הלכה אויף דניאל 7:9

If so, wherefore is it written in the Torah, "And there was under his feet" (Ex. 24,10), "Written with the finger of God" (Ex. 31,18), "The hand of the Lord" (Ex. 9,3), "The eyes of the Lord" (Deut. 11, 12), "The ears of the Lord" (Num. 11,18) and more like expressions? All such terminology is in accordance with the conception of sons of man who cannot recognize aught but corporeal things, and the words of the Torah is like human speech, but they are all attributes; for example, it is said: "If I whet My glittering sword," (Deut. 32. 41.); Hath He a sword, or doth He slay with a sword? But it is a metaphor, so is all metaphorical. As testimony thereto, one prophet says that he saw the Holy One, blessed is He! "His raiment was as white snow" (Dan. 7,9), and another saw Him "With crimsoned garments from Bozrah" (Isa. 63,1); Moses our Master himself saw Him at the Red Sea "as a hero engaged in battle," (Ex. 15.3) and upon Sinai as "a garbed minister of a congregation (Ex. 19.19.), to say: He hath neither form nor image, but all is a vision of prophecy and a mirage, the absolute truth of the matter no human mind comprehends or is able to fathom it or penetrate it. It is even this what it says in Scripture: "Canst thou find out the deep things of God? Canst thou attain unto the purposes of the Almighty?" (Job. 11,7).

“Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name” (Ps. 103:1). The insides of a man, even his intestines need to bless the Lord.¹Berakoth 25a. Therefore he must examine himself well when he sets to pray,²Ibid., 23a.
/3/ The Zohar, ed. Soncino, V, 326; also Shabbath 104a. because it is not fit to bless Him while bringing a belly filled with excrement before the Holy One, blessed be He. He needs to shake his entire body during prayer, as it is written, “All mine bones shall sing, Lord, Who is like unto Thee” (Ps. 35:10). It is written, “Guard thy foot when thou goest to the house of God” (Eccl. 4:17), that your feet be not soiled.⁴Berakoth 23a. And it is written “prepare to meet thy God O Israel” (Amos 4:12).⁵Ibid., 15a. When a man appears before a king of flesh and blood he does not come attired as he would for the street, he covers himself, and stands before him with awe, fear and dignity; we who go before the Lord of all the earth, blessed be His name, all the more do we need to cover ourselves and stand before Him with awe and fear.⁶Shabbath 10a. Woe to those who delay covering themselves but from Sabbath to Sabbath so that people not laugh at them.⁷They go uncovered during the week. They do not consider that perhaps they might die and be unable to give honor to Him who gave His own garment, concerning which it is written, “His raiment was as white snow” (Dan. 7:9). Concerning these people and those similar to them it is said, the wicked may prepare it but the righteous shall put it on. (Job 27:17)
