士師記 4:9 猶太思想：Derush Chiddushei HaLevanah

As such, the moon deserved to be called “great” and to be thus equated with the sun only because it stood “together with the sun in one mystical bond,” like the tail of a lion with the lion itself. Therefore, this teaching does not use the wording “two kings.” For how can a lion and its tail be called “two kings”? True, the tail of a lion is also called a lion. That is because it is part of the lion. However, it is not the lion itself. For this reason, the author of this teaching maintains that the moon’s complaint was expressed in its protest that it is not befitting for the King of Glory to use two crowns at the same time. Instead, He should wear one at one time and the other at a different time. The moon’s intent was that its honor would be increased by becoming a “head of foxes” rather than remaining a “tail of lions.” The Holy One, blessed be He, answered the moon by instructing it to go to the lower plane, where it would become a “head of foxes.” God cautioned the moon however, saying that “you will not achieve glory”²Cf. Shoftim 4:9. in this manner, for you will be called “small,” because smallness is inherent to you.
