א. עַל־יְדֵי זְרִיזוּת זוֹכֶה לִהְיוֹת רוֹעֶה נֶאֱמָן, וְסִימָן לַדָּבָר: לֵךְ אֶל נְ'מָ'לָ'ה' עָצֵל, וּכְתִיב: מִשָׁ'ם רוֹעֶ'ה אֶבֶ'ן יִשְׂרָאֵ'ל.

**The aleph bet book, translated by Moshe Mykoff. New York: Breslov Research Institute, 1986:**
When a person is zealous, he merits becoming a faithful leader. This is alluded to in the verse, “Go to the *NeMaLaH*(ant) you lazy one” (Proverbs 6:6). *NeMaLaH* is written with the last letters of *“mi’shaM ro’eH eveNyisraeL* (from then on he became a shepherd, a builder in Israel)” (Genesis 49:24).
