rashi - How can Hashem make a mistake in thinking to make the world with Elokim (Midas Hadin)


Genesis 1:1 Rashi s.v. ברא א-להים:



ברא א-להים: ולא אמר ברא ה׳, שבתחלה עלה במחשבה לבראתו במדת הדין, ראה שאין העולם מתקיים, הקדים מדת רחמים ושתפה למדת הדין, היינו דכתיב (להלן ב ד) ביום עשות ה׳ א-להים ארץ ושמים׃



I have a few questions from 1:1-2:4 on this point:





  1. How can Hakodosh Baruch Hu make a mistake in thinking to make the world with Elokim (Midas Hadin)?




  2. How can Hakodosh Baruch Hu make an even a bigger mistake in lasting until 2:4 (see rashi) with the same mistake? Even when, for example, humans make a house, if they see one wall falls down they make the wall with a different, stronger material. So this seems like an even bigger mistake by Hashem for keeping Elokim until 2:4.




  3. So you're saying that 1:1-2:14 is just the creation that Hashem made with midas hadin which could not survive?





  4. If not then why does it keep saying Elokim from 1:1-2:4 and He only realizes His mistake at 2:14 after creation?
