It states,¹⁹⁵ “There are four primary categories of damage: The ox (Shor-שור), the pit (Bor-בור), the tooth (Mav’eh-מבעה), and the fire (Ba’er-בער).” The ox-Shor-שור shares the same root as the term “I behold him-Ashurenu-אשורנו,”¹⁹⁶ and thus refers to lustful gazing. This kind of sight causes a person great damage. The “pit-Bor-בור” refers to an¹⁹⁷ “uncultivated field-Sdei Boor-שדה בור,” that has not been plowed or sown. This refers to a person who does not study Torah, but goes about idly. “Mav’eh-מבעה” means “teeth,” and refers to a person who eats with no restraint. “Fire-Ba’er-בער” refers to anger, that is, to a person who boils over with anger, like fire.
