Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Mazmur 102:27

He hath prepared His throne for judgment, – as it says (Ps. 102:27), “they shall perish, but Thou remainest.” And the significance of sitteth enthroned (יֵשֵׁב) is that of enduring and stability; and so (in the passage) “The Lord sat enthroned at the flood” (Ps. 29:10).

We have further indication of Yosef’s later spiritual growth as it relates to his attitude toward clothing in the unusual word choice regarding the clothing around him. First, when he changes his garments to appear in front of Pharaoh (Bereshit 41:14),²²²Ibid., verse 14. and then when he gives his brothers clothing before returning to Canaan to bring back their father (Bereshit 45:22),²²³Ibid., 45:22. the Torah uses terms derived from the Hebrew root chalaf, to change or substitute (vayechalef, chalifot simla’ot). We almost never see vayechalef anywhere else in the entire Bible²²⁴The two exceptions are in Bereshit 35:2 and in Tehillim 102:27. and the term chalifot is not found anywhere else in the Torah – though it is employed in the early prophets. In the context of what we have already learned about Yosef’s clothes, this is a superbly purposeful word choice: the Torah is telling us that Yosef now sees clothing as something that can be changed at will without its changing the essence of the person it covers. So much is Yosef aware of this that he is now even in a position to convey this message to his brothers. (In doing so, he again parallels Tamar, who conveys the same message to Yehudah.)
