Rashi on Judges
Toasted. The written text is צׇלוּל, "clear".5Occasionally, the written Scriptural text, כְתַב, differs from the the spoken text, קֽרִי. Rashi notes that this is the case here, where the written text is צׇלוּל, while the spoken text is צְלִיל, “toasted”. The generation was cleared of righteous men.
Rashi on Judges
