אשר למהות הבטחון הוא רגיעת נפש הבוטח והשענות לבו על מי שבטח עליו שיעשה לו היותר טוב ומתאים לו בענין שהוא בוטח בו עליו, כפי יכלתו וידיעתו את מה שמתאים לו.

Trust is peace of mind of the one who trusts. That one relies in his heart that the one he trusts in will do what is good and proper for him on the matter he has trusted him with, according to his ability and his understanding of what will further his good.

אבל היסוד אשר ממנו יהיה הבטחון מן הבוטח, וכאשר יעדר לא יהיה הבטחון מצוי--הוא, שיהא בטוח באותו שהוא בטוח עליו, שימלא מה שאמר ויעשה מה שקבל עליו עם המחשבה הטובה עליו שגם מה שלא התנה ולא קבל לעשות, שהוא יעשה בנדבה וחסד.

But the main factor, which leads one to trust in the one trusted, and without which trust cannot exist, is for one's heart to be confident that the one trusted will keep his word and will do what he pledged, and that he will also think to do what is good for him even on what he did not pledge out of pure generosity and kindness (this will be explained).

The riffraff in their midst felt a gluttonous craving; and then the Israelites wept and said, “If only we had meat to eat! We remember the fish that we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic. Now our gullets are shriveled. There is nothing at all! Nothing but this manna to look to!” Now the manna was like coriander seed, and in color it was like bdellium. The people would go about and gather it, grind it between millstones or pound it in a mortar, boil it in a pot, and make it into cakes. It tasted like rich cream. When the dew fell on the camp at night, the manna would fall upon it. Moses heard the people weeping, every clan apart, at the entrance of each tent. יהוה was very angry, and Moses was distressed. And Moses said to יהוה, “Why have You dealt ill with Your servant, and why have I not enjoyed Your favor, that You have laid the burden of all this people upon me? Did I produce all this people, did I engender them, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom as a caregiver carries an infant,’ to the land that You have promised on oath to their fathers? Where am I to get meat to give to all this people, when they whine before me and say, ‘Give us meat to eat!’ I cannot carry all this people by myself, for it is too much for me. If You would deal thus with me, kill me rather, I beg You, and let me see no more of my wretchedness!” Then יהוה said to Moses, “Gather for Me seventy of Israel’s elders of whom you have experience as elders and officers of the people, and bring them to the Tent of Meeting and let them take their place there with you.

[Borrowed from Aram.–Syr. שְׁדַל (= he soothed; he cajoled, allured), שַׁדֵּל (= he cajoled, beguiled, enticed; he seduced). The orig. meaning of this Aram. base was ‘he strove, endeavored’, and it is synonymous with, or, more probably, a secondary form of שׁדר (q.v.).] Derivatives: שַׁדּֽלָן, שִׁדּוּל, שְׁדֻלָּה, הִשֽׁתַּדְּלּוּת, שְׁתַדְלָן.
