Chasidut for Numbers 6:25
יָאֵ֨ר יְהוָ֧ה ׀ פָּנָ֛יו אֵלֶ֖יךָ וִֽיחֻנֶּֽךָּ׃ (ס)
The LORD make His face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee;
Kedushat Levi
Numbers 6,25. “may the Lord shine His face upon you and grant you grace.”
When a person enjoys grace he certainly feels elevated, promoted. On the other hand, how is it possible for a mere creature, a human being to entertain feelings of pride or glory when facing his Creator?
Did not Daniel 4,32 already state that “all the inhabitants of the earth are of no account,” i.e. ודירי ארעא כלא חשיבין.
By contrast, our verse confirms that G’d Himself bestowed glory on His people Israel. He did so in order that they find grace in His eyes.
