Targum Pseudo-Jonathan transforms the concluding verse of the Song of the Sea into a piece of cosmic architecture: Thou wilt bring them in, and plant them on the mountain of Thy sanctuary, the place which Thou hast provided before the throne of Thy glory, the house of Thy holy Shekhinah, which Thou, O Lord, hast prepared, Thy sanctuary that with both hands Thou hast established.
Read the Targum's additions carefully. The Temple Mount is not merely a future destination. It was provided before the throne of glory, meaning it was set in place in the Holy One's design before creation itself. The <a href='/categories/kabbalah.html'>mystical tradition</a> later developed this into the doctrine of the supernal sanctuary, the heavenly Temple that mirrors the earthly one.
And the phrase that changes everything: with both hands Thou hast established. Elsewhere in Scripture, the right hand alone is usually enough. One hand created the heavens. One hand drowned Pharaoh's army. But the sanctuary requires both hands. Why?
The Maggid hears an answer in the structure of the line. Judgment uses one hand. Mercy uses one hand. A sanctuary, where the Holy One meets His people, requires both. It is the place where judgment and mercy are joined. Take away either, and it ceases to be a sanctuary and becomes either a courtroom or a playground.
The takeaway: any place worth calling holy needs both hands. The home that is all discipline becomes a prison. The home that is all indulgence becomes a ruin. A sanctuary, in the Targum's sense, is where both hands of God have been at work.
