Midrash su I Samuele 12:15

(Deut. 28, 22) Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people. R. Chanan b. Raba said in the name of Rab: "This refers to the father's wife (stepmother." (Ib. 32, 21) I will provoke them to anger with a worthless nation. R. Chanan b. Raba said: "This refers to a bad wife who has a large Kethuba." R. Elazar said: "This refers to the Sadducees, and so also says the passage (Ps. 14, 1) The worthless fool saith in his heart, 'There is no God.' " In a Baraitha it was taught that the last passage refers to the inhabitants of Barbara and Mauretania, who walk nude in the streets, for none is more detested and abhorred before the Lord than he who walketh naked. R. Jochanan said: "The above passage refers to the Parsee." R. Jochanan was informed that the Parsee came to Babylon, [and entered the Jewish colonies.] He staggered [from fright.] and fell down, but when he was informed that they took a bribe [to annul a decree], he straightened himself and sat down comfortably. He was then informed: "They decreed against three things." "This was because of the following three transgressions," was his reply. "They decreed against meat because of the sin of not giving the priestly gifts; they decreed against bathing, because of the [neglect] of the religious Tebilah; they dug out the dead, because of the sin of rejoicing at their religious days, as it is said (I Sam. 12, 15) Then will the hand of the Lord be against you, as it was against your fathers. Whereupon Rabba b. Samuel said that it refers to the evil act of digging out the dead, for the master said: 'On account of the sins committed by the living, the dead are dug out of their graves.'"
