**מִי זֶה בָּא מֵאֱדוֹם.** נִתְנַבֵּא הַנָּבִיא עַל שֶׁאָמַר הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא שֶׁעָתִיד לַעֲשׂוֹת נְקָמָה בֶּאֱדוֹם, וְהוּא עַצְמוֹ בִּכְבוֹדוֹ יַהֲרֹג אֶת שַׂר שֶׁלָּהֶם תְּחִלָּה, כְּעִנְיָן שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (ישעיהו לד:ה) ״כִּי רִוְתָה בַשָּׁמַיִם חַרְבִּי״ וְאַחַר כָּךְ ״עַל אֱדוֹם תֵּרֵד״, וְנִכָּר בְּזַעַם פָּנָיו שֶׁהֲרָגָם הֶרֶג רַב. וְהַנָּבִיא מְדַבֵּר בִּלְשׁוֹן מִלְחֲמוֹת בְּנֵי אָדָם לְבוּשֵׁי בְּגָדִים, וּבְהָרְגָם הֶרֶג הַדָּם נִתָּז עַל בִּגְדֵיהֶם, כִּי כֵּן דֶּרֶךְ הַכְּתוּבִים מְדַבְּרִים בַּשְּׁכִינָה כְּדֶרֶךְ בְּנֵי אָדָם לְשַׂבֵּר אֶת הָאֹזֶן מַה שֶּׁהִיא יְכוֹלָה לִשְׁמוֹעַ, וְכֵן (יחזקאל מג:ב) ״וְקוֹלוֹ כְּקוֹל מַיִם רַבִּים״, דִּמָּה הַנָּבִיא קוֹל חָזָק שֶׁלּוֹ לְקוֹל מַיִם רַבִּים לְשַׂבֵּר אֶת הָאֹזֶן כְּדֶרֶךְ שֶׁאֶפְשָׁר לָהּ לִשְׁמוֹעַ, שֶׁאֵין לְהָבִין וּלְהַאֲזִין בְּרוּחַ גְּבוּרוֹת אֱלֹהֵינוּ לְהַשְׁמִיעָהּ כְּמוֹת שֶׁהִיא:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**Who is this coming from Edom** The prophet prophesies concerning what the Holy One, blessed be He, said that He is destined to wreak vengeance upon Edom, and He, personally, will slay their heavenly prince, like the matter that is said (supra 34:5), “For My sword has become sated in the heaven.” And afterward, (ibid.) “it shall descend upon Edom,” and it is recognizable by the wrath of His face that He has slain [them with] a great massacre, and the prophet is speaking in the expression of the wars of human beings, dressed in clothes, and when they slay a slaying, the blood spatters on their garments, for so is the custom of Scripture; it speaks of the Shechinah anthropomorphically, to convey to the ear what it can hear. Comp. (Ezek. 43:2) “His voice is like the voice of many waters.” The prophet compares His mighty voice to the voice of many waters to convey to the ear according to what it is possible to hear, for one cannot understand and hearken to the magnitude of the mighty of our God to let us hear it as it is.

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**Who is this coming from Edom** Israel says, “Who is this, etc.?” And He is coming with soiled garments, colored with blood, and anything repugnant because of its smell and its appearance fits to the expression of חִמּוּץ, soiling.

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**from Bozrah** Our Rabbis said (see Makkoth 12a): “The heavenly prince of Edom is destined to commit two errors. He thinks that Bozrah is identical with Bezer in the desert, which was a refuge city. He will also err insofar as it affords refuge only for inadvertent murder, but he killed Israel intentionally.” There is also an Aggadic midrash (see above 34:6) that because Bozrah supplied a king for Edom when its first king died, as in Gen. (36:33), “And Jobab the son of Zerah from Bozrah reigned in his stead,” and Bozrah is of Moab, according to the matter that is stated (Jer. 48:24): “Upon Kerioth and upon Bozrah.”
