Midrash sur Les Nombres 24:6
כִּנְחָלִ֣ים נִטָּ֔יוּ כְּגַנֹּ֖ת עֲלֵ֣י נָהָ֑ר כַּאֲהָלִים֙ נָטַ֣ע יְהוָ֔ה כַּאֲרָזִ֖ים עֲלֵי־מָֽיִם׃
Elles se développent comme des vallées, comme des vergers le long d’un fleuve; Dieu les a plantées comme des aloès, comme des cèdres au bord des eaux.
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
Further said R. Chama, son of R. Chanina: (Fol. 16a) "Why have Tents been placed near Streams? As is written (Num. 24. 6.) As streams are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as tents which the Lord hath planted, etc. To teach you that just as streams render an impure man pure, so tents [where the Torah is studied] lift up man from the scale of guilt to the scale of merit."
