ייִדישער מחשבֿה אויף במדבר 5:2

If God’s grace, which is given to either an individual or a community, requires certain actions of ‎the ‎beneficiary, even if the gifts (such as wealth, honor, influence, power, etc., which are attained ‎by ‎exhausting effort) are granted to man by natural means, how much more so is it true that ‎Divine ‎gifts given supernaturally, in the form of miracles that transcend the framework of the ‎elementary ‎laws of historical causality, must subject the recipient of the miracles to God. ‎Miraculous grace ‎places upon man an absolute responsibility to fulfill the larger imperative that ‎calls out from the ‎miracle. A transcendental imperative always accompanies miraculous activity. ‎‎“Command the ‎Children of Israel” (e.g., Numbers 5:2, 28:1, 34:2, 35:2). Woe unto the beneficiary of ‎a miracle who ‎does not recognize it for what it is, and whose ear is deaf to the echo of the ‎imperative that arises ‎out of this metahistorical event. Pity the one who benefits from the miracles ‎of the Master of the ‎Universe but the spark of faith is not kindled in him, and his conscience is not ‎stirred by the sight of ‎this singular event.‎
