E inclinéme, y adoré á SEÑOR, y bendije á SEÑOR, Dios de mi señor Abraham, que me había guiado por camino de verdad para tomar la hija del hermano de mi señor para su hijo.

Similarly, the Holy One, blessed be He, saw that the moon was not appeased by all He had said. Therefore, God fulfilled the injunction to “bring many friends” by commanding the Jewish people to bring an atonement offering on the day of the moon’s renewal. Thus, the moon was appeased by the Jewish people who are called God’s friends, as reflected by the verse,78Shir HaShirim 5:16. “This is my beloved and this is my friend.” God states that the atonement offering is to be brought “because I diminished the moon,” i.e., and it has yet to be appeased. Therefore, God said: “Bring your atonement offering on the day of the moon’s renewal so that the atonement offering will serve as an appeasement for the moon on My behalf. In this way, I will have fulfilled My obligation by appeasing the moon through you, sending many of My friends and loved ones to it.” In this manner, the concluding statement of the passage can be understood without any difficulty at all. Blessed is God Who has led me on the true path.79Cf. Bereishis 24:48.
