(Exodus, Ibid.) "All the inhabitants of Canaan melted ('namogu')": When the inhabitants of Canaan heard that the Holy One Blessed be He had said to Moses (Devarim 20:16-17) "But from the cities of these people … you shall utterly destroy them," they said: These and those (Edom and Moav) feared only for their money and their property, but they are coming against us to destroy us and to inherit our land — whereupon "namogu", "namogu" signifying melting, as in (Ezekiel 21:12) "and every heart will melt", and (Psalms 75:4) "The earth and all its inhabitants will melt" ("namogim"), and (Ezekiel 21:12) "In order to melt ("lamug") the heart."
