אָ֧ז נִדְבְּר֛וּ יִרְאֵ֥י יְהוָ֖ה אִ֣ישׁ אֶת־רֵעֵ֑הוּ וַיַּקְשֵׁ֤ב יְהוָה֙ וַיִּשְׁמָ֔ע וַ֠יִּכָּתֵב סֵ֣פֶר זִכָּר֤וֹן לְפָנָיו֙ לְיִרְאֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה וּלְחֹשְׁבֵ֖י שְׁמֽוֹ׃
Noon ay nag-usap ang mga may takot sa Walang-Hanggan, bawat isa sa kanyang kapwa; at nakinig ang Walang-Hanggan at narinig Niya, at isinulat sa harap Niya ang isang aklat ng alaala para sa mga may takot sa Walang-Hanggan at para sa mga nagbubulay-bulay sa Kanyang pangalan.
The Gate of Unity
As mentioned above, “saying” (Amirah-אמירה) is always the aspect of speech of thought. (This is higher than hearing the speech of one’s friend, as in the verse,6Kings II 19:16, Isaiah 37:17, Daniel 9:18 “Lend me your ear and listen etc.” or the verse,7Malachi 3:16 “And HaShem-יהו״ה paid attention and listened” and the like.)
