Rashi, on Gen 31:40

Rashi · 1040–1105
Gen 31:40 · Douay-Rheims
“Day and night was I parched with heat, and with frost, and sleep departed from my eyes.”
On this verse:
“אכלני חרב THE DROUGHT CONSUMED ME — the same metaphor as (Deuteronomy 4:24) אש אכלה “a consuming fire”. וקרח THE FROST — as (Psalms 147:17) “He casteth forth his ice (קרחו)”. In the Targum it is rendered by גלידא “hoar-frost”. שנתי means MY SLEEP.”
