창세기 49:38의 Quotation

And King Solomon, peace be upon him, said (Proverbs 14:9-10), “Fools will advocate guilt; among the upright, good will. The heart knows its own bitterness, and no outsider can share in its joy.” Its explanation is - the fool advocates guilt, since he searches for the blemishes of people and their guilt. So he will attribute defects to them and never speak about their praise or about something good that is found with them. And the analogy for this is that flies always all land on dirty places. And his saying, “fools will advocate (literally, fools advocates),” in the singular is [to address] each and every one of the fools, like (in Genesis 49:22), “(literally) daughters treads on the wall.” And our Rabbis said (Kiddushin 70a), “Anyone who is of flawed lineage never speaks in praise of [others]. And [his way is to] disqualify them with his own flaw.” “Among the upright, good will” - for it is the way of the just to cover over transgressions, and to praise a man when a good thing is found with him. And they spoke in ethics about a [simple] man and a sage who were walking past a carcass. The [former] said, “That carcass is so rotten!” The sage said, “How white are its teeth!” And [Solomon] said after this, “The heart knows its own bitterness.” And every sage knows that Solomon did not bring words that are not useful among his chosen teachings (Proverbs). Rather the matter is coming with regard to the first verse - to say that the evil of the fool that advocates guilt is because it is probable that the sinner has repented from his way. And no one knows the bitterness of the soul of a person, and its joy, besides him. And that lifts up the sin, for the essentials of repentance are according to the bitterness of his soul. Therefore the fool that mentions his iniquity sins and is guilty.

אל מוציאו ממצרים GOD WHO BROUGHT THEM OUT OF EGYPT — Who was the cause of all this greatness? God who brought them out from Egypt; by his strength and his sublimity HE EATS UP (יאכל) THE NATIONS (גוים) who are (צריו) HIS ADVERSARIES.

(Ibid. 5) "And Moses died there": Is it possible that Moses died and wrote "And Moses died there!" But up to this point, Moses wrote; from this point on, Joshua wrote. These are the words of R. Yehudah. (Others say, R. Nehemiah) R. Shimon said to him: Is it not written (Ibid. 31:26) "Take this Torah scroll and place it at the side of the ark, etc."? It must be, then, that Moses wrote in tears what the Holy One Blessed be He told him to write, as in (Jeremiah 36:18) "And Baruch said to them: With his mouth did he utter to me all of these words, and I wrote them in the book in ink." R. Eliezer says: A Heavenly voice called out (for a distance of) twelve mils by twelve mils "And Moses died." S'malyon said (It called out) "And Moses died there, the great scribe of Israel." Whence is it derived that a tunnel issues from the grave of Moses to that of the patriarchs? It is written here "and Moses died there," and elsewhere, (Bereshith 49:31) "There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife." Others say: "Moses did not die, but he stands and serves, it being written here "there," and elsewhere (Shemoth 34:28) "And he (Moses) remained there with the L-rd." Just as there, standing and serving, so, here, standing and serving.
