DEUT863 (Continued from [[LEV856]] Leviticus 20:25 revolting TZADIK 287-91). And he must be zealous to seek peace and pursue it, as it is written [Tehillim 34:15): "Seek peace and pursue it." And he must be zealous in seeking out knowledge of Torah and of the Blessed Creator, as it is written (Hoshea 6:3): "And we will know, we will run to know Hashem." And so have our Sages said (Avos 4:13): "Exile yourself to a place of Torah." And one must be zealous in seeking righteousness, as it is written [this verse]: "Righteousness, righteousness shall you pursue," and (Yeshayahu 51:1): "Listen to me, pursuers of righteousness, seekers of Hashem." And one must be zealous to transcribe books that he must study from; or, if he sees or hears a new interpretation, he must be zealous to write it down and not wait until he forgets it. (Continued at [[EXOD155]] Exodus 12:17 matzos TZADIK 291-3).
