284 1) Why does the following narrative follow the destruction of Sedom and the incident of the daughters of Lot? and the most important of them all, ,óÖlŠkÌôíÖëeLÎìÔî
2) What is the stress of the word ó¾ô—from there? 285 Whereby he could no longer fulfill the precept of ³½ò×í Scripture refers to her. :ëe³ÖkÔídÖëíÖñÖz
ó−ìþîê—the taking-in of wayfarers 286 Ber. Rab. 52, 3. 287 Ibid 52, 4. Accordingly ó¾ô does not mean “from Zoar”
(for that is not where Avraham had resided) but “Because of what transpired there [in Zoar].” The ’ô prefix sometimes 144 I.e., this is His usual way of doing things. 145 Tanchuma 8. 146 Why íÓfÔíþÖëÖcÔk—like this thing? Why not simply
means “because of.” (L.S.R.) 288 Unlike when they went down to Egypt. 289 I.e., because of the false claim that íÓïþÖëÖð—this thing? 147 Even concerning a lesser punishment, it is unjust to punish the righteous with the evil.
Sarah was Avraham’s sister. Thus, she would not agree to this subterfuge again. See above 12, 11ff. 290 Ber. Rab. 148 Why µñ íñ−ñì, a second time? 149 Gur Aryeh explains this as a reference to future generations. 150 The prefix í
52, 4. 291 ñÓê usually means “to.” 292 I Shmuel 4, 21. means the when the vowel under it is a ìÔzÔt (Ôí). It is an expression of incredulity when vocalized with a ìÔzÔt¹Ö¬Îì (Îí). # # 26015-EYAL - 26015-BERESHIT-EYAL.1 | 7 - B | 18-07-18 | 09:43:37 | SR:-- | Magenta 26015-EYAL - 26015-BERESHIT-EYAL.1 | 7 - B | 18-07-18
