A generous eye, a modest demeanor and a humble soul are the traits of the disciples of our father Abraham. An evil eye, an arrogant demeanor and an insatiable soul are attributes of the disciples of the wicked Balaam. What is the difference between our father Abraham’s disciples and those of the wicked Balaam? Our father Abraham’s disciples enjoy this world and inherit the World to Come, as it is said, “That I may cause those who love me to inherit substance and so that I may fill their treasures.” The wicked Balaam’s disciples inherit Gehinnom and go down to the pit of destruction, as it is said, “But You, God, will bring them down to the pit of destruction; bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I trust in You.” Citation Prov. 8 Citation Ps. 55 Passage יְהוּדָה בֶן תֵּימָא אוֹמֵר: הֱוֵי עַז כַּנָּמֵר וְקַל כַּנֶּשֶׁר, רָץ כַּצְּבִי וְגִבּוֹר כָּאֲרִי, לַעֲשׂוֹת רְצוֹן אָבִיךָ שֶׁבַּשָּׁמַיִם. הוּא הָיָה אוֹמֵר: עַז פָּנִים לְגֵיהִנֹּם, וּבֹשֶׁת פָּנִים לְגַן עֵדֶן. יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ, יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ, שֶׁיִּבָּנֶה בֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ בִּמְהֵרָה בְיָמֵינוּ, וְתֵן חֶלְקֵנוּ בְּתוֹרָתֶךָ: ye|hu|DAH ven tei|MA o|MER: he|VEI az ka|na|MER ve|KAL ka|NE|sher, ratz katz|VI ve|gi|BOR ka-a|RI, la-a|SOT re|TZON a|vi|CHA she|ba|sha|MA|yim. hu ha|YAH o|MER: az pa|NIM le|gei|hi|NOM, u|VO|shet pa|NIM le|GAN E|den. ye|HI ra|TZON mi|le|fa|NE|cha, a|do|NAI e|lo|HEI|nu vei|lo|HEI a|vo|TEI|nu, she|yi|ba|NEH beit ha|mik|DASH bim|he|RAH v'ya|MEI|nu, ve|TEN chel|KE|nu b'to|ra|TE|cha: ye|hu|DHAH ven te|MAʾ ʾo|MER: he|VE ʿaz kan|na|MER ve|QAL kan|NE|sher, ratz kat|tze|VI ve|ghib|BOR ka|ʾa|RI, la|ʿa|śOTH re|TZON ʾa|vi|KHA sheb|bas|sha|MA|yim. huʾ ha|YAH ʾo|MER: ʿaz pa|NIM le|ghe|hin|NOM, u|VO|sheth pa|NIM le|GHAN ʿE|dhen. ye|HI ra|TZON mil|le|fa|NE|kha, a|do|NAI ʾe|lo|HE|nu veʾ|lo|HE ʾa|vo|THE|nu, shey|yib|ba|NEH beth ham|miq|DASH bim|he|RAH ve|ya|ME|nu, ve|THEN ḥel|QE|nu be|tho|ra|THE|kha: ye|hu|DAH ven te|MA o|MER: he|VE ʿaz kan|na|MER ve|QAL kan|NE|sher, ratz kat|tze|VI ve|gib|BOR ka|a|RI, la|ʿa|SOT re|TZON a|vi|KHA sheb|bas|sha|MA|yim. hu ha|YAH o|MER: ʿaz pa|NIM le|ge|hin|NOM, u|VO|shet pa|NIM le|GAN ʿE|den. ye|HI ra|TZON mil|le|fa|NE|kha, a|do|NAI e|lo|HE|nu ve|lo|HE a|vo|TE|nu, shey|yib|ba|NEH bet ham|miq|DASH bim|he|RAH ve|ya|ME|nu, ve|TEN ḥel|QE|nu be|to|ra|TE|kha: y'hu|DOH ven tei|MO oy|MEIR: he|VEI az ka|no|MEIR v'KAL ka|NE|sher, rotz katz'|VI v'gi|BOYR ko-a|RI, la-a|SOYS r'TZOYN o|vi|CHO she|ba|sho|MA|yim. hu ho|YOH oy|MEIR: az po|NIM l'gei|hi|NOYM, u|VOY|shes po|NIM l'GAN EI|den. y'HI ro|TZOYN mil'|fo|NE|cho, a|do|NOY e|loy|HEI|nu vei|loy|HEI a|voy|SEI|nu, she|yi|bo|NEH beis ha|mik|DOSH bim|hei|ROH v'yo|MEI|nu, v'SEIN chel|KEI|nu b'soy|ro|SE|cho: Judah ben Tema said: Be strong as a leopard, light as an eagle, swift as a gazelle, and brave as a lion, to do the will of your Father in heaven.
