"Ordonne aux enfants d’Israël de renvoyer du camp tout individu lépreux, ou atteint de flux, ou souillé par un cadavre.
Kol Dodi Dofek
If God’s grace, which is given to either an individual or a community, requires certain actions of the beneficiary, even if the gifts (such as wealth, honor, influence, power, etc., which are attained by exhausting effort) are granted to man by natural means, how much more so is it true that Divine gifts given supernaturally, in the form of miracles that transcend the framework of the elementary laws of historical causality, must subject the recipient of the miracles to God. Miraculous grace places upon man an absolute responsibility to fulfill the larger imperative that calls out from the miracle. A transcendental imperative always accompanies miraculous activity. “Command the Children of Israel” (e.g., Numbers 5:2, 28:1, 34:2, 35:2). Woe unto the beneficiary of a miracle who does not recognize it for what it is, and whose ear is deaf to the echo of the imperative that arises out of this metahistorical event. Pity the one who benefits from the miracles of the Master of the Universe but the spark of faith is not kindled in him, and his conscience is not stirred by the sight of this singular event.
