[Tzava'at HaRivash 99:1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tzava%27at%20HaRivash/r/99:1)

יודע צדיק נפש בהמתו פירוש אפילו הנפש הוא מחבר לעבודת הבורא ומלת יודע הוא לשון התחברות:

**The Way of The Baal Shem Tov. Adapted into English by Rabbi Amiram Markel and Yehudah Shimon Markel, 2020:**
It states,¹⁷⁶ “The *Tzaddik* knows-*Yode’ah*-*יודע* his animal soul.” The explanation is that he even binds his animal soul to the service of the Creator, blessed is He. For, the term “knows-*Yode’ah*-*יודע*” is a term of binding and adhesion.
