God Studies The Torah

But Rav Yehudah said that Rav said: The day is twelve hours. During the first three, the Holy One, blessed be He, sits and engages in Torah. During the second three, He sits and judges the entire world; when He sees that the world is liable to destruction, He rises from the throne of justice and sits upon the throne of mercy. During the fourth three hours, what does He do? He sits and teaches Torah to the schoolchildren, as it is said: "Whom shall He teach knowledge? And whom shall He make to understand the message? Them that are weaned from the milk, drawn from the breasts" (Isaiah 28:9). For whom shall He teach knowledge, and to whom shall He make understand the message? To those weaned from the milk and those drawn from the breasts. And originally, before the giving of the Torah, who would teach them? If you wish, say: Metatron; and if you wish, say: He did both this and that.
