The world of biblical commentary reveals many secrets. First and foremost, the Bible - which contains the wisdom of the Divine - may be likened to a magnificent diamond, glistening with many brilliant colors all at the same time.
And although the different hues often appear to be contradictory, when you view the totality of the light emanating from the diamond, you begin to appreciate how complementary they really are.
Thus the sages of the Talmud understood that there are many possible truths contained in each biblical statement, each adding it's unique melody to the magnificent synthesizing not in conflicting dissonance but in holy dialectic.
