וּמֵאָה קַיִץ. (תרגום:) ״וּמְאָה מְנָן דְּבֵילְתָּא״:
One hundred portions of dried figs. Yonoson translates: "One hundred portions of dried figs."
כֹּה יְקַלֵּל. כֵּן יְקַלֵּל:
He should curse [me] like this. He should curse like this.
ה׳ אָמַר לוֹ. אֶפְשָׁר אָדָם כְּמוֹתוֹ שֶׁהוּא רֹאשׁ לְסַנְהֶדְרִין, יְקַלֵּל אֶת הַמֶּלֶךְ אִם לֹא שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר לוֹ מֵאֵת הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא:
God told him. Is it possible that a man like him who is head of the Sanhedrin would curse the king if he were not told [to do so] by God?
יִרְאֶה ה׳ בְּעֵינִי. דִּמְעַת עֵינִי:
God will see [the tears] in my eyes. [Yonoson translates:] "The tears of my eyes."
וַיִּנָּפֵשׁ שָׁם. בְּבַחוּרִים:
And they rested there. In Bachurim.
וְחָזְקוּ יְדֵי כָּל אֲשֶׁר אִתָּךְ. כִּי עַתָּה יָדָם רָפָה לַעֲזֹר לְךָ, שֶׁאוֹמְרִים בְּלִבָּם הַבֵּן יִתְחָרֵט אֵצֶל אָבִיו, וָאָנוּ נִהְיֶה שְׂנוּאִים לַמֶּלֶךְ:
And you will strengthen the hands of all those who are with you. Because at present their hands are feeble in their ability to help you because they are saying [to themselves] in their hearts, "The son will change towards [and reconcile with] his father and we will be hated by the king.¹
