Isaiah 58:4
Douay-Rheims
Behold you fast for debates and strife. and strike with the fist wickedly. Do not fast as you have done until this day, to make your cry to be heard on high.
Ibn Ezra
אגרף Some hard thing to strike with. In this sense it is used in Rabbinical literature. Comp. בעלי אגרפין men with force (Pesachim 53); compare besides באגרף (Ex. 21:18). Others render it a piece of hard earth, and connect it with מגרפותיהם their clods (Joel 1:17). כיום הזה=כיום As ye do this day.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
