Rashi Commentary
Rashi
— Genesis 37:26
מה בצע. מַה מָּמוֹן, כְּתַרְגּוּמוֹ:
וכסינו את דמו. וְנַעֲלִים אֶת מִיתָתוֹ:
מה בצע means WHAT PROFIT— just as the Targum renders it. וכסינו את דמו AND CONCEAL HIS BLOOD — this signifies and we hide the fact of his death (for they had not shed his blood, but had cast him into a pit to die).
