시편 113:9의 인용 해설

And drink: Drink deep of love!: This is the community of Israel. This verse relates to the generation of King Solomon, when Israel enjoyed a peaceful respite from wars.
All of its people were saintly,
Cleansed of iniquity and sin,
Rejoicing in God’s service,
Forgiven through their sacrifices,
Amongst them dwelled shekhinah,
“A mother joyous amid her children” [Ps. 113:9].
Within this text you will find the term bride used six times.¹³⁵From Cant. 4:8 to 5:1. This corresponds to the six appearances of the name Solomon which are regarded as designating the divine within this book, alluding to the six sefirotic dimensions.
As her name so is her praise,
She is the bride
Encompassing all
Of Wisdom’s paths.
Stamped with the seal
Of the whole.

O my dove, in the cranny of the rocks: Until now the shekhinah has dwelt with Israel in exile, as our sages said: “‘He sets the childless woman among her household as a happy mother of children’ [Ps. 113:9]. The community of Israel said before the Holy One, blessed be He: ‘My children have made me to dwell, like a weasel, in ruined houses.’”⁷⁸b. Pesahim 118b.

[JOCHEBED, THE DAUGHTER OF LEVI], WHO WAS BORN TO LEVI IN EGYPT. The meaning of this according to the simple sense of Scripture is [to point out] that because all the [other] sons of Jacob went down to Egypt with their sons and daughters, and none of them bore children there afterwards, except for Levi who begot this joyful mother of children;¹⁵⁰Psalms 113:9. Jochebed here is described by Ramban as a joyful mother because she gave birth to three such distinguished children, Aaron, Moses and Miriam. — The reference is based upon Sotah 12a, where it is said that at the time of marriage of Amram and Jochebed the angels of G-d chanted a joyful mother of children. for G-d delayed her birth [since He wanted to redeem Israel through her children], and the time of the redemption had not yet come, as I have already explained.¹⁵¹Genesis 46:15 (Vol. I, p. 559).
