Hasidut untuk Keluaran 3:18

וְשָׁמְע֖וּ לְקֹלֶ֑ךָ וּבָאתָ֡ אַתָּה֩ וְזִקְנֵ֨י יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל אֶל־מֶ֣לֶךְ מִצְרַ֗יִם וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֤ם אֵלָיו֙ יְהוָ֞ה אֱלֹהֵ֤י הָֽעִבְרִיִּים֙ נִקְרָ֣ה עָלֵ֔ינוּ וְעַתָּ֗ה נֵֽלֲכָה־נָּ֞א דֶּ֣רֶךְ שְׁלֹ֤שֶׁת יָמִים֙ בַּמִּדְבָּ֔ר וְנִזְבְּחָ֖ה לַֽיהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃

Mereka akan mendengarkan perkataanmu. Lalu engkau, bersama para tua-tua Israel, harus pergi menghadap raja Mesir dan berkata kepadanya: ‘Yang Mahakekal, Allah orang Ibrani, telah menjumpai kami. Maka sekarang, izinkanlah kami pergi tiga hari perjalanan ke padang gurun untuk mempersembahkan kurban kepada Yang Mahakekal, Allah kami.’

As such, the Holy One is called "God of the Hebrews," (Exodus 3:18), like "Beyond the river" (Joshua 24:2), [the word 'ever] refers to the sides, since He retracted His light to the sides, and this is why Israel is also called Hebrews because of their faith in the Holy One, by which they transcend the wisdoms of the first kind of heresy and the non-wisdoms of the second.
