Kaisipang Hudyo sa Mga Awit 140:14: Akeidat Yitzchak

אַ֣ךְ צַ֭דִּיקִים יוֹד֣וּ לִשְׁמֶ֑ךָ יֵשְׁב֥וּ יְ֝שָׁרִ֗ים אֶת־פָּנֶֽיךָ׃

Tunay na ang mga matuwid ay magpapasalamat sa iyong pangalan; ang mga tapat ay mananahan sa iyong harapan.

Akeidat Yitzchak

When G-d said to Moses (25, 9) "in accordance with all I have shown you," Moses had some difficulty in comprehending. G-d therefore said to him that the tabernacle should reflect the structural peculiarities of the universe itself. This means that the sanctuary on earth is to be a microcosm of the universe at large. Expressed differently, we are to do on earth that which corresponds to what He did when He revealed Himself to the prophets, draped in "garments" such as perceived in the visions of Ezekiel, Isaiah, Jacob and others. It is this that the Psalmist refers to when he says (Psalm 93 or 104) "G-d has begun His reign, He has robed Himself in Majesty." When the time had arrived for G-d to reveal part of His glory to His entire people, He commanded the tabernacle to be constructed as the means to reveal that part of Himself. The answer given to Moses can be understood thus. In theory, any thinking Jew can build a tabernacle, even though he may lack the proper materials to carry out the actual construction. This then is the allegorical meaning of "from any person who is of generous disposition" (25,2) Isaiah 66, 1, discussing "the house" G-d allows to be built for Him, suggests that the person deserving of the presence of the shechinah should possess three character traits. They are "ani, - necheh ru-ach, -chared el de-varee, “he should be of contrite heart, humbling himself before Me, he should be of a spirit that reveres Me and he should tremble at My word."
