旷野第五名巴兰,因以色列人在那里生养〔פָּרוּ〕众多;西奈之名则因恨恶降在列国身上。那山本名何烈——与 拉比阿巴胡 之说相反;何烈之名因列国的毁灭〔חוּרְבָּא〕由之降下。

——因为以色列人在那里生养〔פָּרוּ〕众多;至于西奈的旷野,是因恨恶由那山降在世上列国身上——就是以色列人领受 妥拉 的那座山。
because the Jewish people were fruitful [paru] and multiplied in it; the Sinai Desert, because hatred descended upon the nations of the world on it, on the mountain on which the Jewish people received the Torah.

那么那山本来的名字是什么呢?
And what is the mountain’s true name?
-
它的本名是何烈。
Horeb is its name.
-
这与 拉比阿巴胡 的意思相反,因为 拉比阿巴胡 说:那山的本名是西奈山。
And that disputes the opinion of Rabbi Abbahu, as Rabbi Abbahu said: Mount Sinai is its name.
-
它何以又叫何烈山呢?
And why is it called Mount Horeb?
-
因为世上列国的毁灭〔חוּרְבָּא〕是由那山降下的。
It is because destruction [ḥurba] of the nations of the world descended upon it.
