Pirke Awot 5:1 Midrasz: Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer, Midrash Tanchuma Buber, Bereshit Rabbah & Sifrei Devarim

בַּעֲשָׂרָה מַאֲמָרוֹת נִבְרָא הָעוֹלָם. וּמַה תַּלְמוּד לוֹמַר, וַהֲלֹא בְמַאֲמָר אֶחָד יָכוֹל לְהִבָּרְאוֹת, אֶלָּא לְהִפָּרַע מִן הָרְשָׁעִים שֶׁמְּאַבְּדִין אֶת הָעוֹלָם שֶׁנִּבְרָא בַעֲשָׂרָה מַאֲמָרוֹת, וְלִתֵּן שָׂכָר טוֹב לַצַּדִּיקִים שֶׁמְּקַיְּמִין אֶת הָעוֹלָם שֶׁנִּבְרָא בַעֲשָׂרָה מַאֲמָרוֹת:

W dziesięciu wypowiedziach (ma'amaroth) świat został stworzony, [dziewięć „I powiedział”, a „Na początku” jest również oświadczeniem, a mianowicie. (Psalm 33: 6): „Słowem Bożym powstały niebiosa”]. Czego nas w ten sposób uczą? Czy nie można go było stworzyć jednym oświadczeniem? Ale [zostało to powiedziane], aby wymierzyć karę złym, którzy niszczą świat, który został stworzony przez dziesięć wyroków [Albowiem jeśli ktoś niszczy jedną duszę żydowską, to tak, jakby niszczył cały świat, a złych, którzy w swoich grzechach zniszczyć ich dusze, uważa się, że zniszczyli cały świat. (Tak znalazłem.) I wydaje mi się, że oni niszczą sam świat, gdyż skłaniają cały świat do kary, tak że jest on niszczony przez nich. „Z dziesięcioma oświadczeniami”: nie ma porównania między zniszczeniem dzieła stworzonego w ciągu jednego dnia a (zniszczeniem) dzieła stworzonego w ciągu wielu dni], a dobrą nagrodą cadyków, którzy podtrzymują świat, który został stworzony przez dziesięć oświadczeń .

Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer

There (in the north) is the abode of the destroying spirits, earthquakes, winds, demons, lightnings and thunders; thence evil issues forth into the world, as it is said, "Out of the north evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the earth" (Jer. 1:14). Some say by ten Sayings was the world created || and in three (Divine attributes) are these (ten Sayings) comprised, as it is said, "The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens, by his knowledge the depths were broken up" (Prov. 3:19, 20). By these three (attributes) was the Tabernacle made, as it is said, "And I have filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, and with knowledge" (Ex. 31:3). Likewise with these three (attributes) was the Temple made, as it is said, "He was the son of a widow woman of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and knowledge" (1 Kings 7:14). By these three attributes it will be rebuilt in the future, as it is said, "Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established; and by knowledge are the chambers filled" (Prov. 24:3, 4).

Midrash Tanchuma Buber

Resh Laqish said: A word, as it were, came from the mouth of the Holy One (according to Ps. 33:6): BY THE WORD OF THE LORD WERE THE HEAVENS MADE. It is also written (in Gen. 1:1-27) < that > by it he CREATED. < This account was > simply for exacting retribution from the wicked who destroy the world, which was created with toil and wearisome labor, and to give a good recompense to the righteous who preserve the world, which was created by the word of the LORD. Ergo (in Gen. 1:1): IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED < THE HEAVENS >….29Cf. Avot 5:1.

Bereshit Rabbah

“The Lord God said: It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make a helper for him alongside him” (Genesis 2:18).
“The Lord God said: It is not good that [the man] should be” – we learned: The world was created with ten [divine] utterances.1Avot 5:1. These are: “In the beginning [God created the heavens and the earth]” (Genesis 1:1);2Although the words “God said” are not written here, it was through God’s command that the heavens and earth were created (see Psalms 33:6). “the wind3The Midrash interprets the word ruaḥ to mean wind, unlike the more common translation, “spirit.” of God hovered [over the surface of the water]” (Genesis 1:2);4Here too, although the words “God said” are not written, it was through God’s command that the wind came about. “God said: Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3); “God said: Let there be a firmament” (Genesis 1:6); “God said: “Let the water be gathered” (Genesis 1:9). “God said: Let the earth sprout [grass]” (Genesis 1:11). “God said: Let there be lights” (Genesis 1:14). “God said: Let the water swarm” (Genesis 1:20). “God said: “Let the earth produce” (Genesis 1:24). “God said: Let us make man” (Genesis 1:26). Menaḥem bar Yosei removes: “The wind of God hovered,” and inserts: “The Lord God said: It is not good that the man should be.” Rabbi Yaakov ben Kurshai said: A special utterance was devoted specifically to the wind.5Rabbi Yaakov concurs with the original count of the ten utterances.
