Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba said: My creations do not require My creations. In all your days, have you heard that they say: Please water this vine with wine so that it will produce much wine? Water this olive tree with oil so that it will produce much oil? My creations do not require My creations, and I require My creations?
“And its libation is one-quarter of a hin for the one lamb; in the holy place, pour a libation of intoxicating drink to the Lord” (Numbers 28:7). Rabbi Yannai said: The way of the world is that one who passes through a river, it is impossible for him not to drink two or three log of water. But I, all the seas and all the water fill My palm. It is written: “Who measured the water in His palm” (Isaiah 40:12).
And I wrote regarding your log: “Pour a libation of intoxicating drink” – an expression of drinking, an expression of satiation, an expression of intoxication.24Clearly, no amount of wine could satiate or intoxicate Me.
