다니엘 7:2의 미드라쉬

(Deuteronomy 17:14) "When you enter the land..." - Halacha: A king who has a business dealing, can he be judged before a Bet Din? Thus teaches our sages: A king does not judge, nor is judged. He does not testify, nor is testified about. Our rabbis learned: Why can he not be judged? Rabbi Yirmiya said: For it is written by King David, (Psalms 17:2) "Let my sentence come forth from before You..." This means no living thing may judge the king, except for the Holy One, blessed be He. Our rabbis say: The Holy One, blessed be He, said to Israel, "My children! I have thought to let you free from kingship." How do we know? For it is stated, (Jeremiah 2:24), "A wild donkey that is used to the wilderness [sniffing the wind in its desire]..." Just like a wild donkey grows up in the wilderness and doesn't fear man, so have I thought that you should not have the fear of kingship upon you. But you did not want that, but rather "sniffing the wind in its desire...", and "wind" refers only to kingship. How do we know? For it is stated, (Daniel 7:2) "...the four winds of heaven stirred up the great sea." Said the Holy One, blessed be He: And if you say that I don't know that you will end up abandoning Me, I have already warned you through Moses, and I said to him: Since they will end up requesting a human king, from their own shall they crown a king, not from the nations. How do we know this? From that which we read on the subject, (Deuteronomy 17:14) - "And you will say, 'I will appoint for myself a king.'"

Moshe immediately arose and went to Yehoshua's home. Yehoshua was frightened and said, "Moshe, my rabbi, come next to me." They left to go, and Moshe walked on Yehoshua's left. They entered the Tent of Meeting, and the pillar of cloud descended and stood in between them.
