신명기 33:26의 Musar
אֵ֥ין כָּאֵ֖ל יְשֻׁר֑וּן רֹכֵ֤ב שָׁמַ֙יִם֙ בְעֶזְרֶ֔ךָ וּבְגַאֲוָת֖וֹ שְׁחָקִֽים׃
여수룬이여 하나님 같은 자 없도다 그가 너를 도우시려고 하늘을 타시고 궁창에서 위엄을 나타내시는도다
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
אין כאל ישרון רוכב שמים בעזרך ובגאותו שחקים. אשריך ישראל מי כמוך . We find a daring statement in the Midrash of Rabbi Nechunya ben Hakaneh to the effect that if someone studies Torah לשמה he is גומל חסד, performs an act of kindness for the Almighty. He quotes the above verse רוכב שמים בעזרך ובגאותו שחקים as his source, explaining that the Torah says that as a result of such study G–d helps us and enables us to ride the heavens; this in turn leads to G–d's majesty expressing pride in the skies. Thus far the Midrash.
