시편 136:2의 인용 해설

ה֭וֹדוּ לֵאלֹהֵ֣י הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים “Praise the God of gods…” (Ps. 136:2) This is for the generation of Seth who didn’t live in the generation of idolatry. The whole world knew that Hashem was the “God of gods.” This was not the case in the time of Enosh; they began to call to God by other names rather than pray to God with the name of HaShem. Therefore, it says for him, “Praise the Lord of lords,” (Ps. 136:3) because at that time they had to acknowledge that HaShem was “the Lord,” and Patron of all below. God inundated them with the sea and drowned a third of them.”³²²Bereshit Rabbah 38:10 But in his loving kindness, he let the rest (of humanity) live even though they weren’t worthy.
