## In Jewish tradition

In the verse the noise of the camp sounds like people shouting for victory or crying in defeat. Moses says it is neither but the sound of singing.

**Interpretation.** Tradition says that the singing was a sign of the golden calf's worship. Joshua mistook it for war, but Moses knew it was a celebration of idols.

### Examples

- And he said: 'It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome, but the noise of them that sing do I hear.' (Torah EXO.32.18, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/M/mastery/#x1)
