**וְגַם יֶקֶב חָצַב בּוֹ.** הַבּוֹר שֶׁלִּפְנֵי הַגַּת לְקַבֵּל הַיַּיִן, וְכֵן כָּל ״יֶקֶב״ שֶׁבַּמִּקְרָא לְשׁוֹן בּוֹר הוּא, וְכֵן ״עַד יִקְבֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ״ (זכריה יד:י) תַּרְגּוּם יוֹנָתָן ״עַד שִׁיחַיָּא דְמַלְכָּא״, הוּא עֹמֶק אוֹקְיָנוֹס, וְלָכֵן נוֹפֵל בּוֹ כָּאן לְשׁוֹן חֲצִיבָה, כְּמוֹ ״וּבֹרֹת חֲצוּבִים״ (דברים ו:יא):

Therefore, the expression of hewing applies, just like (Deut. 6:11): “and hewn pits.”

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**the shamir and desolation will come up** Heb. שָׁמִיר וָשָׁיִת. Menahem ben Seruk interprets them as kinds of thorns (Machbereth Menahem p. 176), but I say that “shamir” is a word denoting a strong worm that splits stones, with which Solomon built the Temple, like the matter that is written (Ezekiel 3:19), “Like a shamir, stronger than rock.”

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the House of Israel** To this vineyard are you compared, O House of Israel, for all that He did for this vineyard, He did for Israel. The vineyard represents Adam, for we find in Midrash Aggadah, in many places in Tanhuma, and in Genesis Rabbah [that] these passages are expounded concerning him, e.g., Adam was not expelled from Paradise until he reviled and blasphemed, as it is said: And He hoped to produce grapes,... (Gen. Rabbah 19:12). And in another place we find: He appointed guards over him that he should not eat from the Tree of Life, as it is said (verse 6): “And I will command the clouds...” (ibid. 21:8). And in this manner, [the following verses] can be expounded concerning him:

[Rashi on Isaiah 5:30:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Rashi%20on%20Isaiah/r/5:30:5)

**צַר וָאוֹר חָשַׁךְ.** כְּמוֹ ״וְכָשַׁל עוֹזֵר וְנָפַל עָזוּר״ (ישעיהו לא:ג), מִי שֶׁצַּר לוֹ שֶׁבָּאת עָלָיו הַצָּרָה, וְזֶה שֶׁבָּא לְהָאִיר לוֹ – שְׁנֵיהֶם חָשְׁכוּ. וְיֵשׁ פּוֹתְרִין: צַר הִיא הַלְּבָנָה שֶׁנִּתְמַעֲטָה, וְאוֹר הִיא הַחַמָּה:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**the distressed one and the light shall darken** Comp. (infra 31:3) “And the helper shall stumble and the one who is helped shall fall.” He who is distressed, upon whom the trouble has come, as well as he who comes to bring light to him, both of them will darken. Some interpret צַר as the moon, whose light was diminished, צַר [meaning narrow,] and אוֹר as the sun, [meaning light].

[Rashi on Isaiah 5:30:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Rashi%20on%20Isaiah/r/5:30:6)

**בַּעֲרִיפֶיהָ.** בְּבֹא מַאֲפֵלִיָּה שֶׁלָּהּ, לָשׁוֹן ״יַעֲרֹף כַּמָּטָר״ (דברים לב:ב), וְכֵן דֶּרֶךְ בַּעֲרוֹף מָטָר הָאוֹר מַאֲפִיל:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**in its eclipse** Heb. בַּעֲרִיפֶיהָ. When its darkening comes. An expression similar to (Deut. 32:2): “Shall drip (יַעֲרֹף) like rain,” for so is the nature that when rain falls, the light darkens.
