Menachem ben Saruk 214 explains it [−Ìþ−Ìþμ] BLÐþ−Ñt šeþÖ½öÓaóÑìÔòÐô

Going toward Zoar. .øÇòÉöäÈëÂàÉa meaning, “it will tear up its roots.” ,Öí−ÓLÖþÖLþÑwÔ¼Ðz
[Meaning:] until Zoar. .þÔ¼Ò®ðÔ¼ Similarly −Ìþ−Ìþμ means childless— ,ó−ÌòÖaþÔ½Îì−Ìþ−Ìþμ öBLÐñCÔk
The Midrashic interpretation 86 explains it disparagingly. ,−êÔòÐèÌñdÖLÐþÒcíÖðÖbÔêLÔþÐðÌôe in Old French desanfantez. 218 .¾"−¬òõòê¾−ð ïÔ¼ÔñÐëe

The Midrashic interpretation 89 is; :íÖðÖbÔêLÔþÐðÌôe As Onkelos translates it, 224 [meaning:] ,BôebÐþÔ³Ðk
he removed himself from the One Who precedes the world, ,óÖñB¼ ñÓL BòBôÐðÔwÌôBôЮԼԼ−ÌqÌí “That my entire household is fed by his orders,” ,î−ÌtñÔ¼ öBïÖò−̳−ÑañÖkÓL

213 What is the meaning and root of −Ìþ−Ìþμ? 214 A lexicographer of 10th century Spain. 215 Malachi 2, 12—which
[13] The people of Sedom were wicked. 91 .íéÄòÈø íBãÀñéÅLÀðÇàÀå [âé]
the Targum translates as “son and grandson.” 216 I.e., a word that means the opposite of itself. A parallel in English
And yet Lot did not refrain from residing with them. .óÓíÖn̼ öBkÐLÌlÌô ¬Bñ ¼ÔòÐôÌòêGöÑ×−ÌtñÔ¼¹ÔêÐî
would be “pitted,” meaning without pits. 217 Iyov 31, 12. 218 According to Menachem þѼ and −þ−þ¼ are of the same
86 Of every reference in this verse. 87 I.e., Sedom and Amorah 88 Ber. Rab. 41, 7; Horios 10b. 89 Of óðšô which root. 219 Shir Hashirim 5, 2. 220 Tehillim 137, 7. 221 Chavakuk 3, 13. 222 Yirmiyahu 51, 58. 223 Zephanyah
can also be interpreted as one who precedes. 90 Ber. Rab. 41, 7. 91 Why mention here that the Sedomites were 2, 14. According to Rashi þѼ and −Ìþ−Ìþμ are unrelated. þѼ means awake, sharp. −Ìþ−Ìþμ means destruction. 224 êÖ½ÖòÐþÔtþÔëe
