the day that God created man upon the earth, and from one end of heaven to the other." (And Rav Judah in the name of Rav also taught that as soon as Adam sinned, God placed God's hand upon Adam and diminished him.) The Gemara reconciled the interpretations of Rabbi Eleazar and Rav Judah in the name of Rav by concluding that the distance from the earth to the firmament must equal the distance from one end of heaven to the other. Rabbi Levi addressed the question that raises: "Did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and live?" (, in turn, refers back to the encounter at Sinai reported at , , and after.) Rabbi Levi taught that the world would not have been able to survive hearing the voice of God in God's power, but instead, as says, "The voice of the Lord is with power."

(Some read , kashefim, as an acronym for , kachash pamalia, "contradicting the legion [of Heaven].") But the Gemara noted that says, "There is none else besides Him (God)." Rabbi Hanina interpreted to teach that even sorcerers have no power to
