????? ??????, ????
The Midrash says:
?????: I (Hashem)and not a Malach
????: means ????? ?????
R’ Yonasan Eibushitz says that this Midrash needs an explanation. There is a famous episode between R’ Akiva and Tornusrufus. Tornusrufus asked “If you are telling me that Hashem keeps the shabbos, how can there be rain on Shabbos? (As there would be an issue of ?????). R’ Akiva that it is all one reshus for Hashem. There is no “other reshus” vis-a-vis Hashem. As such there will be no ?????.
No we can understand the Midrash. If a Malach would be in charge of rain, it would be considered ????? (since only by Hashem do we view the entire world as one reshus). But since Hashem and not a Malach brings the rain, therefore it can come ????, specifically ????? ?????
