시편 106:32 카발라: Sha'arei Kedusha

Therefore, flee from power and authority to the opposite extreme, as I explained at length when discussing the quality of pride. For, Zohar states,⁵¹³Zohar III 168a “One who makes himself small in this world is meritorious.” Is there anyone greater than Moshe, the teacher of all Israel, who for seven days refused the authority placed upon him by the Holy One, blessed is He, and did not desire it, saying,⁵¹⁴Exodus 4:13 “Please, my Lord, send through whomever You will send!” About him the verse attests,⁵¹⁵Exodus 4:14 “The wrath of HaShem-יהו״ה burned against Moshe,” to the point that he was adversely affected by it, as our sages, of blessed memory, explained.⁵¹⁶Talmud Bavli, Zevachim 102a; Also see Rashi to Exodus 4:14 ibid. He subsequently assumed the responsibility, but in the end was punished because of the Jewish people at the waters of strife,⁵¹⁷Deuteronomy 3:26 (see Rashi); Psalms 106:32 and all of his merits did not suffice to help him.
