ומצא להם. כדברי המתרגם ארמית ומה נכבד דרש קדמונינו במלת ישחט על הבהמה ויאסף על הדג: WILL THEY SUFFICE THEM. U-matza la-hem (will they suffice them) is to be interpreted as in the Aramaic translation.99Onkelos renders u-matza la-hem as, will they suffice them. The literal meaning of u-matza la-hem is: and he will find them. Hence I.E.’s comment. How precious is the interpretation of our ancients to the effect that the word yishachet (be slain) applies to cattle, and ya’asef (be gathered) refers to fish.100Scripture speaks of slaughtering sheep and gathering fish. According to the rabbis this verse teaches us that cattle require ritual slaughter (shechitah) but fish do not. See Hullin 27b.
