Segment 1א׳

תָּא חֲזֵי כְּתִיב, (בראשית ל׳:כ״ב) וַיִּזְכֹּר אֱלֹהִים אֶת רָחֵל וְגו', פָּתַח וְאָמַר, (תהילים מ״ו:א׳) לַמְנַצֵּחַ לִבְנֵי קֹרַח עַל עֲלָמוֹת שִׁיר. הַאי קְרָא, אִית לְאִסְתַּכָּלָא בֵּיהּ, דְּרָזָא דְּחָכְמְתָא אִיהוּ. וְכָל הַנֵּי שִׁירִין וְתוּשְׁבְּחָן, דְּהֲווּ אָמְרֵי בְּנֵי קֹרַח, כֻּלְּהוּ מֵחַדְתִּין אִינוּן שִׁירִין וְתוּשְׁבְּחָן דְּהֲווּ מִלְּקַדְּמִין, וְכֵן כָּל אִינוּן שִׁירִין וְתוּשְׁבְּחָן דְּאָמַר דָּוִד וְכָל אִינוּן דְּהֲווּ עִמֵּיהּ, כֻּלְּהוּ הֲווּ בְּרָזָא עִלָּאָה, בְּרָזָא דְחָכְמְתָא.
