Citazioni del Tanakh su I Cronache 29:11

And how should this contemplation take place? This is explained in the Shema. The word Shema means “understand” or “comprehend.” This understanding is contained within the word Shema itself, for Shema can be read as shem ayin — “the Name” and the letter ayin. The meaning is that the enlarged letter ayin — the ayin rabbati — represents the level of “To You, Havayah, belong greatness and might,” and so on. These are the seven supernal emotional attributes, which are described as “to You,” meaning that they are nullified to Him and included in their source. At that stage, they have not yet entered into a state of drawing-down and expansion below, where they would be called by the names “greatness,” “might,” and so forth. At that level, this is called the enlarged ayin, the ayin rabbati. But the drawing-down that extends and spreads below is only the aspect of shem, “Name,” alone. It is merely a radiance. This is the meaning of the phrase: “Blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.” It refers only to the aspect of His Name and the attribute of His kingship, blessed be He. For it is written: “Your kingship is the kingship of all worlds.”

May your name be praised forever, O our king. Great and holy god-emperor over the heavens and the earth! For songs of praise are pleasant to you, O LORD our god and god of our forefathers, and hymns of exaltation, and power and sovereignty, great and powerful victory, awesome wonder, and holy kingship, and blessings and thanks, from now until forever. Blessed are you O LORD, great god-emperor of praises, god of thanks, master of wonders, who chose hymnal songs, king and living god of all the world.

For to You it is fitting [to offer] Adonoy, our God, and God of our fathers, song and praise, glorification and hymns, [to proclaim Your] strength and dominion, victory, grandeur, and might, praise and glory, holiness and sovereignty, blessings and thanksgivings,³Fifteen words of praise and adoration are enumerated. Hebrew is remarkably rich in the vocabulary of adoration and worship. As Latin is the language of war and Greek of oratory, so is Hebrew the language of prayer.—Midrash from now and forever.
