시편 78:69의 인용 해설

Elihu raises deep water from great depths (Genesis 7:11); from the concepts (Forms or Ideas) implanted in the soul from its Original Source. In his opinion, it is they that are the foundations of comprehension and, like Plato, it is in them that he finds the origin of truths.¹²According to Malbim, Elihu, like Plato, finds sure knowledge in his soul. However, the theological truths that Elihu finds there are very different from the philosophical truths, the Ideas or Forms, postulated by Plato. It is upon them that he lays his foundation (Job 38:6), setting his mind as the mind of God (Ezekiel 28:2). And with the Divine force thus in his soul, – his Beloved is for him as a bunch of myrrh – (Song of Songs 1:13) to stand in for Him,¹³This is a play on the Hebrew name Elihu - אליהוא - whose literal meaning is 'He is my God'. to answer and to debate, and to establish the sanctuary of His wisdom, as it is on High. (Psalms 78:69).
