Kaisipang Hudyo sa Genesis 45:12: Gevurot Hashem

וְהִנֵּ֤ה עֵֽינֵיכֶם֙ רֹא֔וֹת וְעֵינֵ֖י אָחִ֣י בִנְיָמִ֑ין כִּי־פִ֖י הַֽמְדַבֵּ֥ר אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃

At narito, nakikita ng inyong mga mata, at ng mga mata ng aking kapatid na si Benjamin, na ang sarili kong bibig ang nagsasalita sa inyo.

Gevurot Hashem

Another reason for the redemption of Israel, they said in Shir Hashirim Rabbah (4:12) about the verse a locked garden (Song of Songs 4:12): “Rabbi Huna said in the name of bar Kappara: By virtue of four matters, Israel was redeemed from Egypt: That they did not change their name, they did not change their language, they did not speak slander, and not one of them was steeped in licentiousness. They did not change their name: Reuben and Simeon descended [to Egypt]*; Reuben and Simeon ascended*. They did not call Reuben Rufus, they did not call Simeon Luleyani, [...] They did not change their language. There, it is written: The survivor came and told Abram the Hebrew (Genesis 14:13), and here it is written: The God of the Hebrews [has called upon us] (Exodus 5:3), and it is written: That it is my mouth speaking to you (Genesis 45:12), in the sacred tongue.* They did not speak slander, as it is stated: Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask each man from his neighbor (Exodus 11:2). You find that this matter had been entrusted to them for twelve months, and not one of them was found to have informed on his counterpart. Not one of them was steeped in licentiousness, as it is stated: The son of an Israelite woman went out, and he is [the son of] an Egyptian man (Leviticus 24:10–11), to apprise in praise of Israel that not one of them was found except for this one.”(Shir HaShirim Rabbah 4:12:1)1Translation of the midrash adapted from The Sefaria Midrash Rabbah, 2022.
