לֹא דֻכְּאוּ. לִבָּם מֵרָעָתָם:
They were not crushed Their hearts were not crushed because of their evil.
כִּי אִם פְּלִיטִים. יִרְמְיָה וּבָרוּךְ חָזְרוּ לְשָׁם, שֶׁהִגְלָה נְבוּכַדְנֶאצַּר כְּשֶׁנִּתְּנָה אֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם בְּיָדוֹ בְּעֶשְׂרִים וְשֶׁבַע לְמָלְכוֹ (יחזקאל כט:יז-כ). כָּךְ שְׁנוּיָה בְּסֵדֶר עוֹלָם (סדר עולם רבה כו):
only fugitives Jeremiah and Baruch returned from there, for Nebuchadnezzar exiled them when the land of Egypt was delivered into his hand in the twenty-seventh year of his reign (Ezek. 29:17). So we learned in Seder Olam (ch. 26).
הֲמִבַּלְעֲדֵי אֲנָשֵׁינוּ. שֶׁלֹּא מִדַּעְתָּם:
without our husbands Without their knowledge.
כַּוָּנִים לְהַעֲצִיבָהּ. דְּפוּסִים כִּדְמוּת עֲצַבִּים (עֲצַבִּים דְּמוּת עַלְמָה כְּמוֹ לְעֵיל כב):
cakes in her image Heb. כונים להעצבה, molds in the shape of idols (idols in the shape of a young lady as above ch. 22:28).
וְלֹא יוּכַל ה׳ עוֹד לָשֵׂאת. כְּמוֹ וְלֹא יָכוֹל:
And He could no longer bear Heb. ולא יוּכַל, like ולא יָכוֹל, and He could not.
פַּרְעֹה חָפְרַע. ״פַּרְעֹה תְּבִירָא״ (תרגום יונתן); וְחִי״ת זוֹ מְשַׁמֶּשֶׁת בִּמְקוֹם הֵ״א:
Pharaoh Hophra Heb. פרעה חפרע, rendered by Jonathan as פרעֹה תבירה, the broken Pharaoh, and this ‘heth’ serves instead of a ‘heh.’
