Sefer HaMiddot, Traveling, Part II/ספר המדות·דרך·חלק שני

1On account of those who confess their sins, the Holy One provides schoolteachers who instruct faithfully.

2Confession also brings about the repairing of roads from obstacles.

3The perils of traveling come about when a person blemishes the brit, as hinted in the verse, “You have measured my going about and my lying down, [and You are acquainted with all of my ways”] (Psalms 139:3).

4Travel provides a person with understanding.

5After a frightening dream at night, don’t take to the road on the following day.

6Being on the road brings a person to slander, idolatry, immorality and bloodshed. These sins also diminish one’s livelihood.

7Large steps hinder concentration.
