하박국 2:8의 Halakhah

From the roots of the commandment, [there is a need to] preface: The matter is known that in all of the commandments of the Torah, God distances us form a thing according to [the degree] of the stumbling found in it. And there is no doubt that the planting of a vineyard is the cause of wine, which [brings] several stumbling blocks to people. From its desire have many casualties fallen , since [wine] stimulates the 'impulse of the heart of man which is evil,' and it pushes off the good impulse. And all of its counsel is, "Eat, drink and lay down to fall asleep." And [it is] like the matter that is written (Habakuk 2:8), "And surely the one that wine betrays," and the one who separates from it is called holy. And nonetheless God, may He be blessed, allowed it to us because of its slight purpose for bodies that its found in its slight [consumption]. And since it is only permitted for a great need, the verse obligated us that if also the start of its planting or its seeding will be in such a way that there is an angle of iniquity and sin in it, that we not keep it and that we should not benefit from it at all, but [rather] that it should all be burnt and destroyed from the world. Are all of the stumbling blocks that come out from at it after the end of its ripening not enough for us? [Hence,] it is not good for also its beginning to be in sin, but [rather] all of it should be incinerated - the fruit and the chaff and the wood and everything that is in it.
