(Numb. 7:1:) “So it came to pass on the day that Moses had finished.” R. Judah bar Simon said, “On the day that the Tabernacle was erected, Moses entered and heard a majestic voice, a beautiful voice, a praiseworthy voice.<sup class="footnote-marker">100</sup><i class="footnote">See Numb. R. 12:1; <i>PR</i> 5:11.</i> Moses said (in Ps. 85:9), ‘Let me hear what God, the Lord, will speak.’ The Holy One, blessed be He, said to Moses, ‘I am speaking peace towards them; there is nothing in My heart against My children,’ as stated (ibid.), ‘for He will speak peace unto His people and unto His saints; and let them not turn to folly.’ It is also written after this (in vs. 10), ‘Surely His salvation is near for those who fear Him, [for His glory to dwell in our land].’ When? On the day that the Tabernacle was erected.” For R. Joshua the Priest has said in the name of R. Eliezer that before the Tabernacle was erected, there was strife between the Holy One, blessed be He, and Israel; but on the day that the Tabernacle was erected, a peace was concluded, as stated (in vs. 9), “for He will speak peace unto His people and unto His saints; and let them not turn to folly.” R. Simeon b. Laqish said concerning it (the verse), “What [reason] is there for me to learn [this] from the book of Psalms? It is a matter of [record in the] Torah; for even in the place [under consideration] (i.e., in Numb. 7:1), there is nothing at all lacking (which is found in Ps. 85:9–10). What is written above on the matter (in Numb. 6:26)? ‘The Lord lift up His face unto you and grant you peace.’ When? (According to Numb. 7:1) ‘On the day that the Tabernacle was erected.’”
