Midrash sobre II Crônicas 5:13
וַיְהִ֣י כְ֠אֶחָד למחצצרים [לַמְחַצְּרִ֨ים] וְלַמְשֹֽׁרֲרִ֜ים לְהַשְׁמִ֣יעַ קוֹל־אֶחָ֗ד לְהַלֵּ֣ל וּלְהֹדוֹת֮ לַיהוָה֒ וּכְהָרִ֣ים ק֠וֹל בַּחֲצֹצְר֨וֹת וּבִמְצִלְתַּ֜יִם וּבִכְלֵ֣י הַשִּׁ֗יר וּבְהַלֵּ֤ל לַיהוָה֙ כִּ֣י ט֔וֹב כִּ֥י לְעוֹלָ֖ם חַסְדּ֑וֹ וְהַבַּ֛יִת מָלֵ֥א עָנָ֖ן בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃
quando os trombeteiros e os cantores estavam acordes em fazerem ouvir uma só voz, louvando ao SENHOR e dando-lhe graças, e quando levantavam a voz com trombetas, e címbalos, e outros instrumentos de música, e louvavam ao SENHOR, dizendo: Porque ele é bom, porque a sua benignidade dura para sempre; então se encheu duma nuvem a casa, a saber, a casa do SENHOR,
Shir HaShirim Rabbah
Rabbi Huna and Rabbi Aḥa bat Ḥanina interpreted the verse according to the opinion of Rabbi Meir regarding the Tent of Meeting. “My dove, in the clefts of the rock,” as they were hidden in the shelter of the Tent of Meeting. “Show me your appearance,” as it is stated: The congregation assembled at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting” (Leviticus 8:4). “Let me hear your voice,” “the people saw and they sang songs of praise” (Leviticus 9:24), they recited a fine song. Because they saw something new, they sang a new song. “For your voice is pleasant,” this is the song. “And your appearance is lovely,” just as it says: “The entire congregation approached and stood before the Lord” (Leviticus 9:5).
Rabbi Tanḥuma said: They interpreted it according to the opinion of Rabbi Meir regarding the Tent of Meeting; I, too, will interpret it according to the opinion of the Rabbis regarding the Temple. “My dove, in the clefts of the rock,” as they were hidden in the shelter of the Temple. “Show me your appearance,” just as it says: “Then Solomon assembled [the elders of Israel… and all the men of Israel assembled themselves to Solomon]” (I Kings 8:1–2). “Let me hear your voice,” just as it says: “It was when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to sound one voice” (II Chronicles 5:13). Rabbi Avin said in the name of Rabbi Abba Kohen ben Delaya: It is written: “The entire people responded together” (Exodus 19:8), and it is written: “The entire people responded in one voice and said” (Exodus 24:3). Until when did that voice stand to their credit? Until, “it was when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to sound one voice.”130Because Israel had united in accepting the Torah, they merited to unite to sing praise to God at the building of the Temple (Maharzu). “For your voice is pleasant,” this is the song. “And your appearance is lovely,” these are the offerings, just as it says: “Solomon brought the peace offering that he offered to the Lord, cattle” (I Kings 8:63). What cattle? It was “four of the wagons and eight of the cattle” (Numbers 7:8).131These cattle had been used to transport the Tabernacle through the wilderness. Once the Temple was built and the Tabernacle was no longer in use, Solomon offered the cattle as offerings (Maharzu).
