ויהי אחרי המגפה. אמר השם אל משה ואל אלעזר על יד משה וכן ויצו משה וזקני ישראל אז ישיר משה ובני ישראל: AND IT CAME TO PASS AFTER THE PLAGUE.1This line concludes chapter 25, verse 19, and continues into chapter 26, verse 1. God spoke to Moses. He also spoke to Eleazar via Moses.2I.E.’s interpretation of: That the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest… And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people3Its meaning is: Moses commanded the elders, who then commanded Israel. (Deut. 27:1) and Then sang Moses and the children of Israel4Its meaning is: Moses taught the song to the Israelites. See I.E. on Ex. 15:1 (Vol. 2, p. 291). (Ex. 15:1) are similar.
וטעם אחרי המגפה. בעבור שאמר השם לאלה תחלק הארץ: Scripture states after the plague because God said, Unto these5Those who survived the plague. the land shall be divided (v. 53).
