The Tenth Foundation: God is Omniscient
The tenth foundation of the Jewish faith is that God knows everything that goes on in the world. It’s not like some people think, that God created the world then went away, leaving mankind to their own devices (see Ezekiel 9:9). Rather, God is intimately involved and well aware of all the deeds of man. We see this in many places in Tanach. In Genesis 6:5 we are told that “God saw that the evil of man was rampant on the Earth.” In Jeremiah 32:19, it says that God’s metaphorical “eyes are open to all the ways of mankind.”
