What is "Ru'ach Chen v'Sachanunim"?

1.

Rashi: It will cross their Ru'ach to supplicate in front of Me, and they will have grace in My eyes. Ru'ach is spirit.

2.

Rashi citing Targum Yonasan: They will request from Me, for that they were dislocated.

3.

Radak: They will find grace in My eyes, and I will save them from the Goyim who come against them. The matter is repeated in different words to strengthen it.

4.

Radak citing Targum Yonasan: A Ru'ach of Chesed and mercy.

5.

Radak citing his father: He will have grace in everyone's eyes, and your supplications will be accepted in front of Me.

6.

Malbim: Via [the death of Mashi'ach ben Yosef], they will seek Hashem with supplications, and attain grace from him. If Mashi'ach Hashem, who was in His shade, fell in war, they will be aroused in Teshuvah and Tefilah.

2)

Why does it say "v'Hibitu Elai Es Asher Dakaru"?

1.

Rashi: They will mourn over those whom the nations killed during the Galus.

2.

Malbim: They will understand that he died due to the sin of the generation. It is as if they stabbed him via their sins. They will look to Hashem to return to him.

3)

Over whom will they eulogize?

1.

Rashi: Those who were killed.

4)

What is the comparison to "Misped Al Yachid"?

1.

Rashi: Like one eulogizes over his only son. Radak ? it said that Hashem will shield over them (8)! It mentioned the high levels that elevate them. How will the Goyim be able to stab someone in war, even a commoner? It is so severe, for it is the beginning of Yisrael being humbled in front of their enemies. So Yehoshua was humbled when Anshei Ai killed [one man, who was equal to] 36 men (Yehoshua 7:7-8).

2.

Rashi citing Sukah 52b: It is for Mashi'ach ben Yosef, who was killed 1 .


1

Radak: This is astounding. Why did the verse not say so explicitly?

5)

What is "Hamer"?

1.

Radak: It is bitterness of heart.

2.

Malbim: Initially, they will eulogize like a eulogy over an only son ? there is no one to replace him. Afterwards, when Mashi'ach ben David will be revealed, they will have a bitter eulogy like over a Bechor, for [Mashi'ach ben Yosef] was the first to save them.
