ייִדישער מחשבֿה אויף תהילים 37:7

Some difficulties in the text of the Parshah.

(2) When he is struck with a severe financial loss, or some calamity occurs to one of his loved ones - if his calmness overcomes his shock, and he humbly accepts the Creator's decree, and justifies the Divine judgment - this attests to good submission and to his lowliness before G-d, as the verse tells of Aharon when Nadav and Avihu were killed (by a heavenly fire): "And Aharon was silent" (Vayikra 10:3), and David said: "Be silent to G-d and wait patiently for Him" (Tehilim 37:7), and "Therefore the wise shall keep silence in that time" (Amos 5:13).
