כִּ֤י תַֽעֲבֹד֙ אֶת־הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה לֹֽא־תֹסֵ֥ף תֵּת־כֹּחָ֖הּ לָ֑ךְ נָ֥ע וָנָ֖ד תִּֽהְיֶ֥ה בָאָֽרֶץ׃
Lorsque tu cultiveras la terre, elle cessera de te faire part de sa fécondité; tu seras errant et fugitif par le monde."
Zohar
When man sinned, the earth was cursed, and all these good things left it, as it is written, “cursed is the earth for thy sake” (Gen. 3, 17), and again, “when thou tillest the ground it shall not give its strength to thee” (Ibid. 4, 12), and again, “thorns and thistles it shall bring forth to thee” (Ibid. 3, 18).
