Midrash su Giobbe 28:11

(At) the Teḳuphah of Tishri (the sun) begins from the aperture of Nogah and goes through its revolutions towards the south quarter, through one aperture after another until it reaches the aperture of Bilgah. (At) the Teḳuphah of Ṭebeth (the sun) begins from the aperture of Bilgah and continues its course, returning backward through one aperture after another until it reaches the aperture of Ta'alumah, through which the light goes forth, as it is said, "And the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light" (Job 28:11). (At) the Teḳuphah of Nisan (the sun) begins from the aperture of Ta'alumah, and it goes to the north quarter through one aperture after another until it reaches the aperture No'aman. (At) the Teḳuphah of Ṭammuz (the sun) begins from the aperture No'aman and goes on its course, returning backwards through aperture after aperture until it reaches the aperture Cheder whence the whirlwind goes forth, as it is said, "Out of the chamber cometh the storm and cold out of the scattering winds" (Job 37:9).

"The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth (Genesis 9:18)": "When He is silent, who will condemn? If He hides His face, who will see Him, Be it nation or man? (Job 34:29)". Rabbi Meir interpreted: ""He is silent" from his world, and "He hides his face" from his world, like a judge whom a curtain stretches in front of his face and he does not know what is being done beyond it. Likewise they said about the generation of the Flood: "The clouds screen Him so He cannot see as He moves about the circuit of heaven (Job 22:14)"". They said to him: "That is enough for you, Meir". He said to them: "But why is it written: "When He is silent, who will condemn?"? He said: "Did he not give contentment to the generation of the Flood? And who came to reproach them. What contentment did he give them? "Their children are with them always [nakhon], And they see their children’s children (Job 21:8)", "They let their infants run loose like sheep, And their children skip about (Job 28:11)". Rabbi Levi and the Rabbis: Rabbi Levi said: "For three days one's wife was pregnant, as it is said elsewhere using the word nakhon "Be ready [nakhon] for the third day: do not go near a woman (Exodus 19:15)". As nakhon is said here to mean for three days, so nakhon is there for three days". And the Rabbis said: "For one day one's wife was pregnant and gave birth, as nakhon is said there and here: "Be ready [nakhon] by morning (Exodus 34:2)". As nakhon is said here to mean for one day, so nakhon is there for one day". "And they see": they were looking at their children and their children's children. "They let their infants ['avileihem] run loose like sheep": Rabbi Levi said: "In Arabia they call a child an avilah". "And their children skip [yeraqqedun] about": like demons, which is why it says: "And there shall satyrs dance [yeraqqedu] (Isaiah 13:21)". One of these women gave birth during the day, and she said to her son: "Go and bring me a flint to detach your umbilical cord". And at night she said to her son: "Go and light a lamp for me to detach your umbilical cord". There was a time when one gave birth at night and said to her son: "Go and light a lamp for me to detach your umbilical cord" and her son went and met with the demon Asmodeus. Asmodeus said to him: "Go and tell you mother that the rooster has crowed, and if the rooster had not crowed I would have harmed you". The boy said to him: "Go and tell you mother that my mother has not detached my umbilical cord, and if she had I would have struck and killed you." See! It is written: "Their homes are secure, without fear (Job 21:9)": from destroyers/demons. "They do not feel the rod of God (Job 21:9)": because of a lack of chastisement. Why did he hide his face from them? Because he brought to them the Flood. See! It is written: "All existence on earth was blotted out (Genesis 7:23)". "Be it nation or man together". "Be it nation": this is the generation of the Flood". "Or man": this is Noah. "Together": because from him the world was established, and it is possible for him to set up the world from a nation alone and from one man, as it is said: "The sons of Noah who came out of the ark".
