6. HE RESPONDS: It was most certainly according to the law of the Torah, and it was done with a lofty secret. Because the earlier were pious and just, this matter was revealed and known among them. And when the wicked increased in the world, this matter was accomplished in a different manner, in order to cover these matters which are in accordance with a lofty secret.
6. אֶלָּא וַדַּאי בְּדִינָא דְּאוֹרַיְיתָא הֲוָה, וּבְרָזָא עִלָּאָה אִתְעָבֵידַת מִלָּה, וּבְגִין דַּהֲווֹ קַדְמָאֵי חֲסִידֵי זַכָּאֵי, מִלָּה דָּא אִתְגַּלְיָיא בֵּינַיְיהוּ, וּמִדְּאַסְגִּיאוּ חַיָּיבֵי בְּעָלְמָא, אִתְעָבֵידַת הַאי מִלָּה בְּגַוְונָא אַחֲרָא, בְּגִין לְאִתְכַּסָּאָה מִלִּין דְּאִינּוּן בְּרָזָא עִלָּאָה.
