שרף באש. יש אומרים הוא בעצמו ויש אומרים בצווי וראייתם כאשר צוה ה׳ את משה ואיננה ראיה כי כן דרך לשון הקדש: WERE BURNT21Hebrew, saraf (literally, he burnt). WITH FIRE. Some say by Moses himself.22For Scripture reads, “he (Moses) burnt.” Others say by the command of Moses. They offer as proof, as the Lord commanded Moses (v. 21).23If “he” in he burnt with fire referred to Moses, the verse would have ended with “as the Lord commanded him,” rather than with as the Lord commanded Moses. However, this is no proof, for that is the style of the Hebrew language.24Scripture often employs a proper noun in places where we expect it to use a pronoun.
