Talmud for Proverbs 3:19
יְֽהוָ֗ה בְּחָכְמָ֥ה יָֽסַד־אָ֑רֶץ כּוֹנֵ֥ן שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם בִּתְבוּנָֽה׃
The LORD by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens.
Jerusalem Talmud Sanhedrin
“And to proclaim the greatness of the King over kings of kings, the Holy One, praise to Him,” etc. 106There is no predestination, genetic or otherwise. To proclaim the greatness of the King over kings of kings Who from one die coins all seals and no one is like the other, as it is said: The seal turns around like clay107Job 38:15; cf. Kilaim 9:4 Note 78.. Why did He change their looks108Greek πρόσωπος.? That no man should jump and go to another’s wife or another’s field. It was stated in the name of Rebbi Meïr: Three things did the Holy One, praise to Him, diversify in humans: looks of the face, understanding, and voice. Looks and understanding because of the robbers, voice because of forbidden women. Rebbi Isaac said, even a fig tree or a wheat plant is not identical to any other. Man was created Sabbath Eve so from the start he should enter with a commandment109To celebrate the Sabbath.. Another explanation: Why was he created last? A parable of a king who made a banquet. After he had ordered the meal, he invited the guests. 110Prov. 9:1,2,4.So wisdom built her house, that is the Holy One, praise to Him, Who created the world in wisdom, as it is said, the Eternal in wisdom based the earth111Prov. 3:19., etc. She quarried its seven pillars, these are the seven days of creation. She slaughtered her slaughtering, mixed her wine, these are seas and rivers and all the needs of the world. Any silly one shall come here, that is Adam and Eve.
