Quotation sobre Eclesiastés 11:2
תֶּן־חֵ֥לֶק לְשִׁבְעָ֖ה וְגַ֣ם לִשְׁמוֹנָ֑ה כִּ֚י לֹ֣א תֵדַ֔ע מַה־יִּהְיֶ֥ה רָעָ֖ה עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
Reparte á siete, y aun á ocho: porque no sabes el mal que vendrá sobre la tierra.
Footnotes to Kohelet by Bruce Heitler
The cycle of seven refers to the weekly, ordinary course of things. The cycle of eight refers to the miraculous which has a direct connection with God. Circumcision is performed on the eighth day, the Torah was received on the 50th day following Pesach which is the day following seven weeks of seven days, the miracle of Hanukah lasted eight days.
