HALAKHAH: There was an epidemic in Sepphoris but it did not touch the avenue where Rebbi Ḥanina was dwelling. The Sepphoreans were saying, why is this old man amongst us sitting in peace while the neighborhood and the town is ruined? He came to preach and said before them: There was one Zimry in his generation but 24’000 fell of Israel38Num. 25:9,14. Zimri’s sin was to sleep with a non-Jewish woman who offered herself to him.. But we, how many Zimry are in our generation39Visiting the bordellos in Roman Sepphoris. and you are complaining?
