**וַתַּגֵּר.** וְתַשְׁפֵּל, כְּמוֹ ״וְהִגַּרְתִּי לַגַּיְא אֲבָנֶיהָ״ (מיכה א:ו); שֶׁהָיוּ מַסְגִּירִין אוֹתָן לְאוֹיְבֵיהֶן כְּשֶׁהָיוּ בּוֹרְחִין דֶּרֶךְ אַרְצָם, וְזוֹ הִיא שֶׁאָמַר ״אַל תַּעֲמֹד עַל הַפֶּרֶק״ (עובדיה א:יד):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**and you hurled** [Heb. וַתַּגֵר,] you cast down, as (Micah 1:6): “and I will cast (וְהִגַרְתִּי) its stones down into the valley,” for they would deliver them to their enemies as they fled through their land, and this is what Obadiah (1:14) says: “And you should not have stood by the gap [to cut off their fugitives, nor should you have delivered their survivors on the day of distress].”

**דָּם שָׂנֵאתָ.** בָּזִיתָ אֶת הַבְּכוֹרָה, שֶׁעֲבוֹדָתִי הָיְתָה מְסוּרָה לָהֶם, וְשָׂנֵאתָ לִהְיוֹת מְלַכְלֵךְ עַצְמְךָ בְּדַם קָרְבַּן עֲבוֹדָתִי, וְלִכְלוּךְ **דָּם** הֲרוּגִים **יִרְדְּפֶךָ** (בראשית רבה סג:יג). וְיֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים: רוֹצְחִים אַתָּה יָרֵא כְּשָׁאָר כָּל אָדָם, וְרוֹצְחִים יִרְדְּפוּךָ; וְיֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים: **דָּם שָׂנֵאתָ** אָחִיךָ, שֶׁהוּא בְּשָׂרְךָ וְדָמְךָ:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**you hated blood** You despised the birthright, for its sacrificial service was handed over to them (sic), but “you hated” to filthy yourself with the blood of sacrificial offerings in worship of Me. And the filth of the blood of the slain will pursue you. Others say: You hated the blood of circumcision (Gen. Rabbah 63:13). Others say: You fear murderers just as anyone else, and murderers will pursue you. Others say: “You hated blood,” [meaning that you hated] your brother, who is your flesh and blood.

**וְעָרֶיךָ לֹא תָשׁוֹבְנָה.** לֹא כְּמוֹ שֶׁאָמַרְתִּי לְמִצְרַיִם ״וְשַׁבְתִּי אֶת שְׁבוּת מִצְרָיִם״ (יחזקאל כט:יד); ״וְשַׁבְתִּי אֶת שְׁבוּת בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן״ (ירמיהו מט:ו). וְזוֹ הִיא שֶׁאָמַר מַלְאָכִי ״וְאֶת עֵשָׂו שָׂנֵאתִי וָאֶתֵּן אֶת הָרָיו שְׁמָמָה״ (מלאכי א:ג) – שֶׁעֲתִידִים לְשִׁמְמוֹת עוֹלָם:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**and your cities will not return** [Heb. תָשֹּׁבְנָה,] not as I said about Egypt (above 29:14): “And I will return the captives of Egypt”; (Jer. 49:6): “And afterward, I will return the captivity of the children of Ammon.” And this is what Malachi (1:3) said, “And I hated Esau, and I made his mountains desolate,” for I made them destined for everlasting desolations.

**שְׁנֵי הַגּוֹיִם.** יִשְׂרָאֵל וִיהוּדָה; וּמִדְרַשׁ אַגָּדָה רַבִּי תַּנְחוּמָא (בראשית רבה סז:ח) דּוֹרְשׁוֹ כְּלַפֵּי שֶׁהָלַךְ עֵשָׂו אֶל יִשְׁמָעֵאל לְהִתְחַתֵּן בּוֹ, לְהַשִּׂיאוֹ שֶׁיְּעוֹרֵר עַל יִצְחָק עַל יְרֻשַּׁת אַבְרָהָם, וְיַהֲרֹג יִשְׁמָעֵאל אֶת יִצְחָק, וְאֶהְיֶה אֲנִי גּוֹאֵל הַדָּם וְאֶהֱרֹג אֶת יִשְׁמָעֵאל. וְזֶהוּ ״יִקְרְבוּ יְמֵי אֵבֶל אָבִי״ (בראשית כז:מא), וְאִירַשׁ אֲנִי אֶת יִצְחָק וְאֶת יִשְׁמָעֵאל:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**The two nations** Israel and Judah. The Midrash Aggadah of Rabbi Tanchuma (source unknown) explains it regarding [the incident in] which Esau went to Ishmael to become his son in law in order to persuade him to contest Isaac concerning the inheritance of Abraham, and [in order that] Ishmael would kill Isaac, and [he thought] “I will be the avenger of blood and kill Ishmael.” This is the meaning of (Gen. 27:41): “Let the days of mourning for my father draw near.” And I will inherit both Isaac and Ishmael.
