 The Rabbis compared this to a man who struck his son a strong blow, and then put a compress on the son's wound, telling his son that so long as the compress was on his wound, he could eat and drink at will, and bathe in hot or cold water, without fear.But if the son removed the compress, his skin would break out in sores.Even so, did God tell Israel that God created the Evil Inclination (, "yetzer hara"), but also created the Torah as its antidote.
