לְמוֹלִ֣יךְ עַ֭מּוֹ בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
à Celui qui dirigea son peuple dans le désert, car sa grâce est éternelle;
Midrash BeChiddush
לְמוֹלִ֣יךְ עַ֭מּוֹ בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר “Who led His people through the wilderness,” (Ps. 136:16) This refers to the generation of Reu. Just as God shepherded (Ro’eh) the people through the wilderness for forty years, so God shepherded the generation of Reu with loving- kindness - that is why he was called Reu. Or it could be from the word Reiyah, grazing; in his generation there was a famine.
