as it is said: “From there he moved to the mountain.” 216 ,íÖþÖíÖíóÖMÌôšÑzмÔiÔî:þÔ ôÍêÓpÓL

So, too, every form of íÖ¬ÖñÐôÔí in Scripture êÖþКÌnÔaÓLíÖ¬ÖñÐôÔíñÖköÑ×Ðî One of them [the angels] óÓíÑôðÖìÓê
has the meaning e´misser in Old French. .ï"Ô¼ÔñÐa þ"−®îô¾ê had the mission of saving him Bñ−ÌvÔíÐñÔì−ÌñÖLíÖ−Öí

212 Although one angel cannot accomplish two missions, nevertheless, the one whose mission it was to overturn 206 It is self evident that the reference is to the daughters who are present! 207 Ber. Rab. 50, 10: ³îê®ôòí means
Sedom participated in the rescue of Lot because Sedom could not be destroyed while Lot was there. Therefore, literally, that will be found. This refers to the two great people who may be found among the descendants of Lot’s two
rescuing Lot and destroying Sedom are considered one mission. See Rashi above 18, 2. 213 See Rashi previous daughters: Ruth the Moavite and Naama the Amonite, from whom King Dovid descended. 208 Onkelos translates
verse íôíô³−î í"ð. 214 See v. 29. 215 The mountain. Which specific mountain? 216 Above 12, 8. 217 Although, it: you will be smitten. Rashi differs. 209 Dev. 2, 14. 210 Rashi derives this from the next verse where the angel
in between, he had gone down to Egypt. 218 Above 13, 3. 219 Ibid. 12, 8. 220 I.e., he, nevertheless, retained his admonishes Lot, “Run for you life!” Forget about your possessions. 211 In this verse the angels are referred to in the
tent on the original mountain. 221 Yeshaiyahu 66, 7. 222 Tehillim 124, 7. plural—îíìò−î ,îíê®−î ,îš−ïì−î—unlike the next verse when the angel is spoken of in the singular. # 26015-EYAL - 26015-BERESHIT-EYAL.1 | 7 - A | 18-07-18 | 09:43:37 |
