When the Creator wanted to create the world, He marked the world before Him, and it did not stand until He created repentance. Once he created repentance, He created the world and established it in its place, on one pillar, who is a righteous, the foundation of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>470. When He created repentance, a light glittered from it and the light shone from the end of the world to its end, and in it, the world was created. The Creator saw the light, looked at the wicked who were to come into this world, and concealed it for the righteous in the next world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>471. Since He is destined to conceal it, why did He create it? However, when the Creator created that light, He created it only in order to create the world with it. When He looked and saw that wicked are destined to come, He concealed it for the righteous in the next world, and still today, although the Creator concealed it, the world exists in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>472. Since He concealed it and it is gone, how does the world still exist in it today? The world exists in one light that comes out from that hidden light, like a thread that emerges from a great light. The world exists in it, and it is the pillar of the world, as it is written, \u201cand a righteous is the foundation of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>473. From it, He planted and the seed of David came out, as it is written, \u201cPosterity will serve Him; they will declare the Lord to a new generation.\u201d This is as it is written, \u201cand his throne as the sun before me.\u201d All of David\u2019s descendants emerged from that righteous. It is written about this, \u201cAll that the Lord has done is for His sake.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>474. \u201cNaomi had a relative.\u201d This is where this scroll should have begun, since the scroll comes to tell the lineage of the kingship of the house of David, and it begins here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>468. \u201cNow Naomi had a relative on her husband\u2019s
