**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**and your plunder shall be shared within you** Those dwelling within you shall share the plunder that you shall plunder [from] the enemies. And so does Jonathan render: And the house of Israel shall share the wealth of the peoples in your midst, O Jerusalem.

**וְיֶתֶר הָעָם לֹא יִכָּרֵת.** לֹא יִגְלוּ כֻּלָּם. וְלָמָּה יַנִּיחֵם לְהַגְלוֹת חֶצְיָם וְלָשֹׁסוֹת הַבָּתִּים? כְּדֵי שֶׁלֹּא יְהֵא לָהֶם פִּתְחוֹן פֶּה לֵאמֹר: לֹא לַמִּלְחָמָה בָּאנוּ, כִּי אִם לְהִשְׁתַּחֲווֹת בָּאנוּ:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**and the rest of the people** Not all of them will be exiled. Now, why will He permit them [i.e., the gentile nations] to exile half of them and to plunder the houses? So that they should not have an excuse, saying, “We have not come for war, but we have come to prostrate ourselves.”

**וְנִסְתַּם גֵּיא הָרַי.** יוֹנָתָן תִּרְגֵּם: ״וְיִסְתַּתֵּם גֵּיא הָרַי״. לְפִי שֶׁ״יְרוּשָׁלַיִם הָרִים סָבִיב לָהּ״ (תהלים קכה:ב), וְיֵשׁ גַּיְא בֵּין הַר שֶׁבַּצָּפוֹן וּבֵין הַר הַזֵּיתִים, וְכֵן בַּדָּרוֹם. וּכְשֶׁיִּמָּשֵׁךְ חֲצִי הַר הַזֵּיתִים אֵצֶל הַר שֶׁבִּצְפוֹנוֹ, יִסָּתֵם הַגַּיְא שֶׁבֵּינֵיהֶם, וְכֵן בַּדָּרוֹם:

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**And you shall flee to the valley of the mountains** Jonathan renders. And the valley of the mountains shall be stopped up. Since Jerusalem is surrounded by mountains, and there is a valley between the mountains in the north and the Mount of Olives, and [this is also] so in the south, when half of the Mount of Olives draws toward the mountain in the north, the valley between them will be stopped up. [This will also be] so in the south.

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

There shall not be light, only light that passes away, and thickness, i.e., there shall not be splendrous light, only יְקָרוֹת and קִפָּאוֹן shall [there] be. יְקָרוֹת An expression similar to (Ps. 37:20), “like the disappearing light over the plains.” Like a sort of light that appears in the morning over the mountains and disappears little by little.

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**neither day** Neither [will it be] a light of splendor, like the light of the world to come, as it is stated (Isa. 30:26): “The light of the sun shall be sevenfold as the light of the seven days.”

**spring water shall come forth from Jerusalem** and flow to the east by way of the crevice to... **the eastern sea** which is to the east of the world; and half of it will turn to the west, to the western sea. This is the spring concerning which Joel (4:18) prophesied: “And a spring shall emanate from the house of the Lord.” That is the spring concerning which Ezekiel (47:3) prophesied: “And he measured a thousand cubits and he made me pass through the water.”

**from the hill of Rimmon** We learned in Tosefta of Sotah (11:14): South of Jerusalem is a plain, and the hill of Rimmon is rocks and clods. Rather, so is [the] interpretation [of this phrase]: From the hill of Rimmon, which is a mountainous place from there [the mountains of the world] will begin to be changed, to [be] a plain; and they will be like the south of Jerusalem, which is a plain.

**until the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel** which will also be in its place; and from there shall extend the length of the city **until the king’s wine-cellars** Jonathan renders: the pits off the king, fosec in Old French. [This is] like [a word in] Baba Kamma 50b, “trenches and caves.” And so, all wine cellars in Scripture are expressions of trenches, referring to the pit that is before the wine press, into which the wine flows. And the Midrash Aggadah (Pesikta d’Rav Kahana p. 143a; Song Rabbah 7:4, cf. Mattenoth Kehunnah, Radal) [identifies] the pits of the king with the ocean: that Jerusalem will reach the end of the whole world, the pits dug out by the supreme King of kings.

**הַגָּשֶׁם.** גְּשָׁמִים מַמָּשׁ, לְהַצְמִיחַ פֵּרוֹת אַרְצָם. וּמָה רָאָה לִגְזֹר עֲלֵיהֶם עֲצִירַת גְּשָׁמִים? לְפִי שֶׁמִּצְוֹת הֶחָג עַל הַגְּשָׁמִים הֵם – אַרְבַּעַת מִינִים שֶׁבַּלּוּלָב וְנִסּוּךְ הַמַּיִם – לְרַצּוֹת עַל הַמַּיִם, עַל שֶׁהֶחָג זְמַן גִּשְׁמֵי שָׁנָה הוּא. וְאֵלּוּ הַמְפַקְפְּקִין בְּחַג הַסֻּכּוֹת, **לֹא עֲלֵיהֶם יִהְיֶה הַגָּשֶׁם.** כָּךְ לָמַדְתִּי בְּתוֹסֶפְתָּא דְּסֻכָּה (תוספתא סוכה ג:יח):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**rain** Actual rain to cause the produce of their land to grow. Now, what reason did He have for decreeing upon them the withholding of rain? That the commandments of the festival are based on the rains: the four species of the lulav and the water libation are to appease God for water. Since the festival of Tabernacles is the time of the rains of the year, no rain will fall on those who entertain doubts concerning the festival of Tabernacles. This is learned in the Tosefta of Sukkah (4:7).
