When God Threw Truth to the Ground | Parshat Chayei Sarah | Into The Verse Podcast

- The Midrash says that chesed and emet, Kindness and Truth, disagreed about whether God should create humankind. And the puzzling outcome of that argument was: “God took Truth and threw it to the earth.” But what does that actually mean? The answer may be in Parshat Chayei Sarah, where chesed and emet “meet up” for the very first time in a rather surprising place: the story of how Rebecca was chosen to be Isaac’s wife.
Join Ari Levisohn and Tikva Hecht as they dig into the details of this story and uncover a message about our human struggle to understand what God means by “truth.”

Animals are symbolic for our animalistic nature. She is kind to both those who are kind and symbolically,those not,represented by the animals, friends and enemies. We haven't done much if we are only kind to our friends. Kindness to all is the whole truth. She is righteously kind.
You're missing the other midrash where Eliezer wanted his daughter to marry Yitzhak. The truth he was led to was that his child was not meant for Yitzhak. Through his encounter with Rivkah at the well, Emet was given to him via the miracles that revealed her high status. His further as for Emet from the family was evoking Hashem to continue with this path of truth and placing Lavan and his mother in a situation where they knew ultimately this was in the hands of Hashem, basically telling him, you already know emet stop looking for a way out.
Throw Truth to Earth
Trial
I Swear to tell the Truth the whole Truth so help me God
God is Judge
Speak Truth
Throwing truth to the earth is like saying," I put my essence in Man,through this woman". Adam is of the earth. Adam means human. Then after putting truth in flesh she served flesh as though a servant to the fleshly natured people as well thus being thrown to the earth to serve the earth(Man).
Have you ever told a half-truth (which is not really truth), but HaShem had events unfold so that your half-truth actually became the entire truth? I have seen this in my life. It has felt in the end as both truth and kindness were served.
Eleazar only speaks half a truth to Laban about what he relays were his master’s instruction-yet somehow, HaShem allows events to unfold that allows the half truth to become whole.
I don’t know-that’s just what came to my mind.
I enjoy your podcasts very much-thank you for the time and care you put into them.
I never thought of that. Since truth is desired in the inward parts. I perceived Eliezer as being discerning of Laban's character and did not share fully.
Hm, not sure...
Truth and Peace are opposites in the Story of Abraham and Sarah.
God forgoes truth for the sake of Peace.
And we know that Tsedek is Gevurah and opposite to Chessed.
What we see here is how these opposites kiss in this union.
Isaac is the side of Justice and Peace.
Rebecca is the side of Kindness and Tuth.

How do you think Isaiah 59 fits here? Especially verses 14, 15? One rendering is, Justice (משפט) has fallen in the streets..., and truth (האמת ) is lacking?
Eve came out of Adam thus sprouting from the earth.Come out of her my people.
His people are the Truth.
Then HaShem G-d formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
עָפָר֙ מִן־ הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה
What was the sin in the garden? Ultimately, what is Truth? Man, created from the dust of the Earth, is punished for their desire to differentiate between good and evil, to seek out Truth, the desire to be like G-d. The price is a life of hardship and ultimately death. ...till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken; for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. And the Nachash? ...upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. עָפָ֖ר
There are 2kinds of Mankind. Those who have control of their animalistic nature,they are righteously kind, and those who do not and they are not righteous but often look kind because they do kind things but not with the right heart. They are chaotic.
The first truth in flesh was Eve.

When Hashem threw Emet to the ground
He was looking for it to sprout out like bread.
