יוֹדֵ֣עַ צַ֭דִּיק נֶ֣פֶשׁ בְּהֶמְתּ֑וֹ וְֽרַחֲמֵ֥י רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים אַכְזָרִֽי׃
Alam ng matuwid ang pangangailangan ng kanyang hayop, ngunit ang habag ng masasama ay malupit.
Tzava'at HaRivash
It states,176Proverbs 12:10 “The Tzaddik knows-Yode’ah-יודע his animal soul.” The explanation is that he even binds his animal soul to the service of the Creator, blessed is He. For, the term “knows-Yode’ah-יודע” is a term of binding and adhesion.
