말라기 2:5의 Chasidut
בְּרִיתִ֣י ׀ הָיְתָ֣ה אִתּ֗וֹ הַֽחַיִּים֙ וְהַ֨שָּׁל֔וֹם וָאֶתְּנֵֽם־ל֥וֹ מוֹרָ֖א וַיִּֽירָאֵ֑נִי וּמִפְּנֵ֥י שְׁמִ֖י נִחַ֥ת הֽוּא׃
레위와 세운 나의 언약은 생명과 평강의 언약이라 내가 이것으로 그에게 준 것은 그로 경외하게 하려 함이라 그가 나를 경외하고 내 이름을 두려워하였으며
Mareh Yechezkel on Torah
And what appears to me is as follows: The Sages, may their memory be blessed, said in Tractate Chullin (Chullin 91b), “Israel is more beloved than the ministering angels. As they only mention the name of God after three words, but the Jewish people mention [it] after two words.” But this needs explanation – for what is the reason for these three words; and what is [the Jewish people’s greater] importance? Also, behold Israel mentions [the name] even after one word, such as, “Praise to the Lord” (“to the Lord,” is one word in Hebrew). And sometimes we [even] begin with the name, such as with thirteen traits of mercy. And were it only that we would fulfill, “and he was afraid before My name” (Malachi 2:5) – these are the people that fear and tremble to mention the name of the Heavens with their mouths (see Berakhot 12a). For when one mentions the name of God, he needs to tremble. And also difficult is that which is said (in Chullin), “Behold there is [the case of the angels saying], ‘Blessed is the glory of (two words in Hebrew) Lord, etc.’” – and it was answered, “It is the ofanim (a higher category of angels) who say it.” And that is difficult. As there are in fact holy righteous ones that climb even beyond the ofanim, as we find with our teacher, Moshe, peace be upon him.
