أَمِثْلُ هذَا يَكُونُ صَوْمٌ أَخْتَارُهُ؟ يَوْمًا يُذَلِّلُ الإِنْسَانُ فِيهِ نَفْسَهُ، يُحْنِي كَالأَسَلَةِ رَأْسَهُ، وَيْفْرُشُ تَحْتَهُ مِسْحًا وَرَمَادًا. هَلْ تُسَمِّي هذَا صَوْمًا وَيَوْمًا مَقْبُولاً لِلرَّبِّ؟

Whilst the people on the fast-day are carrying on their worldly, selfish, everyday business, the fasting is perverted from a means of divine worship and absorption in the spiritual character of the day to the most thoroughly selfish purposes: it is supposed to be of some worth and to merit some reward. This work-holy delusion, behind which self-righteousness and unrighteousness were concealed, is met thus by Jehovah through His prophet: "Can such things as these pass for a fast that I have pleasure in, as a day for a man to afflict his soul? To bow down his head like a bulrush, and spread sackcloth and ashes under him - dost thou call this a fast and an acceptable day for Jehovah? Is not this a fast that I have pleasure in: To loose coils of wickedness, to untie the bands of the yoke, and for sending away the oppressed as free, and that ye break every kind of yoke? Is it not this, to break thy bread to the hungry, and to take the poor and houseless to thy home; when thou seest a naked man that thou clothest him, and dost not deny thyself before thine own flesh?" The true worship, which consists in works of merciful love to one's brethren, and its great promises are here placed in contrast with the false worship just described. הכזה points backwards: is such a fast as this a fast after Jehovah's mind, a day on which it can be said in truth that a man afflicts his soul (Lev 16:29)? The ה of הלכף is resumed in הלזה; the second ל is the object to תּקרא expressed as a dative. The first ל answers to our preposition "to" with the infinitive, which stands here at the beginning like a casus absol. (to hang down; for which the inf. abs. הכפוף might also be used), and as in most other cases passes over into the finite (et quod saccum et cinerem substernit, viz., sibi: Ges. 132, An…
افتح المصدر ↗58:5 This is a satirical portrayal of the people’s fasting as mere external piety without repentance and righteous acts. Ritualistic and insincere fasting is nothing but pomp. • Wearing burlap and ashes are expressions of sorrow and mourning. • please the Lord? The people erroneously believed that the Lord would bless them, if only they performed the right rituals.

«قُلْ لِجَمِيعِ شَعْبِ الأَرْضِ وَلِلْكَهَنَةِ قَائِلاً: لَمَّا صُمْتُمْ وَنُحْتُمْ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْخَامِسِ وَالشَّهْرِ السَّابعِ، وَذلِكَ هذِهِ السَّبْعِينَ سَنَةً، فَهَلْ صُمْتُمْ صَوْمًا لِي أَنَا؟
هكَذَا قَالَ الرَّبُّ: «فِي وَقْتِ الْقُبُولِ اسْتَجَبْتُكَ، وَفِي يَوْمِ الْخَلاَصِ أَعَنْتُكَ. فَأَحْفَظُكَ وَأَجْعَلُكَ عَهْدًا لِلشَّعْبِ، لإِقَامَةِ الأَرْضِ، لِتَمْلِيكِ أَمْلاَكِ الْبَرَارِيِّ،
لأُنَادِيَ بِسَنَةٍ مَقْبُولَةٍ لِلرَّبِّ، وَبِيَوْمِ انْتِقَامٍ لإِلَهِنَا. لأُعَزِّيَ كُلَّ النَّائِحِينَ.
«اذْهَبِ اجْمَعْ جَمِيعَ الْيَهُودِ الْمَوْجُودِينَ فِي شُوشَنَ وَصُومُوا مِنْ جِهَتِي وَلاَ تَأْكُلُوا وَلاَ تَشْرَبُوا ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ لَيْلاً وَنَهَارًا. وَأَنَا أَيْضًا وَجَوَارِيَّ نَصُومُ كَذلِكَ. وَهكَذَا أَدْخُلُ إِلَى الْمَلِكِ خِلاَفَ السُّنَّةِ. فَإِذَا هَلَكْتُ، هَلَكْتُ».
وَلاَ تُشَاكِلُوا هذَا الدَّهْرَ، بَلْ تَغَيَّرُوا عَنْ شَكْلِكُمْ بِتَجْدِيدِ أَذْهَانِكُمْ، لِتَخْتَبِرُوا مَا هِيَ إِرَادَةُ اللهِ: الصَّالِحَةُ الْمَرْضِيَّةُ الْكَامِلَةُ.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَكَ صَلاَتِي يَا رَبُّفِي وَقْتِ رِضًى. يَا اَللهُ، بِكَثْرَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ اسْتَجِبْ لِي، بِحَقِّ خَلاَصِكَ.
«وَيَكُونُ لَكُمْ فَرِيضَةً دَهْرِيَّةً، أَنَّكُمْ فِي الشَّهْرِ السَّابعِ فِي عَاشِرِ الشَّهْرِ تُذَلِّلُونَ نُفُوسَكُمْ، وَكُلَّ عَمَل لاَ تَعْمَلُونَ: الْوَطَنِيُّ وَالْغَرِيبُ النَّازِلُ فِي وَسَطِكُمْ.
فَخَافَ يَهُوشَافَاطُ وَجَعَلَ وَجْهَهُ لِيَطْلُبَ الرَّبَّ، وَنَادَى بِصَوْمٍ فِي كُلِّ يَهُوذَا.
وَأَكْرِزَ بِسَنَةِ الرَّبِّ الْمَقْبُولَةِ».
وَفِي كُلِّ كُورَةٍ حَيْثُمَا وَصَلَ إِلَيْهَا أَمْرُ الْمَلِكِ وَسُنَّتُهُ، كَانَتْ مَنَاحَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ عِنْدَ الْيَهُودِ، وَصَوْمٌ وَبُكَاءٌ وَنَحِيبٌ. وَانْفَرَشَ مِسْحٌ وَرَمَادٌ لِكَثِيرِينَ.
