Sastra Bait Kedua Ulangan 14:1: On the Confusion

בָּנִ֣ים אַתֶּ֔ם לַֽיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֑ם לֹ֣א תִתְגֹּֽדְד֗וּ וְלֹֽא־תָשִׂ֧ימוּ קָרְחָ֛ה בֵּ֥ין עֵינֵיכֶ֖ם לָמֵֽת׃

Kamu adalah anak-anak Yang Mahakekal, Allahmu. Janganlah kamu menoreh-noreh tubuhmu dan janganlah kamu menggunduli bagian di antara kedua matamu karena orang mati.

On the Confusion of Tongues

[145] But they who live in the knowledge of the One are rightly called “Sons of God,” as Moses also acknowledges when he says, “Ye are sons of the Lord God” (Deut. 14:1), and “God who begat thee” (ibid. 32:18), and “Is not He Himself thy father?” (ibid. 6). Indeed with those whose soul is thus disposed it follows that they hold moral beauty to be the only good, and this serves as a counterwork engineered by veteran warriors to fight the cause which makes Pleasure the end and to subvert and overthrow it.
