Talmud su Esodo 15:11

They came back and asked him: What is that which is written (Jos. 24:19): “For He is a holy God.” He answered them, it is not written: “they”, but “He,” “He is a jealous God.” His students told him: Teacher, these you pushed away with a stick, what can you answer us? Rebbi Isaac said, He is holy in all kinds of holiness, as Rebbi Yudan said in the name of Rebbi Aḥa: The Holy One, praise to Him, is holy in all kinds of holiness. His speech is in holiness, His throning is in holiness, the baring of His arm is in holiness, God is awesome and majestic in holiness. His way is in holiness, (Ps. 77:14) “God, Your way is in holiness.” His walking is in holiness, (Ps. 68:25) “the course of my God, my King, in holiness.” His throning is in holiness, (Ps. 47:9) “God throned on His holy throne.” His speech is in holiness, (Ps. 60:8) “God spoke [in His holiness].” The baring of His arm is in holiness, (Is. 52:10) “The Eternal bared His holy arm.” He is awesome and glorious in holiness, (Ex. 15:11) “Who is like You, glorious in holiness!”

The mafṭir recites also the parts of the Shema‘.¹⁸This is explained below. The recitation of the Shema‘ is deemed to be a great honour which compensates for the lesser dignity conferred by the reading of the hafṭarah. Of what Shema‘ has this been said?¹⁹The Shema‘ is recited several times during the service. Of the one [recited when] the scroll of the Torah [is taken from the ark].²⁰Cf. the next Rule. How does one begin?²¹The collection of Biblical verses recited when the Torah scroll is taken from the ark. Happy are they that dwell in Thy house.²²Ps. 84, 5. Then the mafṭir stands and recites, There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord; and there are no works like Thine.²³ibid. LXXXVI, 8. Who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the mighty? Who is like unto Thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?²⁴Ex. 15, 11. Thy kingdom is a kingdom for all ages, and Thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.²⁵Ps. 145, 13. The Lord is King, the Lord hath reigned, the Lord shall reign for ever and ever.²⁶Compounded from Ps. 10, 16, XCIII, 1 (E.V. reigneth) and Ex. 15, 18. The Lord was pleased, for His righteousness’ sake, to make the teaching great and glorious.²⁷Isa. 42, 21. The Lord will give strength unto His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.²⁸Ps. 29, 11. Thou art the Lord, even Thou alone; Thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things that are therein, the seas and all that is in them and Thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth Thee.²⁹Neh. 9, 6.
