{"Image DocumentName": "Midrash Rabbah - Numbers XI:2", "Image ImageDescription": ". My beloved spoke, and said unto me (S.S. II, 10). He said, I am the Lord thy God (Ex. XX, 2). Another exposition of the text, My beloved is like a gazelle \u0091: Israel, explained R. Isaac, said to the Holy One, blessed be He: Sovereign of the Universe! Thou hast told us that Thou wilt come to us first.\u0092 My beloved is like a gazelle \u0091; as the gazelle appears and then disappears, so the first redeemer appeared and then disappeared. R. Berekiah in the name of R. Levi said: Like the first redeemer so will the final redeemer be. The first redeemer was Moses, who appeared to them and then disappeared. For how long did he disappear from their sight? R. Tanhuma said: Three months1; accordingly it is written, And they met Moses and Aaron, etc. (ib. V, 20).2 The final redeemer will also appear to them and then disappear. How long will he remain hidden from them? R. Tanhuma in the name of R. Hama, son of R. Hoshaya, said: Forty-five days. Thus it is written, And from the time that the continual burnt-offering shall be taken away, and the detestable thing that causeth appalment set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days (Dan. XII, 11), and it is written, Happy is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days (ib. 12).", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
