시편 18:12의 탈무드
יָ֤שֶׁת חֹ֨שֶׁךְ ׀ סִתְר֗וֹ סְבִֽיבוֹתָ֥יו סֻכָּת֑וֹ חֶשְׁכַת־מַ֝֗יִם עָבֵ֥י שְׁחָקִֽים׃
저가 흑암으로 그 숨는 곳을 삼으사 장막 같이 자기를 두르게 하심이여 곧 물의 흑암과 공중의 빽빽한 구름으로 그리하시도다
Tractate Derekh Eretz Rabbah
The same was said by David, king of Israel; for it is stated, He made darkness His hiding-place.61Ps. 18, 12. With reference to whom did David say this verse? He only said it by way of praising the Holy One, blessed be He, Who is Yah ruling in the heights of the universe; He is One and His name is One, and He dwells in three hundred and ninety firmaments.62The Heb. for ‘heaven’, שמים, has the numerical value 390. Upon each firmament His Name and attributes are inscribed; in each are Ministering Angels, Seraphim, Ophannim,63lit. ‘wheels’, cf. Ezek. 1, 15ff. Cherubim, celestial spheres64The spheres of the zodiac. and the throne of glory. Do not wonder too much at this statement; because a king of flesh and blood has a number of residences, some for warm weather and some for cold weather; how much more so [can this be said] of the King, the Life of the universe, since everything belongs to Him!
When Israel perform the will of the All-present, [56b] He dwells in Araboth the seventh [heaven]65The seventh heaven is the abode of righteousness, justice and peace; cf. Ḥag. 12a (Sonc. ed., pp. 71f.). and He does not disinterest Himself in anything [in the world]; as it is stated, From between the two cherubim; and He spoke unto him.66Num. 7, 89. But when He is wroth, He ascends and dwells in the upper heavens, and though people cry aloud and weep, their voices are not heard, even though they decree a fast, wallow in ashes, clothe themselves in sackcloth and shed tears.
