Talmud zu Ijow 6:17

³⁰¹Babli 108a, Tosephta 13:6, Gen. rabba26(6),28(3). It was stated: Rebbi Neḥemiah says, one understands it from what was said²⁹⁶Gen. 6:3. My Spirit shall not judge man forever. Rebbi Jehudah says, My Spirit shall not judge him, for I shall not give My Spirit into them when I shall give My Spirit into people³⁰²At the resurrection. The interpretations differ in formulation, not in meaning.. Rebbi Simeon says, My Spirit shall not judge him, for I shall not give My Spirit into them when I shall distribute the rewards of the just. Others say, My Spirit shall not judge him, I shall not bring it back into its sheath³⁰³In the container where souls are kept to be born or resurrected.. Rebbi Joshua ben Levi said, mainly their³⁰⁴The generation of the flood. scalding was parboiling. What is the reason? At the time when they were scalded they shrank; in its heat they disappear from their place³⁰⁵Job6:17.. What is in its heat? In their boiling. Rebbi Joḥanan said, every single drop which the Holy One, praise to Him, rained on them, He brought to a boil in Hell and rained it on them³⁰⁶Gen. rabba 28(9) [M. Sokoloff, The Geniza Fragments of Bereshit Rabba(Jerusalem 1982) p. 120].. That is what is written, in its heat they disappear from their place. Jehudah ben Rebbi Ḥizqiah and Rebbi³⁰⁷Probably one should read “Jehudah and Hizqiah, the sons of R. Hiyya”, or a name in missing here. In Mishnah Idiut2:10, the Babli, Šabbat 33b, and Thr. rabba1(42), the statement is anonymous. In Gen. rabba 28(7) it is attributed to R. Johanan, a student of Hizqiah.
The statement is the basis of the rule that prayers for deceased parents may be said only for 11 months, so as not to declare one’s parents as evildoers. said, the Holy One, praise to Him, judges the evildoers in Hell for twelve months. First He brings the itch on them; then He brings them into fire and they say woe, woe; after that He brings them into snow and they say wai, wai. What is the reason? He brought me up from the noisy pit, from miry mud³⁰⁸Ps. 40:3.. What is from יָוֶן mud? From a place where one says woe. Why could they not receive their punishment³⁰⁹This refers to the statement of the Mishnah that the people of the Deluge have no part in the World to Come, i. e., that their souls were destroyed. and then take part in the World to Come? Because the scoffer will not hear rebuke³¹⁰Since the goal of punishment is reform, punishment of scoffers is useless. Their souls, instead of being punished, must be destroyed..
