Talmud do Psalmów 85:78

He forgives sin¹¹Ex. 34:7, Michal 7:18.; “He forgets²¹Identifying the Hebrew root נשׂא “to carry” with the Aramaci נשׂי “to forget.”” is written. And so David said, You forgot Your people, You covered up all their misdeeds, Selah²²Ps. 85:3.”.

Rebbi Zeïra said, but only if the person does not revert⁶⁷⁸Here begins the discussion of the quote at the end of the Mishnah. What is the reason? It does not say “The triple thread will never snap” but rather “The triple thread will not quickly snap.” If you work on it, it will split. Rebbi Ḥuna said in the name of Rebbi Abbahu: There is no forgetting before the Holy One, praise to Him, but for Israel He becomes forgetful. What is the reason? It is written⁶⁶⁴Ex. 34:7, Micah 7:18.

Seven attributes serve before the Throne of Glory: Wisdom, Righteousness, Justice, Kindness, Mercy, Truth, and Peace, as it says (Hosea 2:21–22), “I will bind you to Me forever. I will bind you to Me with righteousness, with justice, with kindness, and with mercy. I will bind you to Me with faith, and you will know the Eternal.” [Rabbi Meir would say: What do we learn from the phrase, “and you will know the Eternal”?] This teaches that any person who possesses these attributes has knowledge of God.
