וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע הָעָ֗ם אֶת־הַדָּבָ֥ר הָרָ֛ע הַזֶּ֖ה וַיִּתְאַבָּ֑לוּ וְלֹא־שָׁ֛תוּ אִ֥ישׁ עֶדְי֖וֹ עָלָֽיו׃
At nang marinig ng bayan ang masamang balitang ito, sila ay nagdalamhati; at walang sinumang nagsuot ng kanyang mga palamuti.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
ויתאבלו ולא שתו איש עדיו עליו. The fact that the Israelites took off their jewelry while in morning teaches all of us that at a time when we contemplate our general conduct and examine our sins we should go into mourning, cry, sit on the ground, and in exchange for sackcloth remove costly garments, all in sorrow for having killed our soul through sin. Perhaps this will cause G–d to have pity on us.
