Commentaire sur Les Proverbes 2:18: Rachi, Rambam, Ibn Ezra et plus

כִּ֤י שָׁ֣חָה אֶל־מָ֣וֶת בֵּיתָ֑הּ וְאֶל־רְ֝פָאִ֗ים מַעְגְּלֹתֶֽיהָ׃

Certes, sa maison penche vers la mort et ses sentiers conduisent vers les ombres des trépassés.

Rashi on Proverbs

for her house sinks to death This refers back to “to save you, etc.” for whoever comes to her house will sink and slip as if down an incline that leads to death, and the Torah will guard you from this fall. Hence, it is a great thing for you.

Rashi on Proverbs

the dead Heb. רפאים, those who neglect (נרפים) the way of goodness and are forsaken without support until they fall into Gehinnom.
