שִׁ֭מְעוּ כִּֽי־נְגִידִ֣ים אֲדַבֵּ֑ר וּמִפְתַּ֥ח שְׂ֝פָתַ֗י מֵישָׁרִֽים׃
Dengarlah, sebab aku akan mengatakan hal-hal yang mulia, dan apa yang keluar dari bibirku adalah hal-hal yang lurus.
Shabbat
Rabbi Yohanan said: what does it mean, what is written, (Psalms 68:12) "The Lord gives a command, the women who bring the news are a great host." It is that every single word that came from the mouth of the Almighty was divided into seventy languages. The school of Rabbi Yishmael taught: (Jeremiah 23:29) "and like a hammer that shatters rock." Just as this hammer divides something into multiple pieces, so does every utterance that came from Holy One, Blessed Be He, is divided into seventy languages. Rabbi Hananel bar Pappa said: (Proverbs 8:6) "Listen, for I speak noble things." Why are words of Torah compared to a king? To say that just as a king can kill and sustain life life, so words of Torah can kill and sustain life.
