Talmud zu Bereschit 6:13

HALAKHAH: “How is this? If he collected the produce from him,” etc. Rebbi Aḥa said, it is written: “For the earth was filled with oppression because of them.³¹Gen. 6:13. Gen. rabba 31(5), in the name of R. Ḥanina.” What was their oppression? If a person came carrying a box full of lupines they all asembled and each one was taking less than the worth of a peruṭah, a case which cannot be brought before the judges³²The farmer in the end was left with nothing but so many thieves took only a minute amount that he did not have a case against anybody.. Rebbi Ḥiyya bar Abba said, “much, much”³³Gen. 6:5 about the generation of the flood; Gen. 18:20 about Sodom and Gomorrha, identical expressions. Gen. rabba 28(3); R. Berekhiah in the name of R. Joḥanan.. The acts of these were identical to the acts of those.
