It is written: “For a sun and a shield is Hava'ye Elokim.” The explanation of this verse is as follows: “Shield” is a covering for the sun, to protect the creatures so that they should be able to bear its heat. As our Sages, of blessed memory, have said, “In Time to Come, the Holy One, blessed be He, will take out the sun from its sheath, the wicked will be punished by it...” Now, just as the covering shields (i.e. conceals) the sun, so does the name Elokim shield (i.e., conceal)] the name Hava'ye, blessed be He.
