מי יורש קנייני אלוה ל״דWho is the Heir of Divine Things 34

א׳
1[165] Then he mentions cold and heat, summer and spring, the seasons of the year, as being separated by the same divider, equality (Gen. 8:22). Again the three days before the sun’s creation are equal in number to the three which followed it (Gen. 1:5 ff.), the whole six being divided by equality to express time and eternity. For God dedicated the three before the sun to eternity, and the three after it to time, which is a copy of eternity.
ב׳
2[166] And the primary Potencies of the Existent, namely that through which He wrought the world, the beneficent, which is called God, and that by which He rules and commands what He made, that is the punitive, which bears the name of Lord, are as Moses tells us, separated by God Himself standing above and in the midst of them. “I will speak to thee,” it says, “above the mercy-seat in the midst of the two Cherubim” (Ex. 25:21). He means to shew that the primal and highest Potencies of the Existent, the beneficent and the punitive, are equal, having Him to divide them.
