74) “And the Lord said to the fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.” When the Creator created the world in the work of creation, He created the fish of the sea on the fifth day. At that time He commanded and said, “One fish will swallow Jonah, who will be in the fish’s entrails three days and three nights. Then it will vomit it out.”
75) Everything that the Creator did in the work of creation, He set conditions to all of them. On the first day, he created the heaven. He conditioned with them that they would raise Elijah by storm to the heaven. On that day, He created the light and conditioned with it that it would darken the sun in Egypt for three days, as it is written, “And there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days.”
76) On the second day, He created the firmament to divide between water and water. The Creator conditioned with them that the water would divide for Israel between impurity and purity to be purified in them, and so it was.
77) On the third day, He brought forth the earth out of the water and drained the water, making the sea out of that water drainage, when they were drained into a single place. He conditioned with the sea that it would let Israel pass within it on dry land, and drown the Egyptians. And so it was. He also conditioned with the earth that it would open its mouth in the dispute of Korah, swallowing Korah and his entire congregation, and so it was.
78) On the fourth day, He created the sun and the moon, as it is written, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven.” He conditioned with the sun that it would stand at half the sky in Joshua’s days, and he conditioned with the stars to make war with Sisera.
79) On the fifth day, He created the fish of the sea and the birds of the sky. He conditioned with the birds that craws would feed Elijah, as it is written, “I have commanded the ravens to provide for you there.” “I have commanded,” in the work of creation. He also conditioned with the fish that a fish would come to swallow Jonah and vomit him out.
80) On the sixth day, He created the man. He conditioned with him that a woman would come out of him, who would feed Elijah, as it is written, “Behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.” “Behold, I have commanded,” since the day the world was created. Here, too, it is written, “And the Lord said to the fish.” “Said” means He told him in the six days of creation.
