הֲלֽוֹא־מְשַׂנְאֶ֖יךָ יְהוָ֥ה ׀ אֶשְׂנָ֑א וּ֝בִתְקוֹמְמֶ֗יךָ אֶתְקוֹטָֽט׃
Czyliż nienawidzących Cię, Boże, nie nienawidzę, i przeciwnikami Twoimi się nie brzydzę.
Midrash Tanchuma Buber
(Numb. 16:1:)1This supplement comes from Codex Vaticanus, Ebr. 34. It is found neither in Buber’s primary Oxford manuscript nor in the traditional version of the Tanhuma. NOW KORAH BEN IZHAR BEN KOHATH BEN LEVI BETOOK HIMSELF (literally: TOOK)…. Let our master instruct us: Is it legitimate to save the Holy Scriptures on the Sabbath? Thus have our masters taught (in Shab. 16:1): IN THE CASE OF ALL HOLY SCRIPTURES,2I.e., Torah, Prophets, and Writings, all three. ONE SHOULD SAVE THEM FROM THE FIRE WHETHER ONE READS FROM THEM OR DOES NOT READ FROM THEM.3According to Sanh. 115a, the Prophets are what one reads from and the Writings are what one does not read from. As for the books of the minim, however, one does not save them from the fire on the Sabbath.4TShab. 13(14):5 mentions gilyonim in this context. While gilyonim properly refers to the unwritten portions of a scroll, it became a term for the Christian Gospels and seems to have this meaning here and in Shab. 116a. R. Jose the Galilean says: If I find the books of the minim, I cut out their Divine Names and burn the rest.5See yShab. 16:1 (15c); Sifre to Numb. 5:23 (16); Numb. R. 9:36; also Sanh. 110b. R. Tarfon said to him: May I bury my children, if the books of the minim should fall into my hands, I should burn them together with their Divine Names. Moreover, if someone were pursuing me, I should flee into an idolatrous temple, but I should not flee to a house of the minim. <The reason is> that idolaters do not know the Holy One when they deny him, [while these do know him when they deny him]; and it is concerning them that David said (in Ps. 139:21): DO I NOT HATE THOSE WHO HATE YOU O LORD? AND LOATHE THOSE WHO RISE UP AGAINST YOU …? What caused Korah to disappear from the world? It could only be that he withdrew into heresy (minut) and sided against Moses and Aaron. Where is it shown? From what they read on the matter (in Numb. 16:1): NOW KORAH <BEN IZHAR BEN KOHATH BEN LEVI> TOOK (heretical texts)….
Mekhilta DeRabbi Yishmael
It is not written "those who rise up against us," but "those who rise up against You," whereby we are apprised that all who rise up against Israel are rising up, as it were, against the Holy One Blessed be He. Similarly, (Psalms 74:23) "Do not forget the vice of Your foes, the roar of those who rise against You always." Why? (Ibid. 83:4) "They have been subtle in counsel against Your people, etc." (Ibid. 139:21) "Will I not hate Your haters, O L–rd, and battle with those who rise up against You?" Why? (Ibid. 22) (For) "I have hated them to the heights of hatred. I have deemed them my (own) enemies." Similarly, (Zechariah 2:12) "for whoever touches you touches the pupil of His eye."
Midrash Tanchuma
And in the greatness of Thine excellence (Exod. 15:7). You have increased Your excellency against all who rose up against You. Who were those that rose up against You? They were the ones that turned against Your children. It is taught that all who rise up against Israel are considered as rising up against the Shekhinah. Thus it says: Forget not the voice of thine adversaries (Ps. 74:23), and For, lo, Thine enemies are in an uproar; and they hate Thee have lifted up the head. They hold crafty converse against Thy people, and take counsel against Thy treasured ones (ibid. 83:3–4). It is also written: Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate Thee, and do not I strive with those that rise up against Thee? (ibid. 139:21). Why so? I hate them with the utmost hatred, I count them mine enemies (ibid.).
