Isaiah 22:10 Douay-Rheims

And have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and broken down houses to fortify the wall.

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

And the houses of Jerusalem you counted how many houses each one had, that they give of them proportionally, to take the stones and the wood to fortify the wall. to fortify (לְבַצֵּר), to strengthen, an expression similar to “fortified cities” (בְּצוּרוֹת) (Num. 13:28).

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
