Rishon LeTzion on Nakh is a commentary on the books of Prophets and Writings by 18th-century Rabbi Chaim ibn Attar, known as the Ohr HaChaim after his Torah commentary. Comments on specific passages often begin with a series of questions on the biblical text — like why a seemingly superfluous word is used or how a detail in a narrative can seemingly contradict a halakhic principle — followed by a theory or explanation that answers all of the posited questions. Rishon LeTzion on Nakh is printed as a section of a larger work by ben Attar entitled Rishon LeTzion, which includes commentaries on seven tractates of the Talmud and addendums to the author’s previously published Shulchan Arukh commentary.
