Midrash su Esodo 7:5
וְיָדְע֤וּ מִצְרַ֙יִם֙ כִּֽי־אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֔ה בִּנְטֹתִ֥י אֶת־יָדִ֖י עַל־מִצְרָ֑יִם וְהוֹצֵאתִ֥י אֶת־בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מִתּוֹכָֽם׃
E gli Egizi conosceranno ch’io sono il Signore, quand’io stenderò il mio braccio sull’Egitto, e trarrò di mezzo ad essi i figli d’Israel.
Midrash Tanchuma Buber
(Exod. 25:3–7:) AND THIS IS THE PRIESTLY SHARE THAT YOU SHALL TAKE FROM THEM: <GOLD, SILVER, AND BRONZE; > BLUE, PURPLE, <AND SCARLET YARNS; FINE LINEN, GOAT HAIR, REDDENED> RAM SKINS, DOLPHIN SKINS, AND ACACIA WOOD;> OIL FOR LIGHTING, <SPICE FOR ANOINTING OIL AND FOR AROMATIC INCENSE, ONYX STONES>…. R. Judah bar Simon said: <The Holy One said to Israel:>18This necessary addition to the text comes from the parallel in Tanh., Exod. 7:5. Do not think that you are repaying me thirteen things19Presumably the thirteen types of offerings mentioned in Exod. 25:1–7; but these verses mention more than thirteen. which correspond to thirteen things which I set aside for you in Egypt. These were the following (according to Ezek. 16:10–12, 19): I CLOTHED YOU WITH EMBROIDERY, SHOD YOU WITH DOLPHIN SKIN, WRAPPED YOU IN FINE LINEN, COVERED YOU WITH SILK, ADORNED YOU WITH JEWELS, PUT BRACELETS ON YOUR ARMS, AND A CHAIN AROUND YOUR NECK; I PUT A RING ON YOUR NOSE, EARRINGS ON YOUR EARS, AND A SPLENDID CROWN UPON YOUR HEAD…. AND MY BREAD WHICH I GAVE YOU, < BREAD > OF FINE FLOUR, OIL, AND HONEY, <THIS BREAD> I GAVE YOU TO EAT. Ergo, the thirteen things which you have set aside for me correspond to (but do not repay) the thirteen things which I set aside for you in Egypt. In the age to come I am repaying you these corresponding thirteen things, those which are mentioned (in Is. 4:5–6): FOR THE LORD WILL CREATE OVER THE [WHOLE] SITE OF MOUNT ZION <AND OVER ITS ASSEMBLY A CLOUD AND SMOKE BY DAY AND THE BRIGHTNESS OF A FLAMING FIRE BY NIGHT >…. AND THERE SHALL BE A SUKKAH AS A SHADE FROM THE HEAT BY DAY….
