וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֵלָ֗יו זֹ֤את הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִ֠שְׁבַּעְתִּי לְאַבְרָהָ֨ם לְיִצְחָ֤ק וּֽלְיַעֲקֹב֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר לְזַרְעֲךָ֖ אֶתְּנֶ֑נָּה הֶרְאִיתִ֣יךָ בְעֵינֶ֔יךָ וְשָׁ֖מָּה לֹ֥א תַעֲבֹֽר׃
Lalu Yang Mahakekal berfirman kepadanya, “Inilah negeri yang Aku janjikan dengan sumpah kepada Abraham, Ishak, dan Yakub, demikian: Kepada keturunanmu akan Aku berikan negeri ini. Aku telah memperlihatkannya kepadamu dengan matamu sendiri, tetapi ke sana engkau tidak akan menyeberang.”
Shem MiShmuel
But it appears that he fixed this with that which was said to him, I have shown it to you with your eyes (Deuteronomy 34:4). That is that in our teacher Moshe, peace be upon him, seeing Gehinnom and everything that is in it, he brought up everyone who would have been fit to go up with his passing through [it]. And it is like Ari, may his memory be blessed, explained about that which [the sages], may their memory be blessed, said, "he put his eyes upon him and he became a pile of bones," that this is from the powers of the eye, since it extracted all the visible sparks of holiness, so only the bones remained. Likewise did Moses certainly have this power, such that he extracted what was fit to extract with his glance. And not only this, but it is certainly like they, may their memory be blessed, expounded about that which is written, to the furthest sea (Deuteronomy 11:24) — "to the furthest sea" is that he saw all the events until the dead will be revived. So, too, when he saw Gehinnom, he saw all the events until the dead will be revived. And, if so, just like he extracted those found [there] then with this sight, so too would it always work to extract [those there], as if he was passing through at that time. For this seeing is above order and nature, just like he saw with it until the dead would be revived, given that [this sight] is above time. So, too, is it above time regarding the extraction [of those in Gehinnom].
