## In Jewish tradition

To leap and frolic like young animals. Jeremiah uses it for the wicked who celebrate, and Malachi uses it for the joy of the righteous.

**Interpretation.** Malachi's "calves of the stall" are read as the joy of the righteous freed on the day of redemption. The "sun of righteousness" with healing is a sign of God's justice.
