Tractate Semachot
If one dies after [an illness of] one day, that is a death by [divine] wrath;32In M.Ḳ. 28a (Sonc. ed., p. 181) the reading is ‘a death by being hustled away’. after two days, it is a precipitous death; after three days, it is a death by pestilence; after four days, it is a hurried death; after six days, it is the death decreed in the Torah;33A normal death. M.Ḳ. loc. cit. has ‘five’ instead of ‘six’, quotes Deut. 31, 14, Behold thy days approach that thou must die and explains: behold accounts for one (cf. Sonc. ed., loc. cit., n. 6), thy days accounts for two more, approach gives a further two, which makes five. after seven days, it is a death of [divine] love; after a longer period, it is a death of suffering.
