אין ה"נ וחסורי מיחסרא והכי קתני מפיס אדם עם בניו ועם בני ביתו על השלחן אפי' מנה גדולה כנגד מנה קטנה מ"ט כדרב יהודה אמר רב עם בניו ועם בני ביתו אין עם אחרים לא מ"ט כדרב יהודה אמר שמואל מנה גדולה כנגד מנה קטנה אף בחול לאחרים אסור מ"ט משום קוביא:
therefore he informs us [that it is not so]. R. Jacob son of Jacob's daughter also said: He through whom his neighbour is punished is not permitted to enter within the barrier [precincts] of the Holy One, blessed be He. How do we know this? Shall we say, because it is written, And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one said on this manner; and another said on that manner. And there came forth a spirit and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. And he said, I will go forth and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his Prophets. And he [the Lord] said, Thou shalt entice him, and shalt prevail also: go forth, and do so.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' 1 Kings XXII, 20ff

Pri Tzadik
ויהי בימים וגו' וירא בסבלותם: In the Medrash it is written that G-d saw that they had no rest, and Moshe went and established the Shabbat day. This needs explanation - how is it hinted to here that Moshe established the day of rest for them? The verse says that G-d saw their hardships, no more no less. However, there is undoubtedly a hint towards the Shabbat day. The idea is that in every element of the creation of the world the words וירא אלהים כי טוב are used. How is it possible for the verse to say that G-d saw - didn't he see before/during his creation of the world? However, the intention of the verse is that through G-d's vision he was able to put the light (that he had created in the first day) into them. The only time it doesn't say כי טוב is when G-d created darkness and תוהו ובהו on the first day, and on the second day, G-d created Gehinom according to the Talmud in Pesachim (54A). The verse that says that G-d created evil, even though such a concept is not mentioned in the Genesis account of the creation of the world.
