The answer is based on its letters and not its meaning, for if it were based on its meaning, it would prevent him from acting on it, just as Solomon prevented him. Do you not see what God Almighty said about the companion of Moses, and he was torn off from it, so it was on him like a garment, while he was like a letter? According to the meaning, he did it in a manner other than in obedience to God, and God made him miserable. And the companion of Solomon did it in obedience to God, and he was happy.
