Rashi, on Judg 5:22

Rashi · 1040–1105
Judg 5:22 · Douay-Rheims
“The hoofs of the horses were broken whilst the stoutest of the enemies fled amain, and fell headlong down.”
On this verse:
“Horses' legs were battered. Their horses' hooves were severed. The heat of the star brought the mud to a boil, severing the hooves, as when legs are scalded in boiling water to detach the hooves. Once the hooves were severed, the legs were battered. By the prancing, the prancing of their mighty. They pranced their horses in battle, as in "a prancing horse. The word connotes the dancing of a horse.”
