Halakhah for Rosh Hashanah 35:16
וכשהיה בהמ"ק קיים יוצאין אף על אייר מפני פסח קטן
R'Nahman B'Isaac said: We also have learnt the same idea: He that fashioneth the hearts of them all, that considereth all their doings.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ps. XXXIII, 15.');"><sup>20</sup></span> What does this mean? Shall I say that it means this, that [God] has created all creatures and unites all their hearts together?
Sefer HaChinukh
And the proof to these words of ours is that which they said (Rosh Hashanah 18a) concerning a [Divine] decree that has an oath with it, as Rava concludes there, that it is not atoned with a sacrifice or a grain offering, but rather it is atoned with words of Torah; and they have no mention there that God would need to annul [His oath]. As the matters are known and clear to all who see the sun that it is all said metaphorically for the receivers. And in order to direct you on this path in many places, I have been lengthy about this until now.
