Literatur des Zweiten Tempels zu Bamidbar 10:30

וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֵלָ֖יו לֹ֣א אֵלֵ֑ךְ כִּ֧י אִם־אֶל־אַרְצִ֛י וְאֶל־מוֹלַדְתִּ֖י אֵלֵֽךְ׃

Aber [Hobab] sprach zu ihm: Ich will nicht gehen, sondern in mein Land und nach meinem Geburtsort will ich zurückkehren.

On Drunkenness

[40] But even to words of such charm as these Jethro will pay no heed, nor ever follow knowledge in any way, but will hasten to return to the empty vanity which is indeed his own. For we read that he said to Moses, “I will not go, but I will go to my land and my generation” (Num. 10:30); that is, to the unfaith of false opinion which is his kinsman, since he has not learnt the true faith, so dear to real men.
