Chasidut sur Les Proverbes 30:23
תַּ֣חַת שְׂ֭נוּאָה כִּ֣י תִבָּעֵ֑ל וְ֝שִׁפְחָ֗ה כִּֽי־תִירַ֥שׁ גְּבִרְתָּֽהּ׃ (פ)
le spectacle d’une femme digne d’aversion qui trouve un épouseur, et le spectacle de la servante qui supplante sa maîtresse.
Baal Shem Tov
The essence of unification is not to separate the mind from speech, and not to mix evil into the good. This is the meaning of (Genesis 2:9) "The tree of knowledge of good and evil," and (Proverbs 30:23) "A slave-girl who supplants her mistress -" all hinting at the upper waters.
