Four Witnesses to God's Power in Psalm 60 and Numbers 7

Midrash Tanchuma Buber, Nasso 30:1

(Numbers 7:48:) ON THE SEVENTH DAY, THE PRINCE OF THE CHILDREN OF EPHRAIM. This is what Scripture says (in Psalms 60:9): GILEAD IS MINE AND MANASSEH IS MINE, AND EPHRAIM IS THE STRONGHOLD OF MY HEAD; JUDAH IS MY LAWGIVER. Resh Lakish said: If the disputers should say to you that the Holy One, blessed be He, does not revive the dead, say to them: Behold, Elijah [bears witness] that He revived the dead [through his hand]. Thus: GILEAD IS MINE. AND MANASSEH IS MINE. If the disputers should say to you that the Holy One, blessed be He, does not receive those who repent, say to them: Behold, Manasseh bears witness that I received him in repentance, as it is stated (in II Chronicles 33:13): AND HE PRAYED TO HIM, AND HE WAS ENTREATED BY HIM [AND HEARD HIS SUPPLICATION] AND RESTORED HIM TO JERUSALEM, TO HIS KINGDOM. Thus: MANASSEH IS MINE. EPHRAIM IS THE STRONGHOLD OF MY HEAD. If the disputers should say to you that the Holy One, blessed be He, does not remember barren women, [say to them:] Behold, Elkanah [of Mount Ephraim] bears witness that I remembered Hannah his wife, as it is stated (in I Samuel 2:21): FOR THE LORD REMEMBERED HANNAH. Thus: EPHRAIM IS THE STRONGHOLD OF MY HEAD. JUDAH IS MY LAWGIVER. If a person should say to you that the Holy One, blessed be He, does not rescue from the fire, behold, Hananiah and his companions bear witness that I rescued them from the fire, as it is stated (in Daniel 1:6): AND AMONG THEM, OF THE CHILDREN OF JUDAH, WERE [DANIEL, HANANIAH, MISHAEL, AND AZARIAH]. Thus: JUDAH IS MY LAWGIVER.
