Commentaire de citation sur Les Psaumes 104:1

I will now proceed to explicate this psalm as well as expound upon the narrative of creation. And the enlightened will understand.
[Ps. 104:1] “O Lord my God, You are very great”: The psalm alludes to the illumination of Wisdom, extending in every direction. From that flow, each Cause and attribute nurses like an infant.

And the scent of your robes: The robe is not an entity distinct from Her. Rather, it is the overflow of Wisdom’s brightness which surrounds her. Our Sages state in Genesis Rabbah [21:5] concerning the verse “I looked and saw a man dressed in linen” [Daniel 10:5]: “He was comparable to a snail whose shell is inseparable from his body.” Since Wisdom’s brightness, encompassing thirty-two paths, surrounds the Glory, as in “Your faithful ones surround You” [Ps. 89:8], it is called “the garment of God,” as it says: “You are garbed in splendor and majesty” [Ps. 104:1].

גדלים תעשה לך , you shall make for yourselves twisted threads;” here the tzitzit are referred to as gedilim. Our sages in Yevamot 4 cite a tradition that the appearance of this commandment in a positive connotation immediately after the prohibition of mixing wool and linen is to teach us that for the purpose of tzitzit this prohibition has been waived. The Talmud concludes that the appearance of certain legislation immediately after another legislation has halachic implications and is a legitimate exegetical tool (דרשינן סמוכים). The reasoning goes as follows: “if the Torah had not wanted to permit a mixture of wool and linen threads as the integral parts of the tzitzit, why would the prohibition of kilayim have to be repeated here? We already discussed the mystical aspect of the commandment of making and wearing tzitzit in Numbers 15,38.
The expression גדלים chosen by the Torah here to describe these tassels, fringes, is an allusion to Psalms 104,1: ה' אלו-הי גדלת מאד הוד והדר לבשת, “O Lord, my G’d, You are very great; You are clothed in glory and majesty.” When someone wears tziztiyot, i.e. 32 twisted threads, this is an allusion to the 32 paths of wisdom (discussed in the latter part of Numbers 15,38)
