시편 98:3의 미드라쉬

[Another interpretation (of Gen. 30:22): THEN GOD REMEMBERED RACHEL.] This text is related (to Ps. 98:3): HE HAS REMEMBERED HIS LOVING-KINDNESS AND FAITHFULNESS < TOWARD THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL >. < These words > speak about Joshua (Yehoshua'), who stemmed from Rachel's children. (Ibid., cont.:) ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH HAVE SEEN THE VICTORY (yeshu'ah) OF OUR GOD. That victory is the one that Joshua accomplished, the one about which it is stated (in Josh. 10:12): O SUN, STAND STILL AT GIBEON.

Another interpretation (of Ps. 98:3): HE HAS REMEMBERED HIS LOVING-KINDNESS. The remembrance is of our mother Rachel. (Ibid., cont.:) TOWARD THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, as stated (in Ruth 4:11) < RACHEL AND LEAH >, BOTH OF WHOM BUILT UP THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. Ergo (in Gen. 30:22): THEN GOD REMEMBERED RACHEL.
