Pensée juive sur Ézéchiel 20:6

בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא נָשָׂ֤אתִי יָדִי֙ לָהֶ֔ם לְהֽוֹצִיאָ֖ם מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם אֶל־אֶ֜רֶץ אֲשֶׁר־תַּ֣רְתִּי לָהֶ֗ם זָבַ֤ת חָלָב֙ וּדְבַ֔שׁ צְבִ֥י הִ֖יא לְכָל־הָאֲרָצֽוֹת׃

ce jour-là, je leur ai juré de leur faire quitter le pays d’Égypte pour une contrée que j’avais explorée à leur intention, où ruissellent le lait et le miel, et qui est un joyau entre tous les pays.

Note also the saying of our Sages: “When the Universe was created, all things were created with size, intellect, and beauty fully developed, i.e., everything was created perfect in magnitude and form, and endowed with the most suitable properties: the word ẓibyonam (their beauty) used here has the same meaning as ẓebi, ‘glory’” (Ezek. 20:6). Note this likewise, for it includes a principle fully established.
