יְהוָ֖ה מֵמִ֣ית וּמְחַיֶּ֑ה מוֹרִ֥יד שְׁא֖וֹל וַיָּֽעַל׃
Yang Mahakekal mematikan dan menghidupkan; Ia menurunkan ke dunia orang mati dan menaikkan kembali.
Sha'arei Orah
When our forefather Avraham, peace be upon him, came “saw, gazed, investigated, and understood”39Sefer Yetzirah 6:8 the secret of His Great Name HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, and how HaShem-יהו"ה created the world out of kindness-Chessed, he too made a stand, and took hold of the quality of kindness-Chessed-חסד with his hand. He saw that all the people of the world were passionate in their idolatrous beliefs, each one adhering to his particular false belief. Our forefather Avraham, peace be upon him, took a stand and began calling out to all the people of the world, proclaiming, “All the gods of the nations are nothingness – but HaShem-יהו״ה made the heavens!40Psalms 96:5 That is, he proclaimed, “All you nations, know that there is a Creator who created all the worlds and He alone rules over everything. ‘It is HaShem-יהו״ה who brings death and enlivens, He lowers to the grave and raises up. It is HaShem-יהו"ה who impoverishes and makes rich, He humbles and elevates.”41Samuel I 2:6-7 He proclaimed this until they rose up against him, plundered all his property, captured and imprisoned him, and threw him into the fiery furnace. After he was saved from the fiery furnace and was banished from his land, he dedicated all his wealth, wife, relatives, and everything he had, to the service of HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He.
