Commentary
And when he negated from him the honor for his detachment from the party of the beloved king, and his alignment with the party of the adversarial, ungrateful devil, he followed the intended with the wealth from which all pleasures arise. He intends by it the gathering and companionship with friends, to be attached to his wealth and to turn away from the king's dependents due to their weakness, which granted him wealth and commanded him to support them with it. He said: "And no food." And when the exception is a criterion for the generality, he said: "Except from ghislin," meaning the washing of the people of the Fire from their heat and their filth, two actions of washing. It is necessary from this food that it be under [another] so that the water of its washing may flow to it.
