הַכְּמַכַּ֥ת מַכֵּ֖הוּ הִכָּ֑הוּ אִם־כְּהֶ֥רֶג הֲרֻגָ֖יו הֹרָֽג׃
Schlug denn [Gott das Volk Israel] wie er seinen Schläger schlug? Oder wurde es gleich dem Morde seiner Gemordeten niedergemacht?
Rashi on Isaiah
Like the smiting of him who smote him did He smite him Have you seen My might, that like the smiting of the one who smote Jacob, I smote him. They drowned them in the water, and I drowned them in the water. There are some other rhetorical questions that warrant an affirmative answer, e.g. (I Sam. 2:27), “Did I appear to the house of your father?” Also (Ezek. 8:6), “Do you see what they are doing?”
Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
Hath he smitten him, etc. This prophecy refers to the fall of Samaria, to which alone the expression אשרים groves can be applied.22It is not clear at all how the mention of the groves can prove that this prophecy refers to Samaria, since this capital was not the only place that contained groves, and whose inhabitants were idolaters.
Rashi on Isaiah
like the slaying of Israel, who were the slain ones of Pharaoh, were Pharaoh and his people slain?
