Midrash su Genesi 1:4

"And there went a man of the house of Levi" - Where did he go? R. Judah b. Zebina said: "He went with his daughter's advice." We are taught: Amram was the greatest man in his generation, etc. (above). "And took a daughter of Levi" - It did not say "and took back," but rather, "and took." R. Judah b. Zebina said: "This means that he acted toward her as if it was their first marriage; he placed her upon the litter, and Miriam and Aaron danced before them, and the ministering angels said (Ps. 113:9): 'The joyful mother of children.'" "A daughter of Levi" - How can this be? She was one hundred thirty years old and he calls her "a daughter"?! As R. Hama b. Hanina said: "She was Jochebed; she was conceived on the way [to Egypt] and born between the walls, as it says (Num. 26:59): 'Who was born to Levi in Egypt' - born in Egypt but not conceived. Thus he calls her "a daughter." R. Judah b. Zebina said: "Because the signs of virginity were reborn in her."

(Ex. 2, 2) And the woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw him that he was a goodly child. We are taught that R. Maier says: "His name was Tob [good]." R. Juda said: "Tubial was his name." R. Nachemia says: "Hagon (worthy to prophecy) was his name." Acherim says: "He was born circumsized." The sages, however, say [that his goodness was recognized] when Moses was born the house was filled with light; for it is written here And when she saw that he was tob (a goodly child) and it is also written (Gen. 1, 4) And God saw the light that it was Tob (good). (Ex. 2, 2) She hid him three months. [Why three months]? Because the Egyptians counted nine months from the time she was remarried, but Moses was born within less than seven months. (Ib., ib. 3) And when she could no longer hide him. Why was she not able to hide him any longer? Because whenever the Egyptians would hear that a woman was about to give birth, they would fetch another infant there and make it cry in order that the newly born child should hear it and cry with it, as it is written (Song of songs 2:15) Seize for us the foxes, the little foxes that injure the vineyards.

R’ Abahu and R’ Chiya Raba. R’ Abahu said - from the beginning of the creation of the world the Holy One saw the actions of the righteous and the actions of the wicked. This is what is written “For the Lord knows the way of the righteous…” (Psalms 1:6) “Now the earth was astonishingly empty…” (Genesis 1:2) these are the actions of the wicked, “And God said, Let there be light…” (Genesis 1:3) these are the actions of the righteous. But I don’t know which one of them He desired, the actions of these or the actions of those. Since it is written “And God saw the light that it was good…” (Genesis 1:4). He desires the actions of the righteous and not the actions of the wicked. R’ Chiya Raba said – from the beginning of the creation of the world the Holy One saw the Holy Temple built, destroyed and built. “In the beginning of God's creation…” (Genesis 1:1) refers to it built, this is what it says “…to plant the heavens and to found the earth…” (Isaiah 51:16) “Now the earth was astonishingly empty…” refers to it destroyed, this is what it says “I saw the earth, and behold, it was void and unformed…” (Jeremiah 4:23) , “And God said, Let there be light…” refers to it built and complete in the future to come, this is what it says “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has shone upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and a gross darkness the kingdoms, and the Lord shall shine upon you, and His glory shall appear over you.” (Isaiah 60:1-2)
