Chasidut zu Dewarim 10:14

הֵ֚ן לַיהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וּשְׁמֵ֣י הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם הָאָ֖רֶץ וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בָּֽהּ׃

Siehe, dem HERRN, deinem Gott, gehört der Himmel und der Himmel, die Erde, mit allem, was darin ist.

Kedushat Levi

Deuteronomy 10,14. “Mark, the heavens to its furthest ‎reaches are G’ds, etc.;” the vowel “o” (cholem) on top ‎of the letter, symbolizes the essence of Hashem in both the ‎names Hashem and elokim, whereas the semi vowel ‎‎sh’va, under the letter symbolizes the tzimtzum, ‎restrictions that G’d has imposed upon Himself in His relations ‎with the inhabitants of our part of the universe. The vowel ‎‎kametz on the other hand, symbolizes G’d’s largesse after He ‎has imposed restrictions upon Himself. This is the allegorical ‎meaning of the word ‎חשק‎ in the verse 15, a word normally ‎translated as “being fond of,” in the sense of being desirous of. ‎According to the author, Moses used this word there as an ‎acronym, a sequence of the first letters of the vowels ‎חולם, שוא, ‏קמץ‎. The message Moses wished to convey to the Jewish people ‎was that G’d imposed restrictions upon Himself in order to be able ‎to dispense His largesse to them.
[I assume, that seeing that the word ‎חשק‎ is used in the ‎sense of carnal desire, as in Genesis 34,8 where Chamor, father of ‎Sh’chem explains the infatuation of his son for Yaakov’s daughter ‎Dinah, our author preferred not to understand it in this sense. ‎Ed.]
Moses implies that the patriarchs of the Jewish people had ‎been the only recipients of this outpouring of G’d’s largesse.‎ ‎ ‎
