Chasidut su Osea 6:78

Sha'ar HaEmunah VeYesod HaChasidut

Based on all that we have seen, “We now know how to run after the knowledge of God, for His presence is prepared as the morning.”476Hoshea, 6:3. Here the Malbim notes that since the absolute knowledge of God is impossible, for at the pinnacle of knowledge one knows that he really doesn’t know (God being infinite), what remains is to find a way to increase one’s knowledge, for then, the more a person knows, the more he will be inspired to pursue further knowledge of God. And for this declaration, God answers us, saying, “for Israel, I shall be as the dew. She shall bloom as the rose, and cast her roots as the great trees of Lebanon.”477Hoshea, 14:6. All of this is “the beginning of wisdom, which is the fear of God,”478Tehillim, 111:10. leading all who fulfill the Torah to good understanding and to sing God’s praises, which stand forever.
