Sastra Bait Kedua Keluaran 32:19: On Drunkenness

וַֽיְהִ֗י כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר קָרַב֙ אֶל־הַֽמַּחֲנֶ֔ה וַיַּ֥רְא אֶת־הָעֵ֖גֶל וּמְחֹלֹ֑ת וַיִּֽחַר־אַ֣ף מֹשֶׁ֗ה וַיַּשְׁלֵ֤ךְ מידו [מִיָּדָיו֙] אֶת־הַלֻּחֹ֔ת וַיְשַׁבֵּ֥ר אֹתָ֖ם תַּ֥חַת הָהָֽר׃

Ketika Musa sudah dekat ke perkemahan dan melihat anak lembu itu serta orang-orang yang menari-nari, bangkitlah amarahnya. Ia melemparkan loh-loh itu dari tangannya dan memecahkannya di kaki gunung.

On Drunkenness

[124] Now everyone who comes near to the camp “sees the calf and the dance” (Exod. 32:19), as Moses himself shews. For all of us who have the deliberate purpose to stand close to the camp of the body find themselves in the company of vanity and its band of revellers. Whereas those who yearn for the Vision and long to behold things incorporeal are practisers of simplicity, and therefore it is their custom to make their dwelling as far as may be from the body.
