The word <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tzedek<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, is very similar to the word <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tzedakah<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the Hebrew word for charity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Gemara uses this verse to show how God is greater than any living monarch. When one wants an audience with a monarch, they would bring a large expensive gift. Even with such a gift it is uncertain that the ruler will accept the gift. Even if the monarch accepts the gift, it is uncertain they will accept an audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking this verse, the Talmud explains that God is different. God says &#8220;I, with charity (<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tzedakah<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), will behold your presence.\u201d All God needs is for man to give a single coin to a poor neighbor for an audience. God does not require massive expensive gifts. David, as a monarch himself, responds to this message in the second part of the verse. &#8220;I will be satisfied when I awake with Your likeness.&#8221; David hopes to emulate God&#8217;s humble ask of man in his own throne room. Opening up the doors of his palace to those who do something simple as an act of charity for the poor.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","image":false,"embedded_video":"","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":""},"tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"Giving A Single Coin","main_caption_size":"1","sub_caption":"All that\u2019s required to see God","preview_embedded":"","preview_image":false,"preview_video":"","external_link":"","link_for_pay":false,"tile_gallery_items":false,"credits":""},"alternate_tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"","main_caption_size":"1","sub_caption":"","hide_media":false},"tile_group":{"preview_image_url":false,"main_caption":"","sub_caption":"","":null,"popup_package_extra_content":"","read_time":""},"home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo":{"seo_title":"","seo_description":"","seo_default_title":"","seo_default_description":""},"links":false,"send_noty":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80961"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80961"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80961\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":103802,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80961\/revisions\/103802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
