사무엘상 2:3 미드라쉬: Shemot Rabbah, Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition) & Sifra

“His sister positioned herself at a distance to know what would happen to him” (Exodus 2:4).
“His sister positioned herself at a distance.” Why did Miriam stand at a distance? Rabbi Amram said in the name of Rav: It is because Miriam had been prophesying and saying: ‘My mother is destined to bear a son who will redeem Israel.’ When Moses was born the house was filled with light. Her father stood and kissed her on her head. He said to her: ‘My daughter, your prophecy has been fulfilled.’ That is what is written: “Miriam the prophetess, sister of Aaron, took the drum” (Exodus 15:20). [Was she] the sister of Aaron but not the sister of Moses? Rather, she said this prophecy when she was the sister of Aaron, and Moses had not yet been born. When they cast him into the Nile, her mother stood and struck her on her head. She said to her: ‘Where is your prophecy?’ That is what is written: “His sister positioned herself at a distance [to know]” – to know what would be the fate of her prophecy.
The Rabbis say: The entire verse is stated as an allusion to the Divine Spirit: “Positioned herself [vatetatzav],” alluding to: “The Lord came and stood [vayityatzev]” (I Samuel 3:10); “his sister,” alluding to: “Say to wisdom: You are my sister” (Proverbs 7:4); “at a distance,” alluding to: “From a distance the Lord appeared to me” (Jeremiah 31:2); “to know [lede’a] what would happen to him,” alluding to: “As the Lord is a God of knowledge [de’ot]” (I Samuel 2:3).

Alternatively, “he saw their burdens,” – he saw that they had no respite. He went and said to Pharaoh: ‘One who has a slave, if he does not rest one day a week, he will die. These are your slaves. If you do not allow them to rest one day a week they will die.’ He said to him: ‘Go and do with them whatever you say.’ Moses went and instituted the day of Shabbat for rest.
“He saw an Egyptian man.” What did he see? Rav Huna said in the name of bar Kapara: Because of four matters, Israel was redeemed from Egypt: One, because they did not change their names.⁶²The continuation of this list is found in Vayikra Rabba 32:5: They did not change their names or language, they did not speak slander, and none of them informed the Egyptians that they were not intending to return the vessels they borrowed before leaving Egypt.
From where is it derived that they were not suspected of licentiousness? The fact is that there was one woman⁶³Only one woman engaged in licentiousness. and the verse publicized her, as it is stated: “[The son of an Israelite woman and he was the son of an Egyptian man]…and the name of his mother was Shelomit bat Divri….” (Leviticus 24: 10–11).
Our Sages, of blessed memory, say: The taskmasters were Egyptian and the foremen were Israelite; one taskmaster was appointed over ten foremen, and one foreman was appointed over ten Israelites. The taskmasters would go to the homes of the foremen early in the morning to get them out to work with the crowing of the rooster. Once, an Egyptian taskmaster went to an Israelite foreman and directed his glance to his wife, who was beautiful and flawless. He arrived there at the time of the crowing of the rooster and got him out of the house. The Egyptian returned and consorted with his wife, as she thought it was her husband, and she was impregnated. Her husband returned and saw the Egyptian emerging from his home. He asked her: ‘Did he touch you?’ She said: ‘Yes, and I thought he was you.’
Once the taskmaster realized that [the Israelite] had sensed what he had done, he returned him to hard labor, and was beating him, seeking to kill him. Moses was looking at him and watching him, and he saw by means of the Divine Spirit what he had done at his home and saw what he was going to do to him in the field. He said: ‘This one is certainly liable for execution, as it is written: “One who strikes a person shall be put to death” (Leviticus 24:21). Moreover, he consorted with Datan’s wife and for that he is liable for execution, as it is stated: “The adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death”’ (Leviticus 20:10). That is what is written: “He turned this way and that [and saw that there was no man; he smote the Egyptian and concealed him in the sand]” (Exodus 2:12) – he saw what he had done to him in the house and what he had done to him in the field.

(Fol. 11) "And so also do we find concerning good deeds — Miriam," etc. How do you compare both things? Miriam was waiting only a short time while Israel waited seven days. Said Abaye [read the Mishnah] and concerning good deeds it is not so [because it is paid more than deserving.] "But the Mishnah reads and so also concerning good deeds," Raba objected. "We must therefore read," said he: "So also concerning good deeds [that with the same measure one measures to others, who will receive it in reward]; however, there is a rule that the measure of good reward is far superior to the measure of evil dispensation." (Ex. 2, 4) And his sister placed herself afar off, to ascertain what would he done to him. The entire passage refers to the Shechina, and she placed herself, as it is written (I Sam. 3, 10) And the Lord came and placed Himself, and called as at previous times: His sister, as mentioned (Pr. 7, 4) Say unto wisdom thou art my sister: From afar is the Lord appeared to me; to ascertain herself, as it is written (I Sam. 2, 3) for a God [De'oth] knowledge is the Lord: Mah, as it is written (Deut. 10, 12) What [Mah] doth the Lord thy God require of thee; would be done. Ya'asse, as it is said (I Sam. 25, 28) Will certainly make (Ya'asse) for my Lord an enduring house to him. — Loh, as it is written (Jud. 6, 23) And he called it loh Adonei Shalom.
