נְהַ֣ר דִּי־נ֗וּר נָגֵ֤ד וְנָפֵק֙ מִן־קֳדָמ֔וֹהִי אֶ֤לֶף אלפים [אַלְפִין֙] יְשַׁמְּשׁוּנֵּ֔הּ וְרִבּ֥וֹ רבון [רִבְבָ֖ן] קָֽדָמ֣וֹהִי יְקוּמ֑וּן דִּינָ֥א יְתִ֖ב וְסִפְרִ֥ין פְּתִֽיחוּ׃
불이 강처럼 흘러 그 앞에서 나오며 그에게 수종하는 자는 천천이요 그 앞에 시위한 자는 만만이며 심판을 베푸는데 책들이 펴 놓였더라
Jerusalem Talmud Sukkah
HALAKHAH: “The pious ones and people of good deeds.” Some of them were saying, blessed be my youth which did not shame my old age; these are the people of good deeds. But others were saying, blessed be my old age which atoned for my youth. Both of these were saying, blessed be who never sinned; and he who sinned may be forgiven. Hillel the Elder, if he saw them wantonly transgressing said to them, even though I am here, who is here? Does He need acclamations? Is it not written75Dan. 7:10., thousands upon thousands serve Him, and myriads of myriads stand before Him? If he saw them acting correctly he was saying, if I am not here who is here? Even though there are many acclaims before Him, the acclaim of Israel is beloved more than anything else. What is the reason? And the pleasantness of the songs of Israel762S. 23:1.; enthroned on the praises of Israel77Ps. 22:4..
Chagigah
One verse says, "Thousands of thousands serve him, and a myriad myriads get up before him (Daniel 7:10)," and one verse says, "Is there a number of his forces (Job 25:3) [and so, are the angels numbered or infinite]?" This is no contradiction. This is in the time when the Temple stood, and this is in the time when the Temple was not standing- as it were, the heavenly household decreased.
Chagigah
It was taught: Rabbi [Yehudah HaNasi] says in the name of Abba Yose the son of Dosai, "'Thousands of thousands serve him-' the number of one troop. And the troops are infinite." Rav Yirmiyah the son of Abba said, "Thousands of thousands serve him at the stream of fire, as it is said, "A stream of fire went out and came before Him; Thousands of thousands served him, and myriads of myriads in front of him get up."
