Wyjścia 18:10 Midrasz: Midrash Tanchuma Buber, Mekhilta DeRabbi Yishmael, Midrash Tanchuma & Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)

[(Exod. 18:10:) NOW JETHRO <PRIEST OF MIDIAN, MOSES' FATHER-IN-LAW>, HEARD.] This text is related (to Cant. 1:3): YOUR OILS HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FRAGRANCE.⁶Tanh., Exod. 5:3. R. Jannay said: To the ancestors you gave the fragrance of commandments. To Adam you gave seven commandments. To Noah and his children you gave seven commandments. You gave them the fragrance of commandments. But when we came to Sinai, like one who pours from the mouth of a bottle, you poured out all the commandments for us, as stated (in Cant. 1:3): YOUR OILS HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FRAGRANCE.

R. Eliezer says: Scripture speaks of the good of Eretz Yisrael. They said to him: The L–rd is destined to give us six good "measures": Eretz Yisrael, the world to come, the kingdom of the House of David, the new world, the (institution of) the Kehunah and that of the Leviyah, it being written "good," "the good," "all the good," "over (adding three to the first three) all the good."

(18:10) "And Yithro said: 'Blessed is the L–rd'": R. Pappis said: Scripture speaks to the discredit of Israel, six hundred thousand men having been there and not one of them having stood up to bless the L–rd until Yithro came and did so, viz. "And Yithro said: Blessed is the L–rd, who rescued you, etc."
