## In Jewish tradition

In Isaiah God says He "gave access" to people who did not ask for Him, meaning He let them find Him and come near.

**Interpretation.** The tradition reads this as God reaching out to nations that had not sought Him, showing that He is open to all who turn to Him.

### Examples

- I gave access to them that asked not for Me, I was at hand to them that sought Me not; I said: 'Behold Me, behold Me', unto a nation that was not called by My name. (Prophets ISA.65.1, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/A/access/#x1)
