Commentary
‘It is a seizer of the skin’ means it is severe in seizing the skins of the heads. What then is the thought regarding other skins? And it is said in the dictionary: ‘The skin’ refers to the hands, the feet, the limbs, and the crown of the head, and what is not a killing - this is the end. And it is said: and the skin is all of it, and the flesh seizes that, then it returns as it was in the state, so that they may see the toil that they were denying within themselves at every moment.
