Sastra Bait Kedua Imamat 10:16: On Flight and Finding

וְאֵ֣ת ׀ שְׂעִ֣יר הַֽחַטָּ֗את דָּרֹ֥שׁ דָּרַ֛שׁ מֹשֶׁ֖ה וְהִנֵּ֣ה שֹׂרָ֑ף וַ֠יִּקְצֹף עַל־אֶלְעָזָ֤ר וְעַל־אִֽיתָמָר֙ בְּנֵ֣י אַהֲרֹ֔ן הַנּוֹתָרִ֖ם לֵאמֹֽר׃

Adapun kambing jantan korban penghapus dosa itu, Musa menyelidikinya dengan sungguh-sungguh, dan ternyata kambing itu telah dibakar. Maka ia marah kepada Eleazar dan Itamar, anak-anak Harun yang masih tinggal, katanya:

On Flight and Finding

[157] Again, the goat of the sin-offering is sought for by the lover of virtue, but he does not find it; for, as the passage of Holy Writ shews, it had already been burnt (Lev. 10:16). We must consider what he means by this figure. To do no sin is peculiar to God; to repent, to the wise man; and this latter is a very difficult thing, and hard to find.
