פירוש על עבודה זרה 37:17
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
Shizbi interprets a difficult word as a “notrikon”—“yach-roch” is divided into two words—“yichyeh” and “ya’arich.” One who acquires his learning deceitfully will not live long.
Sheshet interprets it more in line of the simple reading. A deceptive hunter will have more success in killing his prey.
Dimi goes back to interpreting it as a metaphor for learning. One who learns and then “breaks the wings” of his learning will retain his learning, like a bird whose wings are broken. But if one does not make sure that his learning stays with him, then all his learning is for naught.
