וְשֹׁמֵ֣עַֽ לִ֭י יִשְׁכָּן־בֶּ֑טַח וְ֝שַׁאֲנַ֗ן מִפַּ֥חַד רָעָֽה׃ (פ)
Tetapi siapa yang mendengarkan aku akan tinggal dengan aman, dan akan hidup tenteram tanpa takut akan malapetaka.”
Akeidat Yitzchak
We read in Midrash Rabbah Deut. 4, that the Rabbis say "there are people who benefit by listening, whereas others lose out by listening." Adam lost out by having listened to his wife, as the Torah says "because you have listened to your wife...you will have to toil in the sweat of your brow,..the earth will be cursed on your account etc.." (Genesis 3,17) On the other hand, Abraham listened to his wife, as is recorded in Genesis 16,6. "Abraham listened to his wife Sarah." The Lord said: "if he who listened to his wife benefitted, how much more will he benefit who listenes to Me." Proverbs 1,33, tells us "he who listens to Me, will dwell securely, not concerned with fear of evil."
