כִּ֣י זֹ֣את הַבְּרִ֡ית אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֶכְרֹת֩ אֶת־בֵּ֨ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֜ל אַחֲרֵ֨י הַיָּמִ֤ים הָהֵם֙ נְאֻם־יְהוָ֔ה נָתַ֤תִּי אֶת־תּֽוֹרָתִי֙ בְּקִרְבָּ֔ם וְעַל־לִבָּ֖ם אֶכְתֲּבֶ֑נָּה וְהָיִ֤יתִי לָהֶם֙ לֵֽאלֹהִ֔ים וְהֵ֖מָּה יִֽהְיוּ־לִ֥י לְעָֽם׃
Sebab inilah perjanjian yang akan Kuadakan dengan kaum Israel sesudah masa itu, demikianlah firman Yang Mahakekal: Aku akan menaruh Taurat-Ku di dalam batin mereka dan menuliskannya di hati mereka; Aku akan menjadi Allah mereka, dan mereka akan menjadi umat-Ku.
For the Perplexed of the Generation
Also, [we need this allowance of eating meat] so long as the ethical recognition has not reached a clear status, so long as we have not reached that level that we have been promised about, that (Jeremiah 31:33) “I will place my Torah within them, and on their hearts I will write it,” which means that morality will then be felt with all of its brilliance in the hearts of man. (Jeremiah 31:34) “And they will no longer teach each other, a man to his fellow, a man to his brother, to say ‘Know God’, for everyone will know Me, from the smallest to the biggest.” And what is “knowledge of God”? The prophet has already taught us, (Jeremiah 9:23) “This is what a person can praise himself with. Think and know Me, for I am God, who does kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the land, for these I desire, says God.” Behold, it is the natural morality in its widened understanding that itself is truly “knowledge of God”! So long as man requires educators from the outside [to teach him] the obligations of human ethics and morality, he will also need many guards and fences so that the way that he lives does not get corrupted, as well as to make him ready to receive the appropriate and desired instruction. Sometimes, we also need to give up on some perceptible aspect of the ways of morality, in order to get humanity ready for an even higher level, because if we were to put first what should really come later, then we would lose everything.
