Midrash su Isaia 61:7

Acher asked this question of R. Mair, after he had gone forth into the evil courses: "What is the meaning of the passage (Ecc. 7, 14) Also this hath God made in equal measure with the other?" He answered him: "Everything which the Holy One, praised be He! — created. He created with its counterpart. He created mountains and He created hills; He created seas and He created rivers." Acher said to him: "R. Akiba thy teacher did not say so, but he explained it as meaning that He created righteous and He created sinners; He created the garden of Eden and He created Gehenna. To every individual belongs two shares, one in the garden of Eden and the other in Gehenna. If one is meritorious and righteous, he receives his own portion and that of his neighbor in the garden of Eden. If he has incurred guilt, he receives his own portion and that of his neighbor in Gehenna." R. Mesharshia said: "Where is the passage to prove this? Concerning the righteous, it is written (Is. 61,7) Therefore in their hand shall they inherit a twofold (portion), and concerning the wicked, it is written (Jer. 17, 18) And strike them with a double breach."

In the Torah of Rabbi Meir they found written 'and behold it was very good' - as 'and behold death was good'. Rabbi Shmuel Bar Nachman said: I was riding on the shoulder of my elder, and he was going from his city to Kfar Chanan through the way of Beit She'an, and I heard Rabbi Shime'on ben Eleazar sitting and explaining in the name of Rabbi Meir: 'and behold it was very good' - as 'and behold death was good.' Rabbi Chama bar Chanina and Rabbi Yonatan [disagree]. Rabbi Chama bar Chanina said: "it would have been proper that the First Adam did not taste the taste of death - and why was he charged with death? One reason: it is written (Ezekiel 28:13) [Ezekiel 28:12 begins: Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him: Thus says the Lord GOD: Your seal most accurate, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty] 'you were in the Garden of Eden' - was Chirom in the Garden of Eden? Impossible! Rather, [Ezekiel/Gd] said to him 'you were the one who caused the one in the Garden to die.'" Rabbi Chia, the son of the son of Rabbi Berachia said in the name of Rabbi Berachia 'you were a covering cherub' (Ezekiel 28:14) ['covering' can also be understood as 'washing away'] you were the one who cause that same cherub to die." Rabbi Yonatan said to him: "if that was so, let [God] decree death to the evil ones only, and let Him not decree death on the righteous. But then the evil ones would not repent over their deceptions, and also so that the evil ones wouldn't say 'the only reason the righteous are alive is that they are accostumed to do mitzvot and good deeds, let us be accostumed to do mitzvot and good deeds - and this doing would not be for its own sake. ...
