Midrash sur Jérémie 2:26
כְּבֹ֤שֶׁת גַּנָּב֙ כִּ֣י יִמָּצֵ֔א כֵּ֥ן הֹבִ֖ישׁוּ בֵּ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל הֵ֤מָּה מַלְכֵיהֶם֙ שָֽׂרֵיהֶ֔ם וְכֹהֲנֵיהֶ֖ם וּנְבִיאֵיהֶֽם׃
Comme est confus le voleur quand il est surpris, ainsi seront confus les gens d’Israël, eux, leurs rois, leurs princes, leur prêtres et leurs prophètes.
Midrash Tanchuma
Now the Lord said unto Abram: “Get thee out of thy country.” Scripture says elsewhere in reference to this verse; Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people and thy father’s house; so shall the king desire thy beauty; for he is thy lord; and do homage unto him (Ps. 45:11). Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear alludes to Abraham. Forget also thine own people, and thy father’s house refers to the idolaters, concerning whom it is said: Who say to a stock: “Thou art my father” (Jer. 2:27). And so shall the king desire thy beauty refers to the King of Kings, who desired to glorify your (Abraham’s) name in this world and in the world-to-come. For he is thy lord; and do homage unto him.
