Bava Basra 088: Eileh

Meyer Lieber asked:

The Gemara cites a posuk in Yecheskel 17 to prove that "Ayl" means strong. Why 
not cite the posuk in Uz Yosheer (15:15) which we say every day "Aluphei Edom 
Ay-Lay Moab"

Meyer Lieber, Wesley Hills, NY
------------------
The Kollel replies:

Dear Meyer,

Nice question. But apparently it's a better proof from Yechezkel. From the 
context we see that Nevuchadnetzar wanted to prevent rebellion by exiling the 
strong, "Eilei," of the land. But by Az Yashir the word Eilei could mean the 
people of Mo'av like the end of the Pasuk - Yoshvei Kena'an.

All the best,
Reuven Weiner
