וידבר על לבם. פרש"י שנשא ק"ו מעצמו עשרה נרות לא יכלו לכבות נר אחד. פי' עשן עשרה נרות שדרכו של עשן לכבות את הנר: וידבר אל לבם, “he addressed their hearts trying to put them at ease.” According to Rashi, he used logic to convince them of his sincerity, by saying that if ten lamps had not been able to extinguish one lamp, how could he a single (lamp) individual, hope to extinguish ten lamps? He referred to the smoke emanating from the fire in each lamp.
