What is the meaning of "ha'Semalei v'Sukos Oro"?

1.

'Rashi': Will you fulfill your desire, and make huts out of its skin?

2.

Ibn Ezra: Sukos is [thorns,] like "l'Sikim b'Eineichem." Will you fill its skin with thorns, until you will take it?

3.

Malbim: Can you be Molel (scrape) and cut off the head 1 with Sukos, i.e. big knives used to cut fish?


1

The Reisha discusses the skin, and not the head! Perhaps the text should say Oro. (PF)

What do we learn from "uv'Tziltzal Dagim Rosho"?

1.

'Rashi': This repeats the Reisha. Will you make a Tziltzal out of its head? It is called Tziltzal Dagim, for it is made from a fish. Tziltzal is a hut, an expression of Tzel (shade); the root is doubled, like Yerakrak, Pesaltol, Kaka.

2.

Ibn Ezra: There is nothing like Tziltzal in Tanach. It is like a thorn in the fish's bones. It makes a hole in the head; fish are caught via this.

3.

Malbim: Will you cut off the head with a big knife used to cut off the head of big fish?
