Аллюзия к Берешит 3:22

וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ׀ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֗ים הֵ֤ן הָֽאָדָם֙ הָיָה֙ כְּאַחַ֣ד מִמֶּ֔נּוּ לָדַ֖עַת ט֣וֹב וָרָ֑ע וְעַתָּ֣ה ׀ פֶּן־יִשְׁלַ֣ח יָד֗וֹ וְלָקַח֙ גַּ֚ם מֵעֵ֣ץ הַֽחַיִּ֔ים וְאָכַ֖ל וָחַ֥י לְעֹלָֽם׃

Сказал Господь Бог: “Вот, человек стал как один из Нас, познав добро и зло. А теперь как бы он не протянул руку и не сорвал еще и [плод] дерева жизни, чтобы съесть [его] и жить вечно!”

Shem MiShmuel

Now that the man has become like one of us, etc., what if he should stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever? So the Lord God banished him from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he was taken. And He drove the man out, etc.: And one should be precise — as once it wrote, "and He banished [veyishalach]," then it went back and wrote, "and He drove out [veyigaresh]," which is the same thing! And in Tanna deBei Eliyahu: And He drove the man out teaches that He divorced the man, and that the Holy One, blessed be He, gave him a divorce [gerushin] like a woman. [Yet] it is still not resolved. For a woman's divorce is not [described] with the expression, gerushin, at all [in the Torah], bur rather with the expression, shiluach! So [this is what is] apparent: That behold, his honorable holiness, my father, our master, teacher, and rabbi, may his memory be for a blessing for life in the world to come, explained the words of Tanna deBei Eliyahu, "He gave him a divorce like a woman," is that with the divorce of a woman, she is nevertheless called a divorcee even though she is still with him at home. So the expression, divorcee [gerushah], is that the connection between her and her husband is severed. So this is what Tanna deBei Eliyahu is saying, that earlier the man had cleaving and connection with God, may He be blessed. But now, he was divorced like a woman, and the connection was severed. And with this, he explained the words of the midrash [Bereishit Rabbah], Chapter 56, which compares the tests of our father, Abraham, peace be upon him, to divorce. And that is that since our father, Abraham, peace be upon him, was clinging to God, may He be blessed, it is not fitting to call it a test. For none of the things in this world could hold any place compared to his clinging. Therefore his connection and clinging were taken away from him with each test. And this is [the meaning of], and he saw the place from afar (Genesis 22:4). That is that he saw God, may He be blessed — who is called Place [Makom] — far from him. And that is what is called divorce. And the words from the mouth of a sage are grace [chen, also an acronym for hidden wisdom].
