Talmud su Salmi 146:5

⁴⁴A slightly different version of this paragraph is in Berakhot 9:1 (Notes 56–58). Rebbi Zeˋira the son of Rebbi Abbahu preached before Rebbi Eleazar. Happy is he whom the God of Jacob helps⁴⁵Ps. 146:5–6.. What is written after this? The Maker of Heaven and Earth. What has one to do with the other? But a king of flesh and blood needs a protector^45*Latin patronus “protector, defender”.; in one district⁴⁶Greek ἐπαρχία. he is not a ruler, maybe in another one? If you say a universal ruler⁴⁷Greek κοσμοκράτωρ, the Roman Emperor. A king in the Roman principate was a local ruler subject to orders from Rome. rules over dry land, does he [rule] over the Sea? But the Holy One, praise to Him, is not like this; He rules over the Sea, He rules over dry land. Not only this, but if a sword is at a person’s neck the Holy One, praise to Him, saves him. That is what Moses said, He saved me from Pharao’ s sword⁴⁸Ex. 18:4.. It is written only sword⁴⁹Since it does not say “from Pharao” but “from Pharao’s sword” Moses was condemned to death but escaped miraculously (Berakhot 9:1 Notes 42–47, Deut. rabba 2(20), Midrash Cant. 7(5), Midrash Ps. 4[3].). Even if a sword is at his neck the Holy One, praise to Him, saves him from it.

Rebbi Zeīra, son of Rebbi Abbahu, Rebbi Abbahu in the name of Rebbi Eleazar (Ps. 146:5): “Happy is he whom the God of Jacob helps.” What is written after that (Ps. 146:6): “He makes Heaven and Earth.” What has one to do with the other? But a king of flesh and blood needs a protector⁵⁶“King” was a title forbidden in Rome; a ‘king’ is a small local potentate who needs a Roman (or, possibly, a Persian) emperor as a protector., he rules over one district⁵⁷Greek ἐπαρχία. but not over another district. A universal ruler⁵⁸Greek κοσμοκράτωρ. In the parallel, Avodah zarah 1:1, the word is written קוזמוקרטור. There, the universal ruler is Alexander the Great. rules over dry land; does he rule over the ocean? But the Holy One, praise to Him, rules over ocean and dry land. He saves in the ocean from the water and on the dry land from the fire. He saved Moses from Pharao’s sword. He saved Jonah from inside the fish, Ḥananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, from the fiery oven, Daniel from the lions’ den. That is what is written (Ps. 146:6) “He makes Heaven and Earth, the oceans and all that is in them.”
