시편 89:3 미드라쉬: Otzar Midrashim, Mekhilta DeRabbi Yishmael, Sifra & Midrash Tehillim

Opposition 1) A time to give birth - corresponding to Give thanks to the Lord for He is good, for when a person is born, his father and mother give great thanks to the Holy One Blessed Be He, that he emerged from the sinews and bones and all the limbs, and enters and goes through the vertebrae until arriving at the spine, and from the spine to the male organ and from the male organ to his mother's womb, and he is formed there for forty days and stays there for nine months, and afterwards emerges with trembling and sweat and the distress and pangs of childbirth, and comes out in peace. Therefore it is fitting to give thanks to God as it says "Give thanks to the Lord etc." He brought him into His kindness and created him in His kindness; in His kindness He brought him out, in His kindness He sustained him, and were it not for His kindness the world would not have been built, as it says "For I said, the world is built with kindness" (Psalms 89:3).

(Exodus 15:13) "You have led forth in lovingkindness (chesed)": You have done chesed with us, for we were without (redeeming) deeds, viz. (Isaiah 63:7) "The lovingkindnesses of the L–rd will I proclaim, etc.", (Psalms 89:2) "The lovingkindnesses of the L–rd will I ever sing, etc." And the world in its very beginning was built only with chesed, viz. (Ibid. 3) "I said that the world (with) chesed will be built."

11) "and sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness": (In order for both to be liable to kareth) they must both transgress wilfully (and not unwittingly). "it is chesed" (connoting "shameful") And lest you say: But Cain married his sister! It is, therefore, written "it is chesed (sometimes connoting lovingkindness) and the world, in its beginning, was created only with lovingkindness, viz. (Tehillim 89:3) "For I have said: The world will be built by chesed."
