**בִּירוּשָׁלִַם יִהְיֶה שְּׁמִי לְעוֹלָם.** הַפָּסוּק קוֹבֵל: זֶה מְנַשֶּׁה שֶׁבָּנָה מִזְבְּחוֹת לַעֲבוֹדַת כּוֹכָבִים וּמַזָּלוֹת בַּבַּיִת שֶׁאָמַר הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא: אֲנִי רוֹצֶה שֶׁיִּשְׁכּוֹן שְׁמִי שָׁם. וְגַם פָּסוּק שֶׁאָמַר בְּסָמוּךְ לְשׁוֹן קוֹבְלָנָא הוּא: **וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת פֶּסֶל הַסֶּמֶל אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה בְּבֵית הָאֱלֹהִים וְגוֹ׳**, וְגַם הַפָּסוּק **וְלֹא אוֹסִיף לְהָסִיר אֶת רֶגֶל**:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**“In Jerusalem, My name shall be forever”** Scripture decries Manasseh, who built altars to pagan deities in the very House concerning which the Holy One, blessed be He, said, “I wish My name to rest there.” The verse stated after this (verse 7) is also an expression of decrying: “And he placed the graven image of the idol that he made in the House of God, concerning which, etc.” And also the verse (8): “And I will not continue to remove Israel’s feet, etc.”

**וְעָשָׂה אוֹב וְיִדְּעוֹנִי.** מָלֵא בְּוָי״ו, לְפִי שֶׁ**הִרְבָּה לַעֲשׂוֹת**; וְהוּא הוֹסִיף עַל **פֶּסֶל הַסֶּמֶל אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה**:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**and those who divine by the jidoa bone** - Heb. יִדְּעוֹנִי spelled in full with a “vav,” because he did much [evil], and he added to the graven image of the idol that he made. They would take the bone of an animal known as jidoa, and place it in their mouths, whence it would speak.

**וְלֹא אוֹסִיף לְהָסִיר אֶת רֶגֶל יִשְׂרָאֵל.** מוּסָב עַל פָּסוּק שֶׁל מַעְלָה (פסוק ז), וְהַכֹּל קוֹבְלָנָא הוּא, כְּלוֹמַר: הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא אוֹמֵר: כָּךְ אָמַרְתִּי אֶל דָּוִד וְאֶל שְׁלֹמֹה: בַּבַּיִת הַזֶּה אָשִׂים שְׁמִי שָׁם לְעוֹלָם, וְגַם הִבְטַחְתִּים: לֹא אוֹסִיף לְהָסִיר רֶגֶל יִשְׂרָאֵל **מֵעַל הָאֲדָמָה, רַק אִם יִשְׁמְרוּ וְגוֹ׳**; וְעַתָּה **וַיֶּתַע מְנַשֶּׁה וְגוֹ׳**. נִמְצָא שֶׁעַל יָדוֹ נִסְתַּלְּקָה שְׁכִינָה, וְגַם אָנוּ עֲדַיִן בַּגָּלוּת עַל יָדוֹ:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**And I will not continue to remove Israel’s feet** This refers back to the above verse, and all is a complaint; i.e., the Holy One, blessed be He, said, “So I said to David and to Solomon, ‘In this House I will place My name forever,’ and I also promised him, ‘And I will not continue to remove Israel’s feet from the land, if they will but observe, etc.’” But now **And Manasseh led astray, etc.** Because of him the Shechinah departed, and we are also still in exile because of him.

**וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ חוּצָה.** וְלֹא שִׁבְּרָם וְלֹא גְנָזָם מִן הָעַיִן, לְפִיכָךְ נִכְשַׁל בָּהֶם בְּנוֹ, כְּדִכְתִיב **וּלְכָל הַפְּסִילִים אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה מְנַשֶּׁה אָבִיו וְגוֹ׳**, שֶׁלָּקַח אוֹתָם מִמָּקוֹם שֶׁהִשְׁלִיךְ אוֹתָם:
