God is represented as roaring like a lion, etc., etc. _Berachoth_, fol. 3, col. 1. See chap. iii. God is said to wear phylacteries. _Berachoth_, fol. 6, col. 1. This is referred to in the morning service for Yom Kippur, where it is said He showed "the knot of the phylacteries to the meek one" (i.e., Moses). He is said to pray; for it is written (Isa. lvi. 7), "Them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in the house of my prayer." It is thus He prays: "May it please me that my mercy may overcome my anger, that all my attributes may be invested with compassion, and that I may deal with my children in the attribute of kindness, and that out of regard to them I may pass by judgment." Ibid., fol. 7, col. 1. He is a respecter of persons; as it is written (Num. vi. 26), "The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee." Ibid., fol. 20, col. 2. When accused by Elijah of having turned Israel's heart back again (1 Kings xviii. 37), He confesseth the evil He had done (Micah iv. 6). Ibid., fol. 31, col. 2. God, when charged by Moses as being the cause of Israel's idolatry, confesseth the justice of that accusation by saying (Num. xiv. 20), "I have pardoned according to thy word." Ibid., fol. 32, col. 1. He drops two tears into the ocean, and this causes the earth to quake. Ibid., fol. 59, col. 1. He is represented as a hairdresser; for it is said He plaited Eve's hair (and some have actually enumerated the braids as 700). _Eiruvin_, fol. 18, col. 1. In a Hagada (see Sanhedrin, fol. 95, col. 2), God is conceived as acting the barber to Sennacherib, a sort of parody on Isaiah vii. 20. He is said to have created the evil as well as the good passions in man. _Berachoth_, fol. 61, col. 1. God weeps every day. _Chaggigah_, fol. 3, col. 2. He dresses Himself in a veil and shows Moses the Jewish Liturgy, saying unto him, "When the Israelites sin against me, let them copy this example, and I will pardon their sins." _Rosh Hashanah_, fol. 17, col. 2. God is said to have regretted creating certain things. _Succah_, fol. 52, col, 2. God is represented as irrigating the land of Israel, but leaving the rest of the earth to be watered by an angel. _Taanith_, fol. 10, col. 1. It is said that He will make a dance for the righteous, and as He places Himself in the centre, they will point at Him with their fingers, and say (Isa. xxv. 9), "Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him;... we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation." Ibid., fol. 31, col. 1. God is said to have prevaricated in making peace between Abraham and Sarah, which is not so surprising; for while one Rabbi teaches that prevarication is under certain circumstances allowable, another asserts it absolutely as a duty; for it is written (1 Sam. xvi. 2), "And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the Lord said, Take a heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice unto the Lord." _Yevamoth_, fol. 65, col. 2.
