Musar su Ezechiele 16:53
וְשַׁבְתִּי֙ אֶת־שְׁבִ֣יתְהֶ֔ן אֶת־שבית [שְׁב֤וּת] סְדֹם֙ וּבְנוֹתֶ֔יהָ וְאֶת־שבית [שְׁב֥וּת] שֹׁמְר֖וֹן וּבְנוֹתֶ֑יהָ ושבית [וּשְׁב֥וּת] שְׁבִיתַ֖יִךְ בְּתוֹכָֽהְנָה׃
E trasformerò la loro prigionia, la cattività di Sodoma e delle sue figlie, e la cattività di Samaria e delle sue figlie, e la cattività dei tuoi prigionieri in mezzo a loro;
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
Rabbi Tuviah interprets the words "tents" as referring to two women since the place of women is in the tents. Rabbi Yitzchak also understands the verse in that sense although he draws his inference from the word הנמצאות. Perhaps this is also the inference to be drawn from the Torah's report about the exploits of the four kings. As soon as they had captured Lot, they went on their way, i.e. 11 ,14) ויקחו את לוט … וילכו). Although the four kings had never set eyes on Ruth and Naomi they had seen through their horoscopes the role that Lot's issue would play in the history of the Jewish people, and their prime purpose became to prevent the emergence of a Jewish people and thus to frustrate the concept of the Messiah and what he represents. This is the reason why Abraham set out immediately to rescue Lot and to pursue those kings and their armies. He also rescued the king of Sodom and his people in the process, seeing that in Messianic times even the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah will be restored, something we know on the authority of Ezekiel 16,53-55.
