הַרְאֵ֣נוּ יְהוָ֣ה חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ וְ֝יֶשְׁעֲךָ֗ תִּתֶּן־לָֽנוּ׃
Montre-nous, Seigneur, ton amour; et ton secours, accorde-le nous.
Kedushat Levi
Still another aspect of the opening line of our Parshah. When evaluating happenings on this earth we always proceed from the premise that all G’d does or allows to happen, is meant for the good, even though on occasion it takes a while to realize that what started as apparently a dreadful event, will ultimately be realized to have been the beginning of something good. [According to the formula of Rabbi Nachum ish gam zu.
When we ask G’d in psalms 85,8 הראנו ה' חסדך וישעך תתן לנו, “show us, O Lord, Your kindness grant us Your deliverance,” these words spring from our conviction that, of course, what G’d has in mind is for our own good. Our prayer is to be granted to live long enough to see this confirmed with our own eyes. The word לאמור which we had questioned at the outset, is to be understood as in Deuteronomy 26,17 and 18 האמרת and האמירך, where these words are expressions of love.
Moses prays to be granted to see with his own eyes this expression of G’d’s love.
