Les Psaumes 148:1 Cabale : Sha'arei Orah

This matter is hinted at in the Psalm,²⁰⁵Psalms 148:1 “Praise HaShem-יהו"ה from the heavens etc.” When it mentions all the upper and lower creatures, it states,²⁰⁶Psalms 148: 5-6 “Praise the Name HaShem-יהו"ה, for He commanded and they were created. He established them forever and ever. He gave His decree-Chok-חק and it shall not be transgressed.” Scripture also calls them,²⁰⁷Jeremiah 33:25 “The statutes of day and night-Chukot Shamayim v’Aretz-חוקות שמים וארץ.” Moreover, the sages instituted the blessing of the sanctification of the moon to say,²⁰⁸Talmud Bavli, Sanhedrin 42a “Who with His utterance created the heavens and with the breath of His mouth all their host. He gave them a set decree-Chok-חק and time, so that they should not alter their role.” It also says, ²⁰⁹Jeremiah 31:34 “Who gives the sun as light by day, the decrees-Chukot-חקת of the moon and the stars as light by night.” That is, the limit of day and the limit of night, which is the matter of the measure of day and the measure of night. It also states,²¹⁰Jeremiah 5:22 “Will you not fear me? Declares HaShem-יהו"ה, will you not tremble before Me? For I set the sand as the border of the sea, as a permanent decree-Chok-חק that cannot be transgressed.” And it states,²¹¹Psalms 104:9 “You set a boundary that they cannot transgress, lest they return to cover the earth.”
