Les Psaumes 106:31 Midrash : Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)

וַתֵּחָ֣שֶׁב ל֭וֹ לִצְדָקָ֑ה לְדֹ֥ר וָ֝דֹ֗ר עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃

Cette action lui fut comptée comme un mérite, d’âge en âge, jusque dans l’éternité.

Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)

R. Chanina b. Papa lectured: Concerning the passage (Ps. 104, 31) May the glory of the Lord endure forever. This passage was recited by the Angel who supervised the Universe; for, when the Holy One, praised be He! had said (Gen. 1, 11) After its kind, in connection with the trees, the herbs inferred an a fortiori concerning themselves, saying: "If the Holy One, praised be He! wanted a motley growth, why did He say after its kind, with regard to the trees? Furthermore, is it not an a fortiori; if concerning trees which are not usually growing a motley growth, yet the Holy One, praised be He! said after its kind, how much more so ought we, that are usually growing a motley growth, come forth after its kind! Immediately thereupon each one went forth after its kind. The Angel that supervises the Universe [observing this] said the passage, May the glory of the Lord endure forever."
