민수기 35:2의 유대 사상

If God’s grace, which is given to either an individual or a community, requires certain actions of ‎the ‎beneficiary, even if the gifts (such as wealth, honor, influence, power, etc., which are attained ‎by ‎exhausting effort) are granted to man by natural means, how much more so is it true that ‎Divine ‎gifts given supernaturally, in the form of miracles that transcend the framework of the ‎elementary ‎laws of historical causality, must subject the recipient of the miracles to God. ‎Miraculous grace ‎places upon man an absolute responsibility to fulfill the larger imperative that ‎calls out from the ‎miracle. A transcendental imperative always accompanies miraculous activity. ‎‎“Command the ‎Children of Israel” (e.g., Numbers 5:2, 28:1, 34:2, 35:2). Woe unto the beneficiary of ‎a miracle who ‎does not recognize it for what it is, and whose ear is deaf to the echo of the ‎imperative that arises ‎out of this metahistorical event. Pity the one who benefits from the miracles ‎of the Master of the ‎Universe but the spark of faith is not kindled in him, and his conscience is not ‎stirred by the sight of ‎this singular event.‎

“There were 50 cubits of open space around it.”¹Yechezkel, 43:12. I.e., there were 50 cubits of empty space around the enclosure of the Temple Mount. The gloss of Metzudos Tziyon emphasizes that this land should not be planted with crops or trees.
