חסידות אויף שמות 32:24

וָאֹמַ֤ר לָהֶם֙ לְמִ֣י זָהָ֔ב הִתְפָּרָ֖קוּ וַיִּתְּנוּ־לִ֑י וָאַשְׁלִכֵ֣הוּ בָאֵ֔שׁ וַיֵּצֵ֖א הָעֵ֥גֶל הַזֶּֽה׃

האָב איך צו זײ געזאָגט: װער עס האָט גאָלד, נעמט אַראָפּ פֿון זיך; און זײ האָבן מיר געגעבן, און איך האָב עס אַרײַנגעװאָרפֿן אין פֿײַער, און עס איז אַרױסגעקומען דאָסדאָזיקע קאַלב.

However, an act of the Satan succeeded. As at Mount Sinai, they made the [golden] calf, such that the sin of idolatry is a sin of the intellect. At the Tent of Meeting, there was the sin of the scouts when they rejected the precious land, and [exhibited] fear of the seven nations – such that all of this was a sin of the soul, the seat of which is in the heart. The Plains of Moav was the sin of the daughters of Moav, which was with the body. And some from each of these remained for [all] the generations. [About] the sin of the calf, it is stated (Exodus 32:24), “but on the day when I take account, etc.” [About] the sin of the scouts, it is stated (Psalms 107:26-27), “So He raised His hand [in oath] to make fall […] their offspring among the nations and scatter them through the lands.” And they cried an empty crying, but it was established as a crying for the generations. [About] the sin of the Plains of Moav, it is stated in Yehoshua (22:17), “Is the sin of Peor such a small thing to us? We have not purified ourselves from it.”
