At alam mo rin ang ginawa sa akin ni Joab na anak ni Zeruia, ang ginawa niya sa dalawang pinuno ng mga hukbo ng Israel, kay Abner na anak ni Ner at kay Amasa na anak ni Jeter: pinatay niya sila, at nagbuhos siya ng dugo ng digmaan sa panahon ng kapayapaan, at inilagay niya ang dugo ng digmaan sa kanyang pamigkis na nasa kanyang baywang at sa kanyang panyapak na nasa kanyang mga paa.
Zohar
A great and deep mystery is contained in these words. In all His other acts and deeds it may be noted that God made first that which is external and then that which is within; but with regard to the sanctuary the very reverse is the case. Although, for instance, He designed the brain first in thought, yet in fact the cranium comes first. For the shell in all cases emanates from the “other side”, and what is of the “other side” always appears first; the husk is there to guard the fruit and then it is thrown away, as it says, “The wicked prepareth and the righteous shall put it on” (Job 27, 17): the husk is thrown away and a blessing is uttered on the Righteous One.
