Midrash su Deuteronomio 7:9
וְיָ֣דַעְתָּ֔ כִּֽי־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ ה֣וּא הָֽאֱלֹהִ֑ים הָאֵל֙ הַֽנֶּאֱמָ֔ן שֹׁמֵ֧ר הַבְּרִ֣ית וְהַחֶ֗סֶד לְאֹהֲבָ֛יו וּלְשֹׁמְרֵ֥י מצותו [מִצְוֺתָ֖יו] לְאֶ֥לֶף דּֽוֹר׃
Sappi dunque che l'Eterno, il tuo DIO, è Dio; il fedele Dio, che mantiene l'alleanza e la misericordia con coloro che Lo amano e osservano i Suoi comandamenti per mille generazioni;
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
(Ib. b) This will support R. Hamnuna who said in the name of Ulla: "A man is forbidden to salute his friend with Shalom (peace) while in the bath-house, for it is said (Jud. 6, 24.) And he called it 'God is Peace.'" According to your conclusion the word Hemnutha (faith) should also not be pronounced in a privy, because it is written (Deu. 7, 9.) The faithful God. And if thou wilt say that this is really the law, behold! Raba b. Mechasia in the name of R. Chama b. Guria who quoted Rab said: "Hemnutha (faith) is permitted to be pronounced in a privy." In the latter case it is different because the word (faith) is not used substantively but qualifiedly, for we explain it, The faithful God, whereas in the former case it is used substantively, as it is written He called it God is Peace.
