Hanna betete alsdann und sprach: Es jubelt mein Herz in dem Herrn; erhöht ist mein Ansehen durch den Herrn. Ich darf mutig sprechen gegen meine Feinde, denn ich freue mich deiner Hilfe.
Megillah
“Hannah”, as it is written, “And Hannah prayed and said, My heart exults in the Lord, my horn is exalted in the Lord” (I Samuel 2:1): “My horn is exalted”, and not, “my cruse is exalted.” David and Solomon, who were anointed from a horn, their kingship would be prolonged, but Saul and Yehu, who were anointed with a cruse, their kingship would not be prolonged.
Megillah
“Neither is there any rock [tzur] like our God.” There is no artist [tzayyar] like our God. A person draws a figure on a wall, but is unable to endow it with breath and spirit, inward parts and intestines. But the Holy One, blessed be He, fashions a form within a form and endows it with breath and spirit, inward parts and intestines.
