 God thus commanded the sea to divide in the heavens to be silent before Moses in the sun and the moon to stand still before Joshua in the ravens to feed Elijah in 1 Kings the fire to do no harm to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah in the lions not to harm Daniel in the heavens to open before Ezekiel in and the fish to vomit forth Jonah in 

Similarly, a Midrash taught that God said that if you incline your ear to the Torah, then when you begin speaking the Words of the Torah, all will remain silent before you and listen.The Midrash taught that we learn this from Moses, for because he inclined his ear to the Torah, when he came to begin speaking the words of the Torah, both the heavenly and the earthly beings remained silent and listened.And the Midrash taught that we know this from the words of Moses in "Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak."
