续 拉巴·巴尔·拉夫舍伊拉:那是说像一个男人与他的伴侣——就是他的妻子——相连相依,就是说基路伯看上去彼此相拥。雷什·拉基什 说:外邦人毁第二圣殿、进了圣所,看见这些彼此相缠的基路伯像,就把它们从墙上剥下来,拿到市上,说:这些犹太人,他们的祝福就是祝福、咒诅就是咒诅,那样敬畏神,竟忙于这样的事、造这种像么?他们当即羞辱毁坏了它们,正如经上说「素来尊敬她的,见她赤露就藐视她」(耶利米哀歌 1:8)。

意思是:像一个男人与他的伴侣——就是他的妻子——相连相依。
It means like a man joined and clinging to his livaya, his partner, i.e., his wife.
原文 livaya(伴侣)与上一面 loyot 同根,本段解经系于此双关,中文接不住。

换句话说,那两个基路伯看上去是彼此相拥的。
In other words, the cherubs appeared to be embracing one another.

雷什·拉基什 说:外邦人毁了第二圣殿、进入圣所的时候,看见这些彼此相缠的基路伯的图像。
Reish Lakish said: When gentiles destroyed the Second Temple and entered the Sanctuary, they saw these drawings of cherubs clinging to one another.
-
他们把它们从墙上剥下来,拿到市上,说:这些犹太人,因他们极其敬畏神,他们的祝福就是祝福、他们的咒诅就是咒诅,他们竟会忙于这样的事、造这种图像么?
They peeled them from the wall, took them out to the market, and said: These Jews, whose blessing is a blessing and whose curse is a curse, due to their great fear of God, should they be occupied with such matters, making images of this kind?
-
他们当即羞辱它们、把它们毁坏了,正如经上说:「素来尊敬她的,见她赤露就都藐视她」(耶利米哀歌 1:8)。
They immediately debased and destroyed them, as it is stated: “All who honored her debase her because they have seen her nakedness” (Lamentations 1:8).
