Rabbi Shimon bar Yocḥai says: Come and see how beloved the Jewish people are before the Holy One, Blessed be He. Every place they were exiled, the Divine Presence went with them. They were exiled to Egypt, and the Divine Presence went with them, as it says: “Did I reveal myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt?” (I Samuel 2:27). They were exiled to Babylonia, and the Divine Presence went with them, as it is stated: “For your sake I have sent to Babylonia” (Isaiah 43:14). So too, when, in the future, they will be redeemed, the Divine Presence will be with them, as it is stated: “Then the Lord your God will return with your captivity” ( Deuteronomy 30:3). It does not state: “He will bring back”, but rather “He will return,” which teaches that the Holy One, Blessed be He, will return together with them from among the exiles.
