What is the reason for “because,” etc.: It is asked, what is the reason? The answer is, because the world stands in His Holy Name. This is what is written, “For in Him was the rock of the worlds created.” Meaning, the Creator of the worlds, for with two letters the worlds were created, this world and the world to come. This world was created with judgment, and it stands, that is, it is sustained, with judgment. As it is written, “In the beginning Elokim created,” where this name refers to judgment. What is the reason? It is so that the sons of men may behave according to judgment, and not stray from the path.
