Psalmów 104:3 Odniesienia do Talmudu: Taanit & Megillah

Rav Katina said, "The rain does not stop, except for when there is a nullification of Torah [study], as it says, 'with laziness shall the beams be injured" . Because of the laziness in Israel, that they didn't study Torah, the enemies of the Holy One, Blessed be He (euphemism for Israel), were injured, and there is such term as injury except for poverty, as it says, 'if he be poorer than his worth,' and there is no such term as beams except for the Holy One, Blessed be He, as it says, 'he who chills with water his higher dwelling.'"

Elazar began his discourse on this with the following text: “By laziness he that lays beams (mekoreh) becomes poor [yimak], and through idleness of the hands the house leaks” (Ecclesiastes 10:18). Through Israel’s laziness in not occupying themselves with Torah, the enemy of the Holy One, blessed be He, became poor. The meaning of “makh” is poor, as it says, “And if he is too makh for your evaluation” (Leviticus 27:8), and mekoreh means only the Holy One, blessed be He, as it says, “Who lays the beams [ha-mekareh] of Your upper chambers in the waters” (Psalms 104:3).
