민수기 31:3의 Chasidut
וַיְדַבֵּ֤ר מֹשֶׁה֙ אֶל־הָעָ֣ם לֵאמֹ֔ר הֵחָלְצ֧וּ מֵאִתְּכֶ֛ם אֲנָשִׁ֖ים לַצָּבָ֑א וְיִהְיוּ֙ עַל־מִדְיָ֔ן לָתֵ֥ת נִקְמַת־יְהוָ֖ה בְּמִדְיָֽן׃
모세가 백성에게 일러 가로되 너희 중에서 사람을 택하여 싸움에 나갈 준비를 시키고 미디안을 치러 보내어서 여호와의 원수를 미디안에게 갚되
Kedushat Levi
Numbers 31,3. “Moses spoke to the people, saying: “let men be picked from among you for a campaign, and let them fall upon Midian to wreak G’d’s vengeance on Midian.”
When someone goes out into battle fully trusting in the Lord to help him (believing his cause to be just) he will surely succeed, as he does not engage in battle for his own sake but is concerned exclusively with carrying out G’d’s will. Our verse therefore has to be understood as follows: “let the men to be picked for the army be those who will not engage in the battle for their own sake, i.e. with a view to the booty to be gained, but who do so only in order to be the vehicle for G’d’s vengeance on Midian.”...
