חָרְשִׁים הֶאֱרִיכוּ לְמַעֲנִיתָם. הוּא תֶּלֶם הַמַּחֲרֵשָׁה, ״כַּבַּחֲצִי מַעֲנָה צֶמֶד שָׂדֶה״ (שמואל א יד:יד):
the plowmen...they lengthened their furrow That is the hill of the plowshare, as (I Sam. 13: 14): “about half a furrow (מענה) [which] a yoke [of oxen plow in] a field.”
שֶׁקַּדְמַת שָׁלַף יָבֵשׁ. שֶׁקּוֹדֶם שֶׁיִּשְׁלְפוּהוּ וְיִתְלְשׁוּהוּ מִמְּקוֹמוֹ הוּא יָבֵשׁ:
which, before it is plucked, withers Which, before they pluck it and uproot it from its place, is withered.
וְחִצְנוֹ. כְּמוֹ ״וְהֵבִיאוּ בָנַיִךְ בְּחֹצֶן״ (ישעיהו מט:כב), אֵיישִׁילָ״א בְּלַעַ״ז, וְכֵן ״גַּם חָצְנִי נִעַרְתִּי״ (נחמיה ה:יג):
his arm Like (Isa. 49:22): “and they will bring your sons in [their] arms (בחצן),” aisselle in French, and so (Neh. 5:13): “Also I shook out my arm (חצני).”
