32. "And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of El Shadai, but by My name, Hashem, I was not known to them" (Shemot 6:3). Rabbi Chizkiyah opened the discussion saying, "Blessed is the man to whom Hashem imputes no iniquity..." (Tehilim 32:2). How obtuse are people who do not know and do not observe why they are in the world. For when the Holy One, blessed be He, created the world, He made man in His image and made him the way He did, in order that he should be occupied with the Torah and walk in His ways.
32. וָאֵרָא אֶל אַבְרָהָם אֶל יִצְחָק וְאֶל יַעֲקֹב בְּאֵל שַׁדָּי וּשְׁמִי יְיָ' לֹא נוֹדַעְתִּי לָהֶם. רִבִּי חִזְקִיָּה פָּתַח, אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם לֹֹא יַחְשֹׁב ה' לוֹ עֲוֹן וְגוֹ.' כַּמָּה אִינּוּן בְּנֵי נָשָׁא אֲטִימִין, דְּלָא יָדְעִין, וְלָא מִסְתַּכְּלָן, עַל מַה קַיָּימִין בְּעָלְמָא. דְּהָא קוּדְשָׁה ב"ה כַּד בָּרָא עָלְמָא, עָבֵד לֵיהּ לְבַר נָשׁ בְּדִיּוּקְנָא דִּילֵיהּ, וְאַתְקִין לֵיהּ בְּתִקּוּנוֹי, בְּגִין דְּיִשְׁתַּדַּל בְּאוֹרַיְיתָא, וְיֵהַךְ בְּאוֹרְחוֹי.
