Who entered the Holy of Holies except one? And is he always there? No, but once a year and at a certain time. Did anyone wear the Tabernacle except the Levites? And didn’t they wear it as it was established: some were its most important parts, others less important, depending on the dignity of those wearing them? And since it was necessary to protect her, who exactly guarded her and how? Some this way, others the other, and nothing remained uncertain or unordered, even regarding the smallest parts. But among us, if you have acquired even a little fame, often without even that, if, as luck would have it, you have memorized two or three sayings from Scripture, and then not in connection and without proper understanding (such is our hasty wisdom, this Halan pillar, which has opportunely divided the languages!), it is necessary to become highly intelligent against Moses and become Dathan and Abiron (see Num. 16, 12-27) - scolders and atheists! Let us better avoid their insolence and let us not imitate their arrogance, so as not to end up with them (1)! Do not rise high, lest you fall deeper (1). You might be interested in:
