"Good and upright is the Lord; therefore, He instructs sinners in the way. Another explanation: Why is He good? Because He is upright. Why is He upright? Because He instructs the repentant in the way. Rabbi Avin said: On every word and every letter, he [Moses] stood and made a crown, and on every crown, he engraved the divine image [of God], and his hand was bent [from the effort], showing the place where the cities of refuge were to be located. Therefore, instruct sinners in the way. Similarly, Pharaoh struck him with hail and said to him (Exodus 9:19), 'Send away your livestock.' All the ways of the Lord are loving-kindness and truth. One may study any Talmud [teaching]."
