Chasidut sobre II Crónicas 6:43

This is exemplified by the miracle that occurred when King Shlomo brought the Holy Ark into the Temple. It is written in the Midrash Tanhuma (Vaera, 7) on the verse, “Raise, O gates, your heads, and be lift up, you everlasting doors!” (Tehillim, 24) that Shlomo said these words when he sought to bring the Ark into the Holy of Holies. He had made an ark of ten cubits in size, placed the original Ark of Moshe inside of it, and carried it to the Temple. When he arrived at the entrance, he saw that it was also ten cubits wide; however, ten cubits cannot enter into ten cubits.⁴⁰⁷For a space to contain something, it must always be slightly bigger than that which it is supposed to contain. (Eitz Yosef) Furthermore, there was not enough space to accommodate those who were carrying the Ark. They could not bring the Ark through the gate. Shlomo stood, ashamed, not knowing what to do. He began to pray to God. Our sages teach us that he brought the casket of his father David, and said (Divrei HaYamim 2, 6:42), “Hashem Elo-him! Do not turn away the face of Your anointed.” “Master of the world!” he said. “Do it in the merit of this one. Remember the kindnesses of Your servant David.” Whereupon he was immediately answered.⁴⁰⁸And was able to bring in the Ark. My father, master and teacher, the holy Rav, explained that the essence of the miracle was a revelation of the supernal light of Atika Kadisha in this lower world. If the size of the gate was miraculously widened to make enough space for the Ark, or if the Ark had become smaller, it would not have been such a great miracle. The Gemara (Ta’anit, 25a) tells of how the prayers of Rabbi Hanina ben Dosa caused the beams of a house to lengthen.⁴⁰⁹Once a woman, who lived near Rabbi Hanina, built a house, but the beams would not reach the walls. She came to him and said, “I have built a house but the beams will not reach the walls.” He asked her, “What is your name? “Aiku.” she replied. He then exclaimed, “Aiku, may your beams reach the walls!” A Tanna taught, they extended one cubit on both sides. Some say that new pieces miraculously joined themselves to the beams. Polemo said, “I saw the house, and its beams extended one cubit on both sides. People told me, ‘This is the house which Rabbi Hanina ben Dosa covered with beams through his prayer.’” However, in the Holy Temple, the measurements of the gates, the Ark, or anything else could not be changed, as it is written (Divrei HaYamim 1:28:19), “All this, said David, is written by the hand of God who instructed me, even all the works of this blueprint.” The Gemara (Berachot, 17a) understands this to mean that Temple and all of its vessels had to be built according to the exact measurements that King David received in his prophetic understanding and taught to Shlomo. The miracle here was that matter entered into matter, and two different entities occupied the identical place and time, in defiance of natural governance. If man believes in this with perfect faith, and absolute sincerity, his heart will not go astray after strange logic or the philosophical speculations of those of limited consciousness. In his faith he will find all he needs to allay all the doubts and confusions resulting from all such doubts and inquiries.
