Rashi, on Ps 118:160
Rashi · 1040–1105
Ps 118:160 · Douay-Rheims
“The beginning of thy words is truth: all the judgments of thy justice are for ever.”
On this verse:
“The beginning of Your word is true And the end of Your word is not true? Rather, the end of Your word proves that the beginning of Your word is true. For, when the nations heard, “I am the Lord your God,” and “You shall not have [another god],” and “You shall not take, etc.,” they said, “Everything is for His benefit and for His glory.” As soon as they heard, “Honor, etc.; You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery,” they admitted [that they had erred] about the beginning of Your word, that it is true.”
