Pemikiran Yahudi Mazmur 33:12: Akeidat Yitzchak

"it shall be the first of the months" etc. "Happy the nation whose" etc.

Shemot Rabbah 15 quotes Psalm 33,12, "Hail the nation whose G-d is the Lord." Since G-d chose the universe, He established new moons and years. When G-d chose Jacob and his sons, He established the new moon of redemption on which Israel would be redeemed in the future. This is based on what we read in Michah 7,15, "As in the days when you sallied forth out of Egypt, so I will show wondrous deeds then." During that month, Isaac was born, during that month he was bound on the altar, during that month Jacob received the blessings, and during that month G-d hinted to Israel that it would be the beginning of the redemption, since it is written, "It is the first for you of the months of the year" (Exodus 12). This can be compared to a king who took his son out of prison and said, "Make this day a festive day every year from now on, since my son came out of darkness into light, and out of slavery into freedom."
