה״. וְאוֹמֵר אֲנִי: לְפִי שֶׁרָאִיתִי בְּמָקוֹם אַחֵר קוֹרֵא אֶל פְּלִשְׁתִּים כְּרֵתִים, ״הוֹי יוֹשְׁבֵי חֶבֶל הַיָּם גּוֹי כְּרֵתִים״ (צפניה ב:ה), וְאֵינוֹ קוֹרֵא כֵּן לְאוּמָּה אַחֶרֶת, נִרְאֶה בְּעֵינַי שֶׁיֵּשׁ גְּבוּל בִּפְלִשְׁתִּים שֶׁשְּׁמוֹ כְּרֵתִי, וְכֵן אֲנִי מוֹצֵא בְּסֵפֶר שְׁמוּאֵל (שמואל א ל:יד) בַּגְּדוּד שֶׁשָּׂרַף אֶת צִקְלַג ״אֲנַחְנוּ פָּשַׁטְנוּ עַל נֶגֶב הַכְּרֵתִי״:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**the Cherethites** [Heb. כְּרֵתִים,] a nation deserving of being cut off (Targum). But I say, because I saw elsewhere that Scripture calls the Philistines כְּרֵתִים (Zeph. 2:5): “Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, the nation of (כְּרֵתִים),” and it does not give any other nation this appellation, it appears to me that there is a region of Philistia called Chereth, and so I find in the Book of (I) Samuel (30:14), concerning the group that set fire to Ziklag: “We made a raid on the south of the Cherethites.”

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**the seacoast** [Heb. חוֹף הַיָם,] marche in Old French, frontier, borderland. They are Philistines, who live in the southwestern corner of the land of Israel on the Western (Mediterranean) Sea.
